Noise Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
During the development of the Approach
range of motorhomes Bailey determined
that a quieter journey adds to your comfort
as a traveller. The team developed stringent
requirements relating to Noise Vibration
and Harshness (noise emissions from your
empty vehicle). During the test drives the
team identied items that were making noise
and where possible designed solutions which
are enforced during the build procedure or
rectied by the component suppliers.
Bailey has tted bump stops to all cupboards
and drawer front. Should you lose a bump stop
or require extra these are readily available
through the Bailey Parts website. When tted
they will make your journey a more comfortable
one.
High Density acoustic foam has been used in
the construction of the vehicle to eliminate the
noise.
You may nd that closing rooight blinds
during transit also helps to eliminate noise.
Thetford Linear hob,
The glass lid that covers the hob is tted with
bump stops which prevent the glass from
rattling on the trivet. These bumps stops may
with time and driving on uneven road surfaces
move from the ideal position. If you nd that
your hob rattles on the trivet we would rst
advise you to move the bump stops to the
correct position. Failing this we would advise
that you position a tea towel under the glass
lid while driving.
Please ensure that you remove the t towel
before you commence cooking.
Thetford Grill Pan
The Thetford grill pan is loose in the grill box
and therefore during transit can move around
and makes an irritating noise. To avoid this,
Bailey would advise that the grill pan is stored
in the pan storage compartment at the bottom
of the oven and wrapped in a T Towel.
Polyplastic Windows
The window stays on your motorhome have a
tendency to rattle. Should you encounter this
we would suggest that you open each window
that is rattling and tighten the stay so that
the window stays open, then loosen the stay
by ¼ of a turn. The window stay will still be
under tension but you should be able to push
it closed easily. Turn the catches to secure the
window tight.
This operation must not be undertaken when
the vehicle is in motion.
Remis Cab Blinds.
If the cab blinds have been knocked out of their
xing points they will rattle. If you experience
this during transit please return your vehicle
to your retailer and ask them to ret the blinds.
