I agree with you; we had a 2003 Bailey Pageant Vendee until earlier this year. In 16 years, nothing broke, fell off or wore out and it was as dry as snuff. We looked at a new Pegasus and just did not like the build quality or the cheap attempts at bling. We ended up with a 3 year old Lunar Clubman, which appears to be in a different league to the Bailey.
In answer to your original question, the correct pink glycol used in the Alde heating system is the same as that used in VW group vehicles and is available from Eurocarparts for less than £20 for 5 litres. I intend changing the fluid in our caravan after the last outing of the year, later this month. By all accounts, it is not a quick job unless you have the correct pump that the dealers use, but it appears to be straightforward and I am willing to have a go and save £280. There are videos on YouTube that give you the general idea as to how to do it.
