The 20,000th caravan built using Bailey of Bristol’s patented Alu-Tech design system has rolled off the production line.
This innovative system, which has been patented by the company, involves the use of an interlocking aluminium extrusion external framework and is designed to clamp the body panels of the caravan together to produce a rigid and durable sheel.
First developed in 2007, the system reduced the number of external joints and fixing points required on the average tourer, which helped improve the overall structural integrity.
Bailey of Bristol also moved to increase the thickness of its caravan shells while also removing any timber components on the sides and roof of the tourer.
Regarded as a major breakthrough in design technology, the methods were first applied to the Bailey Pegasus touring caravan range back in 2009.
Since then, the firm has introduced the system across the entire range of tourers developed by the company, including the recently launched Bailey Unicorn Series II and the Bailey Approach SE range of Alu-Tech motorhomes.
Commenting on this achievement Bailey managing director Nick Howard said: “Since its introduction three years ago Alu-Tech has changed the way people think about leisure vehicle construction.
“To have reached this milestone in such a short period of time is testimony to the popularity of the benefits the systems provides to customers and its proven track record of performance in use.”
