Bailey Caravans has issued a statement detailing the front panel upgrades available to owners of early Pegasus and Olympus models in the Alu-Tech range.
All 2011 Alu-Tech construction caravans have received upgrades to the front panel protection, but the improvements have now been offered as a cost option to owners of older models.
The Bailey Pegasus and Olympus will sport a new ABS front bumper and a three-part protection film, while the Bailey Olympus will also receive upgraded film protection but does not receive a front bumper upgrade.
The new specification is as follows:
- Olympus: A three-part, 500 micron polypropelene protection film set
- Pegasus & Unicorn: A re-designed acrylic capped ABS front bumper, in addition to the three-part 500 micron polypropelene protection film set.
The Bristol manufacturer said that should owners of 2010 Alu-Tech models wish to upgrade their caravan to the new specification, then the items listed above can now be purchased from and fitted by their dealer.
Cost of film protection upgrades (Pegasus and Olympus)
The three-part 500 micron polypropelene protection film set available for both Pegasus and Olympus ranges will retail at a cost of £48.18 (RRP). The film can be fitted without the need to remove the existing ABS front bumpers and will be applied over the existing paint protection film. Unlike previous film upgrades, the set will also include a third section of polypropylene film which covers the area between the central bumper and the gas box door.
Cost of bumper upgrade (Pegasus only)
Pegasus owners have the option of purchasing additional protection in the re-designed acrylic capped ABS front bumpers, which are available at £129.11 (RRP).
Bailey has asked those with 2010 Pegasus models to note that as the new bumpers cover the lower entry point in the awning channel of these models, the fitment of certain awning types will be affected.
Owners of 2011 Pegasus models will find that the entry point has subsequently been raised to a position immediately above the new bumpers and they will not be affected.
The firm has asked owners to contact their supplying retailer should they require further information.
