Bailey Caravans raises prices across all 2011 model ranges

by Marcus Dubois

Bailey Caravans has announced today a 2.5% increase in prices across the entire model range, to take place with immediate effect.

The Bristol-based caravan manufacturer cited “increases in both raw material and component costs plus adverse currency variations” as the reasons behind the review of its existing price structure.

All models across the Bailey Olympus and Bailey Pegasus ranges will be affected, as well as the Seville, Valencia and Barcelona in the Bailey Unicorn line-up. However prices of the recently launched Unicorn Madrid and Unicorn Almeria will remain unaffected as they already reflect this increase.

Delayed impact

Visitors to last week’s International Caravan and Motorhome 2010 at the NEC can be reassured that they came away with a good deal. Bailey has claimed today that “unlike other manufacturers” the firm held off implementing a price increase at the start of the new model year in September “to offer customers greater value during this key sales period”.

The firm also noted that over the past six weeks its Retailer Network “has enjoyed its most successful period ever in terms of retail sales activity” and orders for Bailey caravan models are said to be lined up for well into 2011.

The price increases in full

The new prices are applicable on all caravans delivered from Monday 18th October onwards, with the exception of those units which have already been retailed. These remain guaranteed at the current pricing levels (1st September 2010).

Bailey has revealed there are currently limited stocks of pre-price increase models still available on Retailer Sites – those interested in purchasing such caravans should contact their local agent as soon as possible.
