Pegasus, Unicorn, Autograph and more to be on display at this year’s show
Bailey of Bristol has announced its full line-up of caravans and motorhomes set to be on display at this year’s Caravan, Camping & Motorhome Show at the NEC in Birmingham between 23 and 28 February 2016.
With a wide choice of specifications, style and value for money, the lightweight, entry-level Pursuit range with six models available from £13,190 will be on display, as well as the new, mid-range Pegasus models featuring enhanced interiors and unique DreamSleep seating system with seven layouts, available from £17,169. Making its triumphant return will also be the best-selling Unicorn with eight layouts and all the top-of-the-range luxuries, available from £20,415.
Bailey will also be showing their innovative motorhome ranges at the Caravan, Camping & Motorhome Show, including the entry-level Approach Advance range, with two models showcasing a new ‘Queensway’ upholstery option. The Approach Advance has a narrower 2.35m body width and maximum weights up to 3,500kg, so they can be driven without needing B+E driving licence entitlement, with four models and up to six berths, with prices starting from £38,515. In addition, all six models from the best-selling Approach Autograph range with the highest specifications and refinement available from £46,015.
As with previous years, to help visitors to the show find their perfect caravan or motorhome, Bailey will arrange each model by layout and number of berths to make it easier to see the variety available from Bailey and decide which specification and style suits you best.
Representatives from Truma and Alde on the Bailey stand will also be available to answer any queries about their heating and hot water systems, plus Belfied Furnishings will be demonstrating how the award-winning Dreamsleep soft furnishing system converts into a double bed in less than 60 seconds.
There is also a special feature area on the Bailey stand – the Bailey Fun Zone – where various activities will be taking place each day. These include a competition with the opportunity to win an exclusive LEGO brick Bailey Pegasus caravan kit, while on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday there will be free mini-manicures at the Bailey pop-up nail bar, and free face painting at the weekend.
Another highlight, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, will be the opportunity to ask a young caravan-loving, professional snowboarder and blogger couple, Simon Cudlip and Faye Young, about all-year caravanning as they are spending this winter in Austria in a new Bailey Pegasus Brindisi. They have already posted regular ‘Bailey Snow Season’ updates on the Bailey Blog here and on Twitter and Instagram using the #BaileySnowSeason tag.
The newly rebranded Bailey Owners Club is celebrating its new name and a new chapter in its 45-year history with a competition open to anyone who owns a Bailey caravan or motorhome who visits its desk on the Bailey stand. The first prize includes seven nights at a choice of Camp’Atlantique campsite in France for two adults on a full-service pitch, plus a DFDS Seaways ferry crossing from Dover to Calais or Dunkirk. The second prize is seven nights at the luxurious Lakeside Touring Park in Lincolnshire, part of the Don Amott Parks group, which has a full range of facilities, including a heated pool complex, bar and restaurant. There are three third prizes of VIP tours of the Bailey production facility in Bristol for two people, including lunch with the directors.
Nick Howard, managing director at Bailey of Bristol, said: “There’s something for everyone on the Bailey stand, from entry-level to top of the range caravans and motorhomes, all with the reassurance of our patented Alu-Tech construction to make them stronger, lighter, better insulated and more resistant to the elements.”
