Bailey to build custom caravans for C&CC training centre

by Chris Jefferies
Caravan owners looking to sharpen their skills will soon be able to try their hand at towing a Bailey Orion as part of a new partnership with the Camping and Caravanning Club.
Members and non-members alike can book onto a towing training course at a number of accredited centres across the UK and get top tips from professional instructors, while towing a custom-made Bailey caravan.
The sessions, which are priced at £99 for a full day’s training, focus on increasing road safety awareness, whilst giving caravanners the skills to manoeuvre their outfit with confidence.
Bailey launched the entry-level Orion range earlier this year, and the Bristol-based ‘vanmakers claim that these models are ideally suited to the job, due to their aerodynamic shape and lightweight Alu-Tech construction.
Robert Louden, Director General at The Camping and Caravanning Club said: “We are delighted to work with Bailey and we hope our members enjoy towing with such safe and reliable units.”
In other Bailey news, the manufacturer has expanded its retailer network, offering customers more support at three new centres.
These outlets are Costwold Edge Caravans in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, Teeside Caravans in Thornaby, Stockton-on-Tees, and Wandahome Caravans in Knottingley, West Yorkshire.
Each site will be taking delivery of new Bailey models, including the recently launched Olympus Series II, in September.
Bailey now boasts a grand total of more than 80 retail outlets and 40 approved service centres, the largest network for a single caravan brand.
