The twin-axle Unicorn Pamplona came through some gruelling tests

Bailey Caravans pride themselves on putting their caravans through the toughest of endurance tests to make sure they fit the bill, but the Unicorn Pamplona’s recent visit to the Australian Outback took this process to a new extreme.

A recent trip to Al-Ko’s test track in Germany saw the Bailey Unicorn Cabrera complete 1,000 punishing laps of the circuit, but how would the Pamplona survive the notoriously harsh conditions of the outback?

Pretty well, as it turns out – travelling nearly the entire length of Australia between Melbourne and Perth over a three-week period, the Pamplona covered 3,500 miles in temperatures of up to 35 degrees Celsius.

Despite the extreme heat, the tourer successfully completed the gruelling challenge; just as the Bailey Pegasus overcame a similar Alpine Challenge in 2009 during which temperatures went as low as -15 degree Celsius.

In a statement, the company said: “[This] highlights the versatility of the Alu-Tech construction system and its ability to provide greater protection against the elements keeping you comfortable safe and secure no matter how tough the conditions.”
