Has it really only been a year since the Bailey Unicorn first appeared on the caravan market? Since its launch twelve months ago the Unicorn has become a firm favourite, accounting for impressive sales figures at last year’s October caravan show. As Bailey’s first true “luxury” model, the Unicorn brought a whole new level of interior quality – later echoed in the second generations of Pegasus and Olympus. And so in response to the enthusiasm of customers, Bailey has announced they will be adding two new models to the best-selling 2012 range.
In order to expand the choice of layouts available, the Bristol manufacturer has introduced the Unicorn Cabrera and Unicorn Pamplona. Based on the Virginia and Louisiana models from the previous Bailey Senator range, these new layouts should prove popular with those who recall the former range-topping model.
Alu-tech construction, classic layout
Island beds appear to be the headline, with both vehicles featuring an arrangement proving increasingly popular with caravanners. The Unicorn Cabrera is a four-berth model with an island bed on a single-axle platform, while the Pamplona uses the same format but on a twin-axle. Both models draw upon their Senator predecessors by retaining the luxurious end bedroom configuration, with a rear wall-mounted fixed double bed. What’s new here is a central en-suite bathroom consisting of a separate shower cubicle on the offside, and a spacious washroom with hand basin and heated Alde towel rail on the nearside. A well appointed kitchen and parallel bed front lounge completes the layout.
Those familiar with the new generation of Bailey Caravans will know all Unicorn models feature the Alu-Tech bodyshell system. Created to solve the problem of water ingress and thermal problems, the strong and simple construction allows Bailey to offer a ten year body shell integrity guarantee. All Unicorn models have also achieved Grade III Classification of Thermal Insulation, theoretically allowing the owner to use the caravan all year round.
Where you can see it
Bailey will be showing the new Unicorn models for the first time at the Motorhome & Caravan Show on Tuesday 11 October 2011. Visitors to Stands 19-29 will be able to tour the Pamplona and Cabrera up close, as well as see the first ever motorhome from Bailey.
