A leading motorhome and caravan insurer has named the Bailey Pageant Bretagne Series 7 the most popular caravan of 2009.
Safeguard, who have specialised in motorhome and caravan insurance for 25 years, reached the outcome after assessing figures from caravan sales in 2009.
Rita Sadler, manager of Safeguard said: “According to our figures Bailey caravans continue to be the most popular for our customers with the Bailey Pageant Series 7 really coming out on top this year, but it’s also good to see some other homes in the list such as the Swift Conqueror 630 and the Elddis Xplore 546.”
Bailey featured in five of the top ten places on Safeguard’s list. Swift, Elddis, Stirling and Coachman brands also featured, with the Swift Conqueror and Charisma taking second and third places respectively.
The increased popularity of caravanning over the last few years could be attributed to the high quality finishes of newer models. Sadler added: “Caravans and motorhomes have come a long way over the past few decades. They now offer unbelievable levels of comfort as well as a few luxuries.”
