Details surrounding the new Bailey Unicorn have emerged and it looks like we’re in for a treat

Full details have not yet been released regarding the new Bailey Unicorn. Those that have been revealed indicate that Bailey of Bristol are pulling out all the stops for its latest release, making key changes to their heating systems, wheels and design layout. They have worked with Alde, Wheel Solutions and the University of Bath in order to deliver the best possible updates to the popular model.

The series went all out to achieve its new graded classification for heating and thermal insulation on the new Unicorn, proving why it really is a caravan for all seasons. It is the first Bailey range to achieve the Grade III classification on electric only, is the fastest Bailey range to achieve +20°C inside while in the cold chamber in less than 2 hours and even exceeded full Grade III by maintaining +25°C and -25°C outside. The new Unicorn’s four season touring credentials are further enforced with extra features set to include an upgraded Alde central heating system featuring a new, more economical boiler, a user-friendly digital control panel and a washroom radiator.

The manufacturers have worked with wheel supplier, Wheel Solutions, to offer their customers an exclusive package. The model has laser balanced alloy wheels fitted with Michelin premium tyres ensuring even wear and tear on each tyre. Every wheel is also fitted with WSL Caravan Wheel Safety bolts, designed to ensure they stay tight and prevent wheel theft.

What’s more, the new Unicorn has adapted the layout of its previous caravans to guarantee that towing stability is at its best. On the new model, the battery box storage locker is now located under the floor in a central location with the gas bottle remaining nearer to the axel.

These changes were decided after research with the University of Bath, as previously highlighted in our video, which can be seen by clicking here .

The new information released follows Bailey’s recent announcement that the new Unicorn will be the first of many caravans to see the benefits of the company’s investment in a new approach to product development .
