When it comes to buying used caravans, sometimes you’ll find a quality tourer that’s distantly related to a brand new model but for a fraction of the price. And in this latest edition of Used Caravan Of the Week we’ve found a Bailey Pageant that fits the bill quite nicely.
Bailey Caravans only phased out the Pageant range in 2009, replacing it with the Alu-Tech Pegasus models and the family resemblance is clear as this caravan’s popular four-berth, side dinette layout can be seen carried on in the Bailey Pegasus II Milan.
Whereas the 2012 model has an RRP of £16,895, this particular six-year old caravan is currently going at a fraction of that price and according to the seller it is still in “excellent condition”.
History
With only one-previous family owner, it’s clear that this ‘van has been carefully looked after, and the seller is only cashing in due to a “recent change of circumstances”.
The interiors and wood panelling have aged well and the only problems pointed out are “minor cosmetic imperfections”.
For added peace of mind, this caravan is CRIS registered in the previous owner’s name and has no outstanding finance to pay. Furthermore, the seller is even willing to deliver, provided the buyer agrees to pay the fuel costs incurred.
Kit and caboodle
This listing includes a Suncamp porch awning, an Aquaroll 40-litre water barrel, Aqua waste water, electric hook-up and a gas bottle all thrown in.
Other premium features include an AL-KO stabiliser, blinds on all of the windows, dual-fuel central heating, a panoramic rooflight and a Status TV aerial and booster.
What’s more, the fully bonded exterior body shell still has one year of its integrity guarantee remaining.
Perhaps most strikingly, the Champagne features an appealing end-on bathroom with a domestic-style curved shower door, which looks highly spacious.
All things considered, it’s hardly surprising that this tourer has already attracted 23 bids. Although the going rate is sure to rise beyond the current level of £2,000, this still represents a great opportunity for those looking for a well kitted-out, modern caravan that’s ready to roll.
