Join CaravanTimes as the new Bailey Unicorn is put through its paces and tested to see how it performs under blistering heat of 60 degrees Celsius
The weather can’t win, can it? We moan when it rains, we moan when it snows, we moan when it’s windy and blows our hair out of place. And, despite the glorious summer we’ve had so far, we’ve got to admit it is a little too hot for our liking here at CaravanTimes Towers. We’re not going to complain though. It means lots more cool refreshing drinks and ice-lollies than we can shake a (lolly) stick at, as well as plenty more vitamin D to make everyone smile that little bit more.
The above said though, why can’t people be more like caravans? They don’t complain. You don’t believe us? Just ask Bailey of Bristol, who spend a rigourous amount of time testing theirs to ensure they wouldn’t moan even if they could. Alternatively, you can watch the video below to see how the new Bailey Unicorn copes with truly extreme heat. We’re not talking 30 degrees Celsius here either. Pah – that’s kids stuff. Take that and double it and that’s what you’re about to witness.
It looks as though Bailey of Bristol certainly don’t mess around when it comes to testing their caravans to ensure they are able to withstand extreme heat and, despite UK climes hardly ever reaching above the 30 degree Celsius mark on the thermometer, it’s not to say other regions where the new Bailey Unicorn will be made available don’t exceed that; take Australia and New Zealand for example. Plus testing the caravan to these extremities ensures the new Unicorn is a lasting piece of kit and a longterm investment worth paying for.
So sit back and enjoy the ride folks, as the new Bailey Unicorn is put through its paces at the Alde climate centre in Derbyshire. The heat testing undertaken by the third-generation Bailey Unicorn isn’t exactly a walk in the park. Carried out in accordance with strict European directives and tested by independent adjudicators, a team of experienced engineers, operating the hot chamber in which the new Unicorn is placed, produce detailed test reports highlighting successes and failures for each caravan tested. But, whilst turning up the heat to over double the temperature caravans are usually tested at, how did the new Bailey Unicorn perform? Watch here to find out.
