For the majority of UK caravanners, their previous purchases have been for either a touring caravan, or a static caravan. A new market has now emerged which has been labelled leisure homing, and it represents a bit of a hybrid between the two.

Leisure homing involves renting a pitch out in a caravan park and leaving your touring caravan there year round, and Bailey caravans has jumped on this trend with its new Retreat model.

Caravan Times visited Bailey recently to get all the details on the Retreat, and how it fits in to the leisure homing market.

Simon Howard, the Marketing Director at Bailey, tells us exactly what to expect from the Retreat, as well as the thought process behind its larger size and extra weight.
