Wonder if that top drawer is one of the 'snagging' issues? LOL

Where did you take the pics Paul ?

Since 2008 & many years tugging
Still look like a cut & shunt job, looks like they have just grafted a caravan on the back of a Fiat cab awful styling or lack off.

Well yes, isn't that what a C Class is though?
Anyway the buyers don't agree with you re the styling - be surprised if Bailey haven't outsold Hymer 10:1 in the UK over the past few years.

Bailey's have never been lookers. looks that only its designer could love. I know, I own an Approach. The best place to be is inside one, loads of space.

We had a bailey caravan and loved it, looked at a few of their Motorhomes and dint like them plus at that time the payload was very small may have changed now.

Agreed, however I have seen one on the road last Friday and it does look better than the previous range, however it still doesn't look like a library bus thou;)

To me it looks cheap and slab sided inside and out.
I hate cupboard doors and drawers that look as though they have simply cut up an 8X4 sheet of melamine MDF and plonked them on. Which is what they have done!

Not for me.

I take it you don't do the dusting at home then :D

I mostly fit kitchens now and 90% of the ones I fit are slab type doors, gone are the days of the mounded panels, shaker style is the nearest to them.
I think weight is also a consideration for a motor home, and stability.

I like the minimalist styling inside - it looks very modern, though I'm not sure about that square oven door....it looks lovely but probably kind of thing I'd keep catching on the way past. I'm not so sure about the outside though - its a bit boring with a white body and white cab.

Baileys for us are always spoilt by the cheap looking interiors

Since May 2016 - very much newbies
All the details are now on the Bailey website:


...and I see Peter Vaughan has already done some video reviews for MMM:



First thing I noticed is that all five models are not short - either 7.5 or 7.9 metres

We were seriously looking at the Autograph 590 last year as we needed a 6m model to fit on the driveway (went for a Burstner it590 in the end) but that option now seems to have disappeared.
