length
Well we have the Bailey Autograph 750 ( I believe the same base as the 745) and absolutely love it, both for quality and value for money. Like you we have some mobility issues and that was the reason we changed from our 6 berth Chausson Flash 09, with the over-cab bed reached by a ladder, which we had from new, but as we soon found out, at 3 in the morning getting down the ladder to the loo, was just plain dangerous for the other half and me, if I'd had a drink, as you do, so the rear bottom bunk bed was utilised by my better half, but then was tight to get into, I continued to fall down the dam ladder. Also there was no lounging space as it was a double dinette. So we looked and the Bailey 750 was our choice, didn't break the bank and suits us very well. The length is not any problem, as you soon get to know it, just take your time. I would always have a good rear view camera and on this we have the twin waeco set up, which all Baileys are already wired for. It drives very well and with really good MPG. It has everything already in it including microwave, full oven, 4 burners and grill etc. The lounging space is good enough to sit 7 people very comfortably. Our dealer Moran's Motorhomes suggested a little mod done to the sofas, as a result there is now a L shaped, long sofa. The rear garage is spacious and has our 2 mountain bikes in along with all the usual bits and pieces, 4 chairs sunbed and tables, fishing gear etc. Weight all up, including everything was taken at 3610kg last time out, it's plated at 3850kg so we have some leeway. We also trail a scooter on a transverse trailer, with no problems.
I don't think that the ferry fares will seriously upset your pocket, re the difference in the length , but it's easy enough to find out on the web by getting the quotes from the ferry companies.
The reason we didn't go for the 745, was that with the corner bed, one has to disturb the other, to get out of bed, if your on the inside., but it's everyone to their own and I hope the above info has helped,
