From reading round the subject, they have built the van for the Australian market where you can tow that size of van.

As they are right hand drive over there, there is no retooling for the UK market so there is no cost apart from a brochure run for marketing it in the UK.

It's neither one thing nor the other, don't quite see the point of it.

A caravan journalist that I know says the dealers are mostly all very wary of taking them.

Apparently they are for export to Aus but also for permanent pitches in the UK - water system is unchanged as far as I can make out.  Its featured in one of the magazines this month and if I read correctly Bailey will offer a periodical pick up and drop off service (at a cost I am sure) for those who wish to move their van elsewhere at the end of a season.  I think they plan to bring out a more family friendly version later on.

Personally, I can't see it being too popular, a couple of feet here and there isn't going to give you anything nearly like the size of static, and is the extra room worth giving up the towability of a touring van for seasonal users? who knows

at 2.5m it is designed to be sited.it will need large transport to tow it.

I love it. We currently site our van and this would be wonderful BUT
a/ as most pitches allow for a certain width plus awning, I can see smaller sites being a bit wary
b/ resale market limited because of that limitation

Hubby hates the decor, I love it!!!

Not sure the 'walk through' bathroom is a good idea - I can see issues arising there!  Not least because the toilet is slap bang next to the kitchen 

In fact, why have the bathroom there anyway? Why not an end bathroom? Would have been more spacious with only one door.
