Bailey Caravans have been developed using over sixty years of experience in caravan design and are manufactured in a state-of-the-art production facility to provide the very best in touring home quality and value.

The company will now be bringing this same level of expertise to the Motorhome market with the introduction of a new range in October 2011

The first vehicles will be a range of coachbuilt motorhomes featuring the award winning Alu-Tech body shell construction system. This state of the art technology, conceived initially for the company's touring caravan ranges, is seen by many as the most significant development in leisure vehicle production technology for over thirty years.

Engineered to ensure it remains weatherproof and structurally sound the Alu-Tech bodyshell sets the standards in terms of durability. A new design interlocking external framework provides greater strength and rigidity as well as significantly reducing the number of external joints and fixing points thus minimising the potential for water ingress and improving the overall integrity of the protective shell.

At the same time timber free upper bodyshell panels, featuring a composite plastic internal skeleton also offer a second line of defence by limiting the impact any possible ingress may cause.

The body assembly incorporates thicker laminated panels which combine with additional supplementary insulation in traditional cold-spot areas to improve the thermal properties of the shell, keeping you warm in the winter and cool in the summer as well as making the vehicle more economical to own. 

For more information of the design story behind the Alu-Tech construction system please visit the website

Over the past twelve months Bailey has been working on modifying the Alu-Tech system using the latest 3-D modelling computer software to specifically suit the needs of a motorhome. The resulting vehicles have then been subjected to a series of accelerated life and structural tests as well as being given a thorough examination in a climate control chamber at the internationally renowned Millbrook Proving Ground to ensure that every aspect of the new designs have been thoroughly evaluated.

An introductory Bailey Motorhome web site is now live and this will be updated with regular news and product information prior to the official public launch in October later this year.

Very interesting..but lets hope they actually end up producing something different and innovative layout wise..and not just the all too familiar,rear kitchen/inward facing settee,".it's what the British market demands.." layouts(..are you listening AutoSleepers? ).

...and please,not just on Fiats!

Oh!..so going by the look of what's on that Bailey link..neither the two berth nor the four berth models have any belted travel seats?..

How on earth can that be a good,well thought out design!?...

..I .can't really see what's going to set them that far apart from the usual" front lounge/inwards facing settee" designs....
