Been looking through the preview for the NEC show and noticed that Bailey will be launching their new Olympus range, just wondering if anyone knows anything about them?

I thought the Olympus was an Avondale Perle or something. But then again wasn't it the engine in the Vulcan bombers.

There's a couple of pics of the new Olympus on www.caravanningnews.net . Still got that awful looking middle piece at the front, surely they could offer an ABS type as well.

Interior pictures now up at caravanning news.

£20 million of advanced orders placed this week by dealers after previews this week.

Looks like Bailey are leaving the other manufacturers in their "wake".

Odd they've gone for 7'2" width; the same as the Rangers. They're either struggling to keep the weight down or trying to help the environment a bit more at a time whe it looks like the legal maximum width will be increaased to 2.55m in line with the rest of Europe. It would be interesting to see if they can make more efficient layouts with the wider body making them shorter.

Looks like the fridge and microwave are still the same as the Ranger.

Hmmm. Looks almost identical to the Peggy, with no step up or down in terms of equipment, trim or layout. Can't see the point in that at all - why not call it a Pegasus whatever and keep the marketing neat?

It's a little surprising that Bailey should drop their top-of-the-range van, the Senator, when they don't have something ready to replace it.

I don't suppose anyone knows how the weights of the Olympus will compare with the existing Pageants?

I'm hoping that making them with the Alutech construction and 4" narrower will make them lighter than the Pageant.

I was all set on a nice light Lunar and then the Olympus came along.

They have replaced it with the Pegasus.

Thanks kensai...very interesting.

At the moment the costs and weights/measurements on the site are approximate, so I'll have to keep an eye out until they are changed. They appear to be Pageant weights and prices.

I'd imagine that the weights may reduce ....and the prices will increase
