Do you think just having two ranges would be enough?
It would realy limit them surely?

In my opinion I think they should have kept a conventional range, at least while the Alutec found it's feet, i.e Ranger which was hugely popular or Pageant.

I suspect though that it keeps down
manufacturing costs if they are all of the same construction.

isnt the ranger replacement due out in february?

i think the gap between olympus and unicorn is too big not to have a model in between  . ie pegasus....but what do i know ?

There are no 6 birth layouts in the Unicorn yet.

If the Unicorn is going to be a special edition (like the GT60 was 3 years ago, yet is still on Bailey's website!!!), then perhaps they are doing a build run before phasing it out.

Perhaps the Pegasus is going to get a mid life refresh. I noticed that the Unicorn has lost the folding table leafs so perhaps the Pegasus II will be styled more like the Olympus, yet keep its equipment levels.  I agree that the gap between the Olympus & the Unicorn is too large.

The Pegasus is the iPhone of the caravan world.

There'll be a lot of unhappy owners if they do drop Pegasus from the line up. We weren't best pleased to find they were about to launch the series 6 Pageant when we picked up our new series 5 Provence, if we'd known the new model was about to run, we'd have cancelled ours. The same happened to us again not long after we bought our new Series 7 Provence, not long after they stopped the model altogether & released Alu-Tec ranges along with the increased prices which could mean we've bought our last new one. Our Series 7 will have to last us.

What we've got in Pegasus is Alu-Tech 1.0. The Olympus is 1.1 and Unicorn is 1.2. The Peggy is already looking out of date on the inside, and needs updating and the price point needs adjusting to maintain Bailey's rep for making good value-for-money vans.

In the past, caravans would be introduced and stay in production, largely unchanged, for years. Now they change from year to year. It's like the iPhone - the early adopters get a revolutionary new product, but with some rough edges. Within just a few years it's developed, far exceeded the original design, and influenced the whole market. The Pegasus is the iPhone of the caravan world.

Most manufacturers  make changes to their models every year but Bailey in the past have adopted the attitude of making changes every two years. I think Bailey will be dissappointed to hear that the Pegasus is beginning to look dated, it was supposed to be a big step forward and in just over a year it looks dated!
