Saw one in the flesh at Cheddar CC site last week. Looks nice from what I saw of it.

There are two single axle Unicorns at Chipping Sodbury caravans. They've been there for a few days now & are very nice vans.

Am I correct in thinking the Olympus is the new Ranger replacement?

We were looking at the Pegasus and Olympus yesterday and the Olympus seems much nicer than the Peggy yet I thought it was meant to be the entry level model?

I thought Olympus was new Ranger, Pegasus new Pageant and Unicorn new Senator.

As an avid Bailey disliker, Im sorry to say that the Unicorn is a cracking van but still looks like a breeze block on wheels!

johnks - We've recently taken delivery of an Olympus having upgraded from a ranger - one of the things we really liked was the wipe clean white walls!!

Sorry but we find them terribly cold an uninviting!

Good job we are all different or we would still be buying the gipsy caravans of the past!

Hi Esther,

Oooo.  Looking is dangerous! 

Bailey have said (at least at the moment) that the Unicorn is a limited edition van.  The Pegasus has replaced the Senator.  Bailey have officially said they are building no more Senator's, shortly after introducing the Pegasus.  They have now introduced the Olympus and like you, I prefer the overall look of it, but don't like the fact that it is 4" narrower.  One retailer I spoke to was a little dubious about the Olympus kitchen work surface, saying he thought it might scratch easily (or show the scratches).

As far as I am aware, Bailey have not yet officially said they are stopping the Pageant (I had the conversation with CC insurance in July), but personally I would think it is just a matter of time - they don't seem to be making any at the moment, but the way I understand it is that they do them in batches, and if no-one has shown to be especially bothered about them, then no doubt they will not schedule in a build.  I think the future of the Ranger will also be in question.

Best wishes to yourself and Ian.
