The latest range to benefit from an all-round upgrade from Bailey is the Unicorn.
Henceforth labelled Unicorn Deluxe, it’s a line-up of six models, and from the outset you can see a lot of work has been done on the aesthetics as well as adding plenty of modern fittings.
Island (bed) living as Unicorn trots upmarket
The Bailey Union Deluxe Cabrera here is a single axle, standard width model, a four-berth with the kind of rear island bed layout that has massive appeal to couples. As well as the rear bedroom, there are en-suite facilities with a shower cubicle on the nearside and a toilet room offside.
In this video, we take a look around the all-new 2025 Bailey Unicorn Deluxe Cabrera caravan:
Up front, it’s a classic twin-settees either side of a chest of drawers arrangement, with Bailey’s trademark three-window front, the middle of which extends right over the roofline to let in as much daylight as possible.
The phone charger pad, also with USB-A and C portals, is one of many details that brings this Unicorn Deluxe caravan bang up to date.
Ditto the interior lighting, where Bailey has really gone to town with its latest dimmable ambient systems that can be operated via a portable control box.
Those lounge settees are slightly shorter than some, but nevertheless offer sprung-interior comfort and four scatter cushions (in two cover styles) plus bolsters.
It’s the table’s storage location – in the main bed base – that won’t appeal to all.
That main double bed is some 1.90m x 1.44m at its maximum, flanked by shaped wardrobes and handy ledges with hinged tops that open to storage below.
Berths three and four are from the settees – making up to 1.75m x 0.63m singles or a 1.93m x 1.31m double.
The roomy kitchen extends along the offside, offering the usual full cooker with dual-fuel hob, but the flat bed microwave oven’s location directly over the hob won’t be liked by all.
Other than that, everything is here, from a flip-up extension if you want more worktop, to slide-out racking for bottles and fresh produce etc, to a couple of generous soft-close drawers, plus floor- and upper-level lockers (two of each), all with concealed catches.
Bailey watchers will spot the new kitchen sink design with concealed fixings and flush-fitting loose cover that flips over for use as a chopping board.
But it’s the new swan-neck mixer tap with its flexible head that is the latest star attraction.
Across the corridor you’ll find the Thetford fridge with freezer. It’s a slimline, 142-litre total capacity model, set off the floor for easer access.
The toilet room is the same side as the kitchen, its solid door also doubling to close off the washroom and bedroom from the kitchen and lounge. There’s also a sliding door should you wish for the privacy of a full-width dressing area.
he countertop basin isn’t the most sturdy, but the storage opportunities around it and the Thetford swivel-bowl toilet are exemplary.
Other thoughtful touches include siting the toilet roll holder on the inside of the door to the locker under the basin (where it won’t get wet) and no less than four hooks.
The shower cubicle has folding doors and its walls are plastic-lined, with a handy step on the wheel arch. There’s a shower on a riser bar, a small rooflight and a drop-down rail for wet clothing, plus a handy acrylic tray that’s ideal for shampoo bottles and the like, but just the one drainage hole.
The Bailey Unicorn Deluxe Cabrera bodywork, is, as ever, Bailey’s Alu-Tech process, backed by a six-year integrity warranty. The manufacturer has also taken the opportunity to upgrade the exterior graphics, giving the whole caravan a more upmarket feel from the outset.
The main door is a stable-type design with locking to both sections, while other external fittings include 230V gas and satellite TV sockets, plus a 130Watt solar panel on the roof.
Heating and hot water from an Alde system top an impressive enough standard kit list. Elsewhere, there’s a lot of equipment that’s particularly insurance-friendly, right up to a Tracker Monitor CAT S7 system with the first three months subscription paid, plus a Tracker alarm and Al-Ko Secure axle wheel lock for a healthy discount on your caravan insurance premium with Caravan Guard.
You also get another Bailey trademark fitting, a Sonos Bluetooth speaker system. It’s complemented by a Status 570 TV aerial, with a flatscreen monitor holder and sockets in place for watching from the lounge. And all Bailey Unicorn Deluxe caravans have pre-wiring in place for an on-board wi-fi system.
There’s competition from all-comers when it comes to a popular layout like this at the low £30,000s mark. The Bailey Unicorn Deluxe Cabrera nevertheless has enough of its own style to set it apart.

Agree not a good position.
Used ours hob a lot last year and much steam generated.
The magnetron in the microwave blew!!
Why do they keep putting the microwave over the hob?
