Bailey Unicorn range reviewed

The Bailey Unicorn models, with a new level of interior refinement, arrive on retailer sites from 1st September onwards. For those who appreciate the finer things in life, the limited edition three-model range named after Spanish cities is, of course, of Alu-Tech construction.

Seville is a two-berth model with end washroom, Valencia is a fixed nearside bed with end washroom and the twin axle four-berth Barcelona is the same layout as Valencia but sports a capacious fridge freezer in the kitchen. All models are very upmarket looking with Walnut furniture finish, a dedicated illuminated drinks cabinet set in contrasting kitchen lockers, a stainless steel microwave, luxurious looking soft furnishings, new style pleated window blinds, high gloss worktops, a Belfast style sink and new style storage in the washrooms. The dual fuel Alde hot water and heating system includes a 24 hour timer, heated towel rail and heating vents. The stylish graphics, with 3D resin name badges, 15ins alloy wheels and new style gas locker door are eye-catching.

Add the feeling of spaciousness with the headroom, Heki II roof lights and carefully located 12v lighting system with down lighters and you have your own four star, all season, holiday apartment on wheels. Go on, buy it before the VAT rise!
