The new range is even better looking inside and out and comes with stylish and practical new features including an upgraded Comfort pack


Lunar Caravans are set to launch some new family tourers. The four-berth Quasar 464 and five-berth Lexon 550 are both designed for families who would like a lightweight, high specification caravan that provides spacious and flexible living.

Bailey Orion

Bailey will today launch their much anticipated new entry level caravan, set to take over from the Ranger and Ranger GT60. Using the tried and tested Alu-Tech design. The Orion will now join Olympus, Pegasus S2 and Unicorn to complete the Bailey line up. Orion will have its own identity and will not be a striped down Olympus. It does remind us of the American Airstream caravans? The Bailey stand is sure to be extremely busy!







For budding Jamie Olivers a caravan cookbook will be available at the NEC. Written by Monica Riveron wife of television presenter and caravan convert Rowland Rivron.


This years NEC show is sure to be one of the best for several years, with plenty of new products and model on display.

New Bailey Alu-Tech Models and More!

Alu-Tech Side being produced
on-site at Bailey in Bristol

Earlier this month our engineers attended an Alu-Tech body work course at Bailey Caravans. Our engineers assisted in removing and replacing two complete sides. In many respects body work on Alu-Tech caravans is much easier than classic builds. If you know what your doing!!

Removal of Alu-Tech Fixings

Removal of complete Alu-Tech Side

Due to the complex nature of the Alu-Tech build very few workshops will be authorised to undertake any bodywork on Alu-Tech caravans. We are therefore extremely pleased that Bailey have chosen Carafit to be their Alu-Tech Repair Centre for Wales.

Later this month sees the NEC show, Bailey will have their Ranger replacement on show. The ORION, the fourth model in the Alu-Tech line up. Very interesting caravan, Bailey have resisted building a stripped down OLYMPUS. Opinions may be divided on the ORION design, its sure to be a talking point!
