It is the Bailey policy to constantly improve their vehicles,
so whilst all illustrations and descriptive matter in this
handbook are intended to give a general idea of the
caravan and are correct at the time of going to press,
changing market and supply situations may prevent us
from maintaining the exact specication details of this
handbook. Bailey therefore reserve the right to alter the
specication at any time without prior notice.
Bailey offer a variety of customer uses and whilst each
vehicle is designed to feature the optimum storage,
seating, sleeping and uid capacities, it is the customer’s
responsibility to select the correct loads without
exceeding the weight capabilities of your chosen towing
vehicle. These weights can be found on the weight plate
located outside your vehicle next to the exterior door
and on the Approval Label inside the gas locker.
