| Model | Berths | MTPLM | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bailey Olympus 525 | 5 | 1463 kg | 7.07 m | £8,500 to £13,500 |

The Bailey Olympus 525 occupies a specific niche as a five-berth, single-axle caravan with a 7.07 metre length. While the Pegasus Rimini offers a similar berth count at a higher price point, the Olympus 525 remains a competitive choice for those prioritising the Alu-Tech construction and a sub-1500kg MTPLM. The choice between these models often depends on whether the buyer requires the additional length or specific storage configurations found in the Pegasus or Senator ranges.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 178kg payload efficiently by distributing weight over the single axle.
- Make use of the Grade III insulation for winter touring to maximise value.
- Use the front lounge and rear dinette to maintain separate zones for children and adults.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Overloading the internal lockers beyond the 178kg payload capacity.
- Neglecting to check the seal integrity of the Alu-Tech bodyshell.
Worth knowing: Payload is limited to 178kg; monitor heavy equipment carefully. The 2.19 metre width requires awareness when navigating narrow lanes.
