Buying a Bailey Unicorn Cartagena

- Confirm the 190kg payload is sufficient for your intended equipment and accessories.

Compare the Bailey Unicorn Cartagena with similar models
| Model | Berths | MTPLM | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bailey Unicorn Cartagena | 4 | 1690 kg | 7.89 m | £20,000 to £38,000 |
| Bailey Unicorn Barcelona | 4 | 1650 kg | 7.91 m | £18,000 to £38,000 |
| Bailey Unicorn Deluxe Pamplona | 4 | 1759 kg | 7.82 m | £20,000 to £38,000 |
The Bailey Unicorn Cartagena sits in a competitive bracket of 4 berth twin-axle caravans. While it shares the 38000 upper price limit with the Unicorn Barcelona and Deluxe Pamplona, its 7.89m length and 1690kg MTPLM offer a specific balance of space and weight. It provides a larger footprint than the 7.34m single-axle Unicorn Cadiz or Vigo models, trading increased manoeuvrability for the stability and interior volume of a twin-axle chassis.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the external BBQ point and 230V socket to maximise outdoor living space.
- Regularly inspect the Alu-Tech bodyshell joints as part of an annual service schedule.
- Monitor the Alde heating fluid levels to ensure consistent performance during winter touring.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Underestimating the turning circle required for a 7.89m twin-axle caravan in tight spaces.
- Exceeding the 190kg payload by installing heavy aftermarket accessories without weighing the vehicle.
Worth knowing: Ensure your towing vehicle is legally rated for the 1690kg MTPLM.
