| Model | Berths | MTPLM | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bailey Discovery D4-4L | 4 | 1083 kg | 5.95 m | £14,500 to £20,495 |
| Bailey Discovery D4 2 | 2 | 995 kg | 5.84 m | £15,500 to £21,500 |

The Bailey Discovery D4-4L occupies a specific niche for those prioritising low weight and ease of towing without moving to a 2-berth model. While it offers a versatile 4-berth layout and robust Alu-Tech construction, it trades interior aisle width and washroom space for its 1083kg MTPLM. Compared to larger alternatives like the Pegasus Genoa, it is significantly lighter but offers less kitchen worktop space. It remains a balanced choice for users who value agility over internal volume.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the parallel seat front lounge for daytime relaxation to keep the side dinette free.
- Monitor the GRP skinned bodyshell for any surface impacts to maintain the Alu-Tech integrity.
- Make use of the 2.21m width when navigating narrow country lanes where wider caravans might struggle.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Overloading the 120kg payload capacity, which can affect towing stability.
- Assuming standard awning sizes will fit the compact 5.95m body without checking.
Worth knowing: The 120kg payload must accommodate all personal effects and gas bottles.
Alternatives to the Bailey Discovery D4-4L
- Bailey Discovery D4 2 - Choose this model for a lighter 995kg MTPLM and a shorter 5.84m length if a 2-berth layout is sufficient.
- Swift Basecamp - Select this model for a more compact 5.59m length and a 1100kg MTPLM if seeking a different 4-berth configuration.
- Bailey Pegasus Genoa - A similarly sized model worth comparing on layout, weight and price.
