The Bailey Olympus Series 1 462 sits in the mid-market sector, offering a balance between the lighter Pageant Monarch and the heavier, more premium Unicorn Seville. While it shares the 6.47m length of the Unicorn range, its 1263kg MTPLM makes it more accessible for a variety of tow cars than the Senator or Unicorn alternatives. The choice between these models typically depends on whether the buyer prioritises the lower weight of the Olympus or the higher equipment levels found in the Unicorn series.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 6.47m length to ensure your storage pitch or driveway is sufficiently sized.
- Regularly clean the domestic-style glass fronted oven to maintain the interior finish.
- Monitor the 107 litre refrigerator performance when switching between gas and electric power.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming the front lounge can accommodate more than two people for sleeping.
- Overloading the twin front wet lockers, which can affect noseweight.
Worth knowing: Ensure the 185kg payload is not exceeded when installing heavy optional extras. The 2.19m width requires appropriate towing mirrors for safe road use.
