Is the Bailey Olympus Series 1 624 a reliable four-berth caravan?
The Bailey Olympus Series 1 624 is a versatile 4 berth caravan notable for its Alu-Tech timberless construction. It features a side dinette and a spacious end washroom, offering a 203kg payload within a 1450kg MTPLM. With a price range between 8500 and 11500, it provides a durable, lightweight option for families or couples who prefer flexible living space over a fixed bed.
- Alu-Tech timberless body shell construction for moisture resistance.
- Side dinette layout that converts into bunk beds.
- Full-width end washroom with a separate circular shower cubicle.
- Kitchen equipped with a 107-litre refrigerator and Spinflo oven.

Worth knowing: The absence of a fixed bed requires daily conversion of the seating areas. Interior styling reflects the 2011 production era and may appear dated. The gangway becomes narrower when the side dinette is used as bunks.
