| Model | Berths | MTPLM | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bailey Olympus Series 2 460-2 | 2 | 1276 kg | 6.13 m | £8,500 to £12,500 |

The Bailey Olympus Series 2 460-2 sits in a competitive segment, offering a robust Alu-Tech build that distinguishes it from traditional timber-framed rivals. While the Swift Sprite Alpine 2 and Lunar Venus 460-2 offer lighter MTPLM figures for those with very small tow cars, the Bailey provides a high-specification interior with gloss finishes and a full-width washroom. The choice between these models often depends on whether the buyer prioritises the structural benefits of the Alu-Tech shell over the slightly higher payload or lower weight of its competitors.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 6.13 metre length to access smaller pitches that larger twin-axle models cannot reach.
- Ensure the 2.19 metre width is accounted for when selecting towing mirrors for narrower roads.
- Regularly inspect the external Alu-Tech extrusions to ensure the structural integrity is maintained.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Overloading the 137kg payload by installing heavy motor movers or large battery banks.
- Neglecting to use the flush-fit microwave cover when the appliance is not in use.
Worth knowing: Always confirm the exact MTPLM on the weight plate as specifications can vary by year.
