Is the Bailey Pegasus Grande SE Bologna the right 8ft-wide caravan?
The Bailey Pegasus Grande SE Bologna is a 4-berth, twin-axle caravan defined by its 8ft-wide body and transverse island bed layout. It is designed for those seeking maximum internal volume, offering a 2.45m width that facilitates a unique G-shaped front lounge and a spacious kitchen with a 153-litre fridge-freezer. With an MTPLM of 1656kg and a length of 7.86m, it provides a stable, apartment-style living environment for extended touring.
- 8ft wide body shell for increased internal floor space and a wider central corridor.
- Twin-axle chassis equipped with the AL-KO ATC trailer control system.
- Transverse fixed island bed layout with a full-width rear washroom.
- G-shaped front lounge featuring a sliding dinette and vertical skylight.
- Off-grid capability via a factory-fitted Truma 100-watt solar panel.
Worth knowing: The 2.45m width requires careful route planning on narrow roads. A high MTPLM of 1656kg necessitates a powerful tow vehicle. Manual manoeuvring is difficult without a motor mover due to the twin-axle design.
Buying a Bailey Pegasus Grande SE Bologna
Who it suits
- Families or couples who prioritise interior living space and a permanent bed.
- Tourers who prefer the stability of a twin-axle configuration on motorways.
- Users who spend extended periods on-site and value a domestic-style shower.
Reasons to consider it
- The extra-wide body shell creates a significantly more open atmosphere than standard caravans.
- High-end kitchen appliances and a large fridge-freezer support serious on-board catering.
- Standard inclusion of a 100-watt solar panel aids off-grid flexibility.
What to check
- Verify the operation of the 153-litre Dometic fridge-freezer on all power sources.
- Inspect the condition of the foam mattress on the transverse island bed.
- Ensure the AL-KO ATC system is functioning correctly for towing safety.
- Check the vertical front skylight for any signs of seal degradation.
Worth knowing: Payload is limited to 160kg, which may be restrictive for four occupants on long trips. The 8ft width can make some standard pitches feel cramped.
Compare the Bailey Pegasus Grande Se Bologna with similar models
| Model | Berths | MTPLM | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bailey Pegasus Grande Se Bologna | 4 | 1656 kg | 7.86 m | £24,500 to £33,995 |
| Bailey Pegasus Grande Se Brindisi | 4 | 1669 kg | 7.38 m | £24,500 to £31,500 |

The Bailey Pegasus Grande SE Bologna sits in a competitive segment of 8ft-wide, twin-axle caravans. While it shares its 7.86m length with the Messina Black Edition and the newer GT75 Bologna, its specific SE trim—featuring Goldhawk soft furnishings and Light Oak furniture—distinguishes its interior aesthetic. It offers a similar MTPLM to the Unicorn Barcelona but focuses on the extra-wide body shell rather than the Barcelona's slightly longer 7.91m exterior. Choosing between these models often depends on whether the buyer prefers the specific G-shaped lounge of the Bologna or the different layout configurations found in the Unicorn or Messina ranges.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 100-watt solar panel to maintain battery health during periods of storage.
- Use the G-shaped lounge's sliding dinette to adjust floor space as needed during meal times.
- Check your vehicle's braked towing limit against the 1656kg MTPLM before transit.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Underestimating the turning circle required for a 7.86m twin-axle caravan.
- Exceeding the 160kg payload by installing heavy aftermarket accessories like air conditioning.
Worth knowing: The 7.86m length and 2.45m width may exceed the capacity of some smaller storage plots.
