About the Bailey Phoenix+ 640

The Bailey Phoenix+ 640 represents a significant leap forward in mid-range caravan design, combining the renowned Alu-Tech bodyshell technology with a modern, 'Dove Grey' aesthetic. This four-berth model is specifically engineered for couples or small families who prioritise a restful night's sleep, featuring a luxurious Transverse Island Bed that allows for easy access from both sides.
