The Bailey Pursuit Series 1 560-5 is a dedicated family caravan that prioritises layout versatility and towing accessibility. While it offers a spacious rear dinette for children, the washroom and kitchen worktops are more compact than those found in larger twin-axle alternatives. Its 1441kg MTPLM makes it a lighter option compared to the Pegasus Ancona, though it provides one fewer berth. The choice between these models typically depends on whether the priority is a lighter towing weight or maximum sleeping capacity.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the rear dinette as a dedicated kids' zone to manage interior space.
- Monitor the Alu-Tech seals to maintain the caravan's moisture resistance.
- Use the 1.8kw electric setting on the Truma boiler when on hook-up to save gas.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Exceeding the 1441kg MTPLM when carrying equipment for five people.
- Neglecting to check the 14” alloy wheel torque settings.
Worth knowing: Payload is limited to 172kg; careful loading is required for five occupants. The 7.39 metre length requires appropriate pitch sizing.
