Is the Bailey Pursuit Series 2 400-2 a practical choice for couples?
The Bailey Pursuit Series 2 400-2 is a compact, two-berth caravan designed for ease of towing and agility. Built until 2018, it features the Alu-Tech bodyshell and a full-width rear washroom, making it a high-specification option for couples who prefer a shorter 5.41m total length. With an MTPLM of 1090kg, it is accessible to a wide range of tow cars while providing essential comforts like a 103-litre Dometic refrigerator and Ozio soft furnishings.
- Alu-Tech timber-free bodyshell construction for enhanced durability.
- Full-width rear washroom featuring a separate shower cubicle.
- Lightweight 1090kg MTPLM suitable for mid-sized family cars.
- Front lounge layout that converts into a double bed.
- Truma Combi heating and Thetford Triplex kitchen appliances.
Worth knowing: The 124kg payload requires careful management of heavy equipment. Kitchen worktop space is restricted when the three-burner hob is in use. Storage capacity is designed for two people and may feel tight on long trips.

The Bailey Pursuit Series 2 400-2 occupies a specific niche for those seeking a compact 5.41m caravan with a premium rear washroom. While alternatives like the Lunar Ariva offer a shorter 5.2m length and the Elddis Whirlwind provides a higher 1250kg MTPLM, the Pursuit balances a 1090kg weight with the structural benefits of Alu-Tech construction. It remains a competitive choice for couples who value a timber-free build over the larger payloads found in heavier 2-berth models.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 5.41m length to access smaller, more rural pitches that larger caravans cannot reach.
- Make use of the 103-litre refrigerator's capacity by pre-chilling before travel.
- Clean the panoramic front window with non-abrasive materials to maintain clarity.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Overloading the 124kg payload which can affect towing stability.
- Neglecting to use the directional features of the Status 550 aerial for optimal signal.
Worth knowing: Payload is limited to 124kg; consider the weight of gas bottles and batteries.
