|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bailey Pursuit Series 2 550-4 | 4 | 1392 kg | 7.37 m | £14,500 to £18,500 |

The Bailey Pursuit Series 2 550-4 occupies a specific niche for those prioritising a lightweight 1392kg MTPLM and a fixed twin bed layout. While the Pegasus Brindisi and Phoenix 640 PLUS offer similar 7.37 metre lengths, they carry higher MTPLM figures. The Pursuit provides a more accessible entry point into the Alu-Tech range compared to the heavier and more expensive Unicorn Cadiz, though it lacks the high-end interior finishes of the latter.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the under-bed storage beneath the twin fixed beds to keep the central aisle clear.
- Monitor the 2.61 metre external height when navigating routes with low obstacles.
- Ensure the front lounge cushions are correctly positioned when converting to a double bed.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Exceeding the 155kg payload by installing heavy aftermarket accessories.

Worth knowing: Always confirm the exact MTPLM on the weight plate before calculating towing ratios.
