Is the Bailey Unicorn Series 1 Barcelona a suitable choice?
The Bailey Unicorn Series 1 Barcelona is a premium twin-axle caravan designed for four people, featuring the Alu-Tech bodyshell and Alde central heating. It offers a fixed French bed and a large end washroom, making it a spacious option for long-term touring, provided the owner has a sufficiently powerful tow car to manage its 1756kg MTPLM.
- Four-berth capacity with a fixed longitudinal double bed and front lounge conversion.
- Twin-axle chassis configuration measuring 7.87 metres in length.
- Alu-Tech timberless bodyshell construction for improved structural integrity.
- Alde hydronic central heating system for year-round climate control.
- End washroom layout featuring a walk-in shower and Belfast-style sink.
Worth knowing: The MTPLM of 1756kg requires a high-capacity towing vehicle. Manual manoeuvring is more difficult due to the twin-axle design. A B+E driving licence category is necessary for most drivers due to the weight.
Buying a Bailey Unicorn Series 1 Barcelona

Reasons to consider it
