|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bailey Unicorn Series 1 Cabrera | 4 | 1593 kg | 7.25 m | £10,500 to £13,500 |

The Bailey Unicorn Series 1 Cabrera occupies a specific niche for buyers seeking a transverse island bed on a single axle. While the 1593kg MTPLM is higher than some alternatives like the Pegasus Verona (1495kg), it offers the premium Alde heating system and Alu-Tech construction. Compared to later Unicorn Cabrera iterations, this Series 1 model features more traditional styling but maintains a similar 7.25m footprint. The choice between these models often depends on the towing capacity of the lead vehicle and the preference for the specific Series 1 interior aesthetic.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 7.25m length by planning pitches that accommodate single-axle island bed layouts.
- Use the 800-watt microwave only when connected to appropriate site power.
- Monitor the Alde fluid levels to ensure the heating system remains efficient.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Overloading the front lockers, which are already restricted by the curved profile.
- Attempting to tow with a vehicle unsuitable for the 1593kg MTPLM.
Worth knowing: The 156kg payload must be managed carefully when loading heavy items. The 2.28m width requires appropriate towing mirrors for road safety.
