Bailey Unicorn Series 1 Valencia: Layout and Berth Facts
The Bailey Unicorn Series 1 Valencia is a caravan with 4 berths. Recorded layout tags include Fixed Nearside Bed and Rear Washroom.

Buying a Bailey Unicorn Series 1 Valencia
Who it suits

What to check

- Check the condition of the 'Elgar' or 'Mozart' upholstery and deep-pile carpets.
