Is the Bailey Unicorn Series 2 Barcelona a good choice for long-distance touring?
The Bailey Unicorn Series 2 Barcelona is a high-specification 4 berth caravan designed for extended touring and year-round comfort. Built until 2014, it features a twin-axle design for stability and the Alu-Tech bodyshell. With a fixed island bed, Alde central heating, and a 190-litre fridge freezer, it provides a well-equipped environment for couples or families, provided they have a tow vehicle capable of handling its 1686kg MTPLM.
- Twin-axle chassis for enhanced towing stability on motorways.
- Alu-Tech timberless bodyshell construction for improved durability.
- Alde programmable radiator heating system for year-round use.
- Fixed transverse island bed and full-width rear washroom.
- Large 190-litre Dometic fridge and freezer unit.
Worth knowing: The 1686kg MTPLM requires a tow vehicle with significant pulling capacity. A 7.92m total length can make manoeuvring difficult in confined spaces. Maintenance costs for twin-axle models are typically higher than single-axle units.

The Bailey Unicorn Series 2 Barcelona sits in a competitive price bracket between 14000 and 19500. While it offers superior stability and internal space compared to single-axle models like the Cadiz or Vigo, it carries a higher MTPLM of 1686kg. Compared to the Pamplona or Cordoba, which share the twin-axle footprint, the Barcelona remains a popular choice for those specifically seeking the transverse island bed and end-washroom configuration in a pre-2014 model.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the under-bed storage area for heavier items to maintain a low centre of gravity.
- Regularly check the seals on the Alu-Tech bodyshell as part of annual servicing.
- Drain the Alde system according to manufacturer intervals to prevent internal corrosion.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Overloading the 160kg payload by installing heavy aftermarket accessories like motor movers.
- Underestimating the turning circle required for a 7.92m twin-axle caravan.
Worth knowing: Ensure the tow vehicle is legally rated for a minimum 1686kg braked trailer weight.
Alternatives to the Bailey Unicorn Series 2 Barcelona
- Bailey Unicorn Pamplona - For buyers seeking a similar twin-axle layout but with a higher MTPLM of 1750kg, the Pamplona offers an alternative within the Unicorn range.
- Bailey Unicorn Cadiz - If a shorter 7.34m single-axle caravan is preferred over the 7.92m Barcelona, the Cadiz provides a lighter 1600kg MTPLM option.
- Bailey Unicorn Vigo - The Vigo offers a 4 berth layout on a single-axle chassis for those who find the twin-axle footprint of the Barcelona too large for specific pitches.
