The Bailey Unicorn Series 2 Cartagena is a four berth, twin-axle caravan featuring a transverse island bed and a full-width rear washroom. Built until 2014, it utilises the Alu-Tech timberless bodyshell and Alde hydronic heating. With a 7.92 metre length and a 1717kg MTPLM, it offers a spacious interior and a 161kg payload, typically priced between 14500 and 18500 pounds in the pre-owned market.
- Twin-axle chassis with a 7.92 metre external length.
- Transverse island bed layout with a full-width rear washroom.
- Alu-Tech timberless bodyshell construction.
- Alde hydronic central heating system for year-round use.
- Large 190-litre Dometic fridge and freezer.
Worth knowing: The 1717kg MTPLM requires a high-capacity tow vehicle. Twin-axle dimensions may restrict access to smaller pitches or narrow lanes. A B+E driving licence category is often necessary due to the weight.
Buying a Bailey Unicorn Series 2 Cartagena

Reasons to consider it

What to check

| Model | Berths | MTPLM | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bailey Unicorn Series 2 Cartagena | 4 | 1717 kg | 7.92 m | £14,500 to £18,500 |

The Bailey Unicorn Series 2 Cartagena occupies a specific niche for buyers prioritising internal space and a transverse bed layout. While the Unicorn Cordoba and Pamplona offer similar twin-axle dimensions at 7.91 or 7.92 metres, they provide different sleeping configurations. The Cartagena remains a heavy option at 1717kg, whereas single-axle alternatives like the Cadiz offer a lighter 1600kg MTPLM for those with lower towing limits.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise a motor mover to assist with positioning the twin-axle chassis on tight pitches.
- Regularly check the fluid levels in the Alde heating system to ensure efficient winter performance.
- Distribute the 161kg payload evenly over the axles to maintain towing stability.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Underestimating the turning circle required for a 7.92 metre twin-axle caravan.
- Attempting to tow with a vehicle that lacks the necessary kerb weight for a 1717kg MTPLM.
Worth knowing: Payload is limited to 161kg; heavy accessories will quickly exhaust this margin.
Alternatives to the Bailey Unicorn Series 2 Cartagena
- Bailey Unicorn Pamplona - A suitable alternative if you require a similar twin-axle footprint but prefer a longitudinal fixed bed layout.
- Bailey Unicorn Barcelona - A similarly sized model worth comparing on layout, weight and price.
- Bailey Unicorn Cordoba - For buyers seeking a twin-axle layout with twin fixed single beds rather than a transverse island bed.
