Is the Bailey Unicorn Series 4 Cartagena a practical luxury caravan?
The Bailey Unicorn Series 4 Cartagena is a high-specification twin-axle caravan designed for four berths. It features a dedicated rear master suite with a transverse island bed and a full-width end washroom. Built on the Alu-Tech bodyshell, it includes premium components such as Alde central heating and a 190-litre fridge-freezer, making it suitable for long-term touring and seasonal use.
- Twin-axle chassis with AL-KO ATC trailer control and AKS 3004 stabiliser.
- Transverse island bed layout with a full-width end washroom.
- Alde hydronic programmable radiator heating system.
- Dometic 190-litre large capacity fridge and freezer.
- Truma 100-watt solar panel and TRACKER recovery system.
Worth knowing: The 1687kg MTPLM necessitates a heavy, powerful tow vehicle. A 7.91 metre total length may require a motor mover for tight pitches. Insurance premiums are typically higher for twin-axle models.
Buying a Bailey Unicorn Series 4 Cartagena
Who it suits

| Model | Berths | MTPLM | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bailey Unicorn Series 4 Cartagena | 4 | 1687 kg | 7.91 m | £21,000 to £28,500 |

The Bailey Unicorn Series 4 Cartagena sits at the top of the Unicorn range, offering a 7.91 metre twin-axle platform that prioritises a fixed bedroom and large washroom. While the Unicorn Barcelona shares the same external dimensions, the Cartagena is distinguished by its transverse island bed. For buyers restricted by towing limits, the single-axle Vigo or Cadiz offer similar luxury features in a shorter 7.34 metre frame, though they lack the internal floor space and 190-litre fridge capacity found in this flagship model.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the twin-axle stability for smoother motorway towing in crosswinds.
- Ensure the Alde heating fluid is replaced according to manufacturer intervals.
- Make use of the 100-watt solar panel to maintain battery health during storage.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Overloading the 160kg payload, which is relatively modest for a caravan of this size.
- Attempting to manoeuvre the 7.91 metre length manually on soft ground.
Worth knowing: The 1687kg MTPLM is a significant weight; always verify your vehicle's towing limit.
Alternatives to the Bailey Unicorn Series 4 Cartagena
- Bailey Unicorn Cadiz - The Cadiz offers a 7.34 metre length for buyers who prefer twin fixed single beds over the Cartagena transverse island bed.
- Bailey Unicorn Vigo - For those seeking a shorter 7.34 metre single-axle model, the Vigo provides a transverse island bed at a lower MTPLM.
- Bailey Unicorn Pamplona - A similarly sized model worth comparing on layout, weight and price.
