Is the Bailey Unicorn Series 4 Merida a good choice?
The Bailey Unicorn Series 4 Merida is a premium two-berth caravan designed for couples who prioritise living space and washroom facilities over a fixed bed. Built until 2019, it features the Alu-Tech bodyshell and high-specification components such as Alde central heating and a vertical front infinity window. With an MTPLM of 1330kg and a payload of 120kg, it offers a refined touring experience for those comfortable with nightly bed conversion.
- Two-berth layout featuring a front lounge and a large end washroom.
- Built on the Alu-Tech bodyshell with a GRP outer skin for durability.
- Equipped with Alde programmable radiator heating and a 100 watt solar panel.
- Safety features include the AL-KO ATC system and a TRACKER recovery system.
- Kitchen fitted with a 133 litre Dometic refrigerator and ample worktop space.
Worth knowing: The absence of a fixed bed requires the lounge to be converted every night. A width of 2.28m may prove challenging on narrower rural roads. Used prices reflect its position as a premium flagship model.

- Confirm the status of the TRACKER Stolen Vehicle Recovery System subscription.

| Model | Berths | MTPLM | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bailey Unicorn Series 4 Merida | 2 | 1330 kg | 6.37 m | £17,500 to £24,000 |

The Bailey Unicorn Series 4 Merida sits in a competitive segment of the used market, priced between 17500 and 24000. While it lacks the convenience of a fixed bed found in some alternatives, it compensates with a significantly larger washroom and more kitchen worktop space than many two-berth models. Its 1330kg MTPLM makes it more accessible to a wider range of tow cars than the heavier Unicorn Seville, though it remains a premium choice compared to the more budget-oriented Phoenix Plus 440.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 120kg payload efficiently by storing heavier items over the axle.
- Regularly clean the vertical front infinity window with non-abrasive materials to maintain clarity.
- Test the AL-KO ATC system during every hitch-up to ensure towing stability is active.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Neglecting to program the Alde system, which can lead to inefficient energy use during winter.
- Forgetting to check the clearance of the 2.61m height when entering restricted sites.
Worth knowing: Always use a calibrated noseweight gauge as the front lounge layout can affect weight distribution. Ensure the 120kg payload is not exceeded when fitting heavy accessories like motor movers.
