A versatile 7.48m motorhome with dual living zones.
The Bailey Adamo XL DL is a 7.48m motorhome designed for flexibility, featuring a distinctive double lounge layout and dual electric drop-down beds. Built on a Ford Transit chassis with an automatic transmission as standard, it accommodates four to five berths within a 3500kg MTPLM. Its Alu-Tech construction and Truma Combi 4E heating support year-round touring, while the rear garage provides dedicated storage for bulky equipment.
- Unique double lounge configuration with front and rear living areas.
- Dual electric drop-down beds to maximise daytime floor space.
- Built on a Ford Transit chassis with a 160bhp engine and automatic gearbox.
- Alu-Tech timberless bodyshell construction for four-season use.
- Flexi-lounge including two Aguti fold-out travel seats.
Worth knowing: The 356kg payload is modest when travelling with five occupants. Electric bed mechanisms require a reliable power source and operate slower than fixed beds. Rear lounge views are partially obstructed by the garage compartment.
Buying a Bailey Adamo XL DL
Who it suits
- Families who require separate living zones for children and adults.
- Drivers who prefer the car-like feel of a Ford automatic transmission.
- Year-round tourers who benefit from timberless construction and 4E heating.
Reasons to consider it
- The double lounge layout provides two distinct social areas in a 7.48m footprint.
- Standard 160bhp engine and automatic gearbox simplify long-distance driving.
- The rear garage offers practical storage that is often missing in lounge-heavy layouts.
What to check
- Confirm the exact berth count for your specific year, as it ranges between four and five.
- Test the operation of both electric drop-down beds to ensure smooth movement.
- Verify the remaining payload after accounting for passengers and essential water.
- Inspect the Aguti fold-out seats to ensure they meet your travel requirements.
Worth knowing: The 3500kg MTPLM is convenient for standard UK licences but requires careful management of the 356kg payload. The garage structure impacts the internal height and external views from the rear lounge.
Compare the Bailey Adamo Xl Dl with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bailey Adamo Xl Dl | 5 | 3500 kg | 7.48 m | £58,000 to £77,500 |
| Bailey Adamo 75 4t | 4 | 3500 kg | 7.49 m | £60,000 to £80,000 |
| Auto-Trail F Line F72 | 5 | 3500 kg | 7.32 m | £58,000 to £76,000 |
The Bailey Adamo XL DL sits in a competitive mid-range market, priced between 58000 and 77500. It distinguishes itself from the Adamo 75-4T and 75-4I through its double lounge configuration rather than fixed twin or island beds. While it shares the 3500kg MTPLM common to the Swift Escape 684 and Auto-Trail F-Line F72, its use of dual electric drop-down beds offers a different approach to space management. Buyers must weigh the convenience of the automatic Ford chassis against the relatively modest 356kg payload when compared to smaller five-berth alternatives.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 7.48m length carefully when navigating narrow coastal roads.
- Regularly check the Alu-Tech bodyshell seals as part of the annual service to maintain the structural warranty.
- Ensure the Thetford K-Series oven is secured correctly before transit to prevent rattles.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Attempting to operate electric beds without sufficient battery charge or hook-up power.
- Overloading the rear garage, which can negatively impact the 356kg total payload.
Worth knowing: Payload limits are tight for a five-person crew; consider weighing the vehicle when fully loaded.
Alternatives to the Bailey Adamo Xl Dl
- Bailey Adamo 75 4t - A similarly sized model worth comparing on layout, weight and price.
- Auto-Trail F Line F72 - For those requiring five berths in a shorter 7.32m body, the F-Line F72 provides a compact alternative on the same 3500kg MTPLM.
- Swift Escape 684 140BHP Auto - The Escape 684 offers a five-berth capacity within a 7.41m length, providing a different layout configuration for similar budgets.
