A versatile 4-berth motorhome with a drop-down bed and AL-KO chassis.
The Bailey Approach 640 is a 4-berth motorhome from the Approach Advance range, measuring 7.38m in length. It features a front lounge, an electronic drop-down ceiling bed, and a large end washroom. With a 3500kg MTPLM and a 450kg payload, it is designed for accessibility on a standard UK driving licence while utilising Alu-Tech construction and an AL-KO AMC chassis for stability.
- 4-berth capacity with a front lounge and drop-down bed system.
- Built on the AL-KO AMC chassis for a low centre of gravity.
- 3500kg MTPLM allows for standard driving licence use.
- Spacious end washroom featuring a separate shower.
- Kitchen equipped with Thetford appliances and a 3-burner gas hob.
Worth knowing: The drop-down bed can restrict access to the lounge area when in use. Payload capacity of 450kg may become limited if carrying four passengers and full equipment.
Buying a Bailey Approach 640
Who it suits
- • Families or couples who require a 4-berth layout without exceeding the 3500kg weight limit.
- • Drivers who prefer the handling characteristics of a low centre of gravity chassis.
Reasons to consider it
- • The combination of a front lounge and drop-down bed maximises daytime floor space.
- • The end washroom provides a dedicated dressing and shower area separate from the living space.
- • Alu-Tech construction offers a recognised approach to build quality and insulation.
What to check
- • Test the electronic operation of the drop-down ceiling bed.
- • Inspect the condition of the Alu-Tech body shell and AL-KO AMC chassis.
- • Verify the functionality of the Thetford oven and 3-burner hob.
- • Check the age and condition of the premium brand tyres and the floor-mounted spare wheel.
Worth knowing: Confirm the specific model year as production ended in 2018. Assess if the 450kg payload is sufficient for your specific touring requirements when four people are travelling.
Compare the Bailey Approach 640 with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bailey Approach 640 | 4 | 3500 kg | 7.38 m | £38,000 to £52,000 |
| Elnagh Baron 530 | 4 | 3500 kg | 7.41 m | £42,000 to £68,000 |
| Auto-Trail Imala 736 | 4 | 3500 kg | 7.37 m | £40,000 to £75,000 |
The Bailey Approach 640 sits in a competitive 4-berth segment alongside models like the Elddis Autoquest 185 and Auto-Trail Imala 736. While all these models share a 3500kg MTPLM, the Bailey distinguishes itself with the use of the AL-KO AMC chassis and a specific drop-down bed configuration. Its 7.38m length is comparable to the 7.37m of the Imala 736 and the 7.34m of the Autoquest 185, making it a standard choice for those seeking a mid-sized coachbuilt motorhome.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the Ecocamel shower head to manage water consumption during off-grid stays.
- Regularly clean the Midi Heki roof lights to maintain natural light levels in the lounge.
- Monitor the 3500kg MTPLM if adding heavy accessories like bike racks or awnings.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Overloading the 450kg payload when travelling with a full complement of four passengers.
- • Attempting to use the lounge seating fully while the drop-down bed is in the lowered position.
Worth knowing: Ensure the wind-down spare wheel carrier is free from debris and fully functional.
