    French Bed (Corner Bed) Motorhomes

    Last updated: 13 August 2026Reviewed by RoamWorthy Editorial Team

    Is the Bailey Approach Autograph 740 a practical four berth motorhome?

    The Bailey Approach Autograph 740 is a 7.45 metre low-profile motorhome designed for four people. It features a fixed French bed and a front lounge, built using the Alu-Tech bodyshell on a Peugeot Boxer chassis. With a 3500kg MTPLM, it is accessible to most UK driving licence holders while offering a 458kg payload. Prices typically range from 38000 to 58000 depending on condition and age.

    • Fixed French bed layout with a premium foam mattress.
    • Alu-Tech bodyshell construction for enhanced insulation.
    • Alde hydronic central heating system for year-round use.
    • Peugeot Boxer 2.2 HDi engine on an AL-KO AMC chassis.
    • Spacious front lounge with swivel cab seats.

    Worth knowing: The 7.45 metre length may exceed standard parking bay dimensions. The French bed configuration requires one occupant to climb over the other for access. Kitchen worktop space is restricted when the hob is being used.

    Buying a Bailey Approach Autograph 740

    Who it suits

    • • Couples seeking a permanent bed without sacrificing a social lounge area.
    • • Tourists requiring a 3500kg MTPLM to avoid licence restrictions.
    • • Year-round motorhomers who benefit from hydronic central heating.

    Reasons to consider it

    • • High specification including a separate shower cubicle and large fridge-freezer.
    • • Generous 458kg payload for a 3500kg vehicle.
    • • Stable driving characteristics provided by the AL-KO AMC chassis extension.

    What to check

    • • Verify the service history of the Peugeot 2.2 HDi engine.
    • • Check the operation of the Alde heating system and microwave.
    • • Inspect the Alu-Tech bodyshell seals for integrity.
    • • Confirm the condition of the fixed French bed mattress.

    Worth knowing: Production of this specific model range ended in 2016. The 2.42 metre width requires careful navigation on narrow routes.

    Compare the Bailey Approach Autograph 740 with similar models

    ModelBerthsMaximum weightLengthTypical price
    Bailey Approach Autograph 74043500 kg7.45 m£38,000 to £58,000
    Elnagh Baron 53043500 kg7.41 m£42,000 to £68,000
    Auto-Trail Imala 73643500 kg7.37 m£40,000 to £75,000

    The Bailey Approach Autograph 740 sits in a competitive segment alongside models like the Elddis Majestic 185 and Auto-Trail Tracker Rb. While the Bailey is noted for its Alu-Tech construction and Alde heating, its 7.45 metre length is longer than the Elddis alternatives but shorter than the Tracker Rb. All these models share a 3500kg MTPLM, making the choice dependent on specific layout preferences such as the French bed versus the island or twin bed configurations found in rivals.

    Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.

    Ownership and Maintenance Tips

    • Utilise the 458kg payload for extended European tours.
    • Regularly test the Alde heating fluid levels to maintain efficiency.
    • Make use of the swivel cab seats to maximise the front lounge space.

    Common mistakes to avoid

    • • Underestimating the 2.79 metre height when approaching low bridges.
    • • Forgetting the 7.45 metre length when planning urban routes.

    Worth knowing: Payload must be managed carefully when four people are travelling.
