Is the Bailey Autograph 72 2 a practical two-berth motorhome?
The Bailey Autograph 72 2 is a refined two-berth motorhome designed for couples who prioritise living space. Its standout feature is the spacious U-shaped rear lounge with triple-aspect windows, which provides a panoramic social area. Built with the Alu-Tech bodyshell and featuring Alde hydronic heating, it is well-equipped for all-season touring. With a 3500kg MTPLM, it is accessible to most UK drivers, though its 7.51m length requires careful manoeuvring.
- Two-berth capacity with a large U-shaped rear lounge layout.
- Built on a Peugeot Boxer 2.2 BlueHDi engine with an AL-KO low-profile chassis.
- Alu-Tech bodyshell construction designed for thermal insulation.
- Alde hydronic central heating and water heating system for year-round use.
- Kitchen equipped with a Thetford dual-fuel hob and a 134-litre Dometic refrigerator.
Worth knowing: The 3500kg MTPLM may result in a restrictive payload if many optional accessories are added. The rear lounge requires manual conversion into a double bed every night. A length of 7.51m can make parking in tight spots challenging.
Buying a Bailey Autograph 72 2
Who it suits
- Couples who want a dedicated, spacious lounging area rather than a fixed bed.
- Year-round tourers who require the efficiency of hydronic central heating.
- Drivers who prefer a low-profile silhouette for improved road handling.
Reasons to consider it
- The U-shaped lounge offers one of the most social layouts available in a two-berth.
- High-specification washroom includes a fully lined separate shower cubicle.
- The AL-KO AMC chassis provides a stable and refined driving platform.
What to check
- Verify the specific payload remaining if the vehicle has been fitted with aftermarket extras.
- Inspect the operation of the Alde heating system and check service records for fluid changes.
- Confirm the condition of the Alu-Tech seals and the Peugeot Boxer chassis service history.
Worth knowing: Payload is limited to 365kg, which must cover all passengers, water, and personal belongings. The 2.49m width is wider than some standard van conversions, requiring care on narrow roads.
Compare the Bailey Autograph 72 2 with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bailey Autograph 72 2 | 2 | 3500 kg | 7.51 m | £52,000 to £82,000 |
| Auto-Sleepers Winchcombe | 2 | 3880 kg | 7.33 m | £45,000 to £105,000 |
| Auto-Sleepers Kemerton Xl | 3 | 3500 kg | 6.97 m | £55,000 to £98,000 |
The Bailey Autograph 72 2 is a dedicated two-berth choice for those who value a large rear lounge and premium heating. While the Auto-Sleepers Winchcombe offers a higher payload capacity at 3880kg, the Bailey remains accessible to those with a standard B1 licence due to its 3500kg MTPLM. For buyers seeking a more compact footprint, the Auto-Trail Imala 615 or Auto-Sleepers Bourton Lp provide two-berth layouts at significantly shorter lengths, though they lack the expansive triple-aspect lounge found in the Autograph.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 134-litre tower refrigerator for extended off-grid trips.
- Make use of the Ecocamel shower head to manage water consumption when not on a serviced pitch.
- Monitor the slate-grey worktops and LED lighting to maintain the premium interior aesthetic.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming the 3500kg MTPLM allows for unlimited heavy accessories like solar panels and bike racks without impacting legal weight limits.
- Neglecting to account for the time required to convert the rear lounge into a bed each evening.
Worth knowing: The 7.51m length may exceed standard parking bay dimensions. Ensure the 365kg payload is not exceeded when packing for long trips.
