The Bailey Autograph 74 4 is a 7.51m low-profile motorhome designed for four people, featuring a fixed rear French bed and a front lounge with fold-out travel seats. It is built on a Peugeot Boxer chassis with an AL-KO AMC ultra-low profile frame and uses the Alu-Tech bodyshell system.

| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bailey Autograph 74 4 | 4 | 3500 kg | 7.51 m | £52,000 to £83,000 |

The Bailey Autograph 74 4 sits in a competitive segment alongside models like the Benimar Tessoro T840 and Elddis Evolution 194. While all these models share a 3500kg MTPLM and four-berth capacity, the Bailey distinguishes itself with the 165bhp Peugeot engine and Alu-Tech construction. Its 7.51m length is slightly greater than the 7.34m Elddis or 7.39m Benimar, which may influence handling in tight environments, but it offers a specific French bed and front lounge configuration that balances fixed sleeping quarters with social space.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the external BBQ point to preserve the interior kitchen during summer.
- Monitor the Truma Combi 6E settings to optimise energy use between gas and electric.
- Regularly inspect the Alu-Tech body seals as part of the annual service schedule.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Exceeding the 396kg payload by installing heavy accessories without weighing the vehicle.
- Forgetting to secure the fold-out travel seats before transit.
Worth knowing: The 2.49m width is wider than some standard van conversions; plan routes accordingly.
