Buying a Bailey Autograph 79 4 T
Who it suits
- Couples or small families who prefer fixed twin beds over making up lounges.
- Year-round tourers requiring domestic-style Alde radiator heating.
- Drivers comfortable with a vehicle length exceeding seven metres.
Reasons to consider it
- High 626kg payload allows for significant luggage and equipment.
- The 165bhp engine provides sufficient power for a vehicle of this size.
- Alu-Tech construction offers enhanced insulation and structural integrity.
What to check
- Verify the specific payload for any fitted optional equipment.

- Check the condition of the Thule Omnistor wind-out awning.

| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bailey Autograph 79 4 T | 4 | 3850 kg | 7.93 m | £64,000 to £92,000 |
| Bailey Autograph 79 4 | 4 | 3850 kg | 7.98 m | £55,000 to £80,000 |

The Bailey Autograph 79 4 T sits in a competitive segment of 7.9m motorhomes. While it offers a high 626kg payload and premium Alde heating, its 3850kg MTPLM requires a C1 licence, unlike the 3500kg Swift Voyager 594 or Bailey Adamo 75 4i. It provides a similar footprint to the Auto-Sleepers Burford but operates on a different chassis weight. The choice between these models typically depends on the driver's licence permissions and the preference for twin beds versus other rear configurations.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 100-watt solar panel to maintain battery health during off-grid stays.
- Monitor the 626kg payload when adding heavy accessories like bike racks.
- Ensure the central washroom seals are checked regularly to maintain the separate shower cubicle.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Exceeding the 3850kg MTPLM by over-loading the large rear garage.
- Failing to account for the 2.49m width on narrow rural roads.
Worth knowing: Always confirm the exact vehicle height of 2.71m before entering height-restricted areas.
