The Bailey Autograph Series 2 79-6 occupies a specific niche for large families, offering a full six-berth layout and six travel seats on a heavy 4250kg chassis. While its 7.99m length provides significant internal space and a generous 672kg payload, it requires a C1 licence, unlike the lighter Bailey Adamo. Compared to the Auto-Trail Apache, it offers a longer body, while the Autograph 81-6 provides a further increase in length. It remains a well-equipped option for those prioritising domestic-style heating and social lounge space over ease of parking.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 672kg payload carefully to maintain stability while carrying six passengers.
- Regularly check the Alu-Tech bodyshell seals to ensure long-term structural integrity.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Overlooking the C1 licence requirement for the 4250kg MTPLM.
- Underestimating the turning circle required for a vehicle of nearly 8 meters.
Worth knowing: The 2.78m height must be considered when approaching low bridges or height barriers.
