| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bailey Autograph 79-2F Series 3 | 4 | 3850 kg | 7.93 m | £78,000 to £96,500 |

The Bailey Autograph 79-2F Series 3 sits in the premium bracket of the UK market, priced between 78000 and 96500. While it shares the 3850kg MTPLM and 4-berth capacity of its sibling, the 79-4, it distinguishes itself with a fixed French bed layout. Compared to continental rivals like the Mobilvetta K Yacht or Adria Coral Supreme, the Bailey offers a longer 7.93m footprint and a higher payload of 727kg, though the continental alternatives often sit on lighter 3650kg chassis. The choice between these models typically rests on the preference for the specific French bed layout versus the shorter lengths or different licence requirements of competitors.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Operation Tips
- Utilise the 727kg payload to carry heavy outdoor gear, as the AL-KO chassis is designed for stability.
- Make use of the pre-wired 4G WiFi installation to simplify setting up a mobile office or entertainment hub.
- Ensure the bi-fold shower door is secured correctly before transit to protect the fully lined cubicle.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Attempting to park in standard car-sized bays without accounting for the 7.93m length.
- Overlooking the C1 licence requirement when planning for multiple drivers.
Worth knowing: Payload capacity can be quickly reduced by adding heavy optional extras like awnings or bike racks.
