Spacious Six-Berth Family Touring
The Bailey Autograph 81-6 Series 3 is a substantial 8.12m motorhome designed for large families, offering six berths and a versatile twin-lounge layout. Built between 2019 and 2024, it features a 4250kg MTPLM and a generous 798kg payload, supported by a Peugeot 165bhp engine and Alde wet heating.
- Six-berth capacity with a rear U-shaped lounge and front dinette layout.

- • Dual lounge areas offer distinct zones for children and adults.
- • High-specification kitchen with a massive 153-litre fridge freezer.
What to check
- • Check the service history of the Peugeot 2.2 BlueHDi engine.
- • Inspect the through-boot exterior storage locker for seal integrity.
- • Test the drop-down bed mechanism above the front dinette.

The Bailey Autograph 81-6 Series 3 occupies a specific niche for families needing maximum internal volume and six berths. While the Swift Kon-Tiki 874 offers a higher 5000kg MTPLM for even greater weight capacity, the Bailey provides a balanced 798kg payload at a 4250kg limit. Compared to the Autograph 79-6, this 81-6 model offers more length and a higher weight ceiling, making it better suited for those who prioritise space over licence flexibility.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the through-boot storage for heavy items to maintain the low centre of gravity provided by the AL-KO chassis.
- Monitor the Alde radiator fluid levels as part of your annual habitation service.
- Use the integrated Dometic reversing camera when manoeuvring the 8.12m body.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Attempting to drive on a standard B category licence without the C1 entitlement.
- • Underestimating the 2.49m width when navigating narrow rural lanes.
Worth knowing: Always verify the exact payload remaining after adding personal equipment and water.
