Is the Bailey Autograph 740 a capable four-season motorhome?
The Bailey Autograph 740 is a 7.37m low-profile motorhome designed for year-round use, featuring a French bed and rear washroom layout. Built on a Peugeot Boxer 180bhp automatic platform with an AL-KO chassis, it combines a 2.48m extra-wide body with Alde radiator heating and Grade III insulation. With a 3500kg MTPLM, it is accessible to standard UK driving licence holders while offering 2 to 4 berths.
- Peugeot Boxer 2.2L 180bhp engine with 8-speed automatic gearbox.
- Bespoke AL-KO low-profile AMC chassis and Alu-Tech bodyshell.
- Alde radiator central heating system with Grade III Thermal Insulation.
- Off-grid capability via a 200W Truma solar panel and twin 95 Ah AGM batteries.
- Internal kitchen featuring a Thetford 137L absorption tower fridge.
Worth knowing: The 2.48m width is wider than many standard coachbuilt models, requiring care in narrow spaces. A 395kg payload at the 3500kg MTPLM limit may be restrictive for four occupants with heavy equipment.
Buying a Bailey Autograph 740
Who it suits

- Winter tourers who require the Alde radiator heating system and Grade III insulation.
Reasons to consider it
- High-torque 180bhp engine paired with a modern 8-speed automatic transmission.
- Enhanced road stability provided by the bespoke AL-KO low-profile chassis.

What to check
- Verify the operation of the 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system.

- Check the service history of the 180bhp Peugeot engine and 8-speed gearbox.
- Ensure the 200W solar panel and twin battery system are functioning for off-grid use.
Worth knowing: Confirm the specific payload requirements for your intended use, as 395kg must cover all passengers and personal gear. The 2.48m width requires careful consideration for drivers frequently using rural or single-track roads.

The Bailey Autograph 740 sits at a price point between 65000 and 95000, offering a high-torque 180bhp Peugeot engine and AL-KO chassis as standard. While the Adamo 75 4i and 75-4DL offer similar 3500kg MTPLM ratings and 4-berth capacities, the Autograph 740 distinguishes itself with its 2.48m width and Alde radiator heating. The choice between these models often depends on whether the buyer prefers the specific French bed layout of the Autograph or the slightly longer 7.49m dimensions of the Adamo range.

Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 200W solar panel to maintain the twin 95 Ah AGM batteries during periods of storage.
- Regularly test the Alde heating system fluid levels to ensure consistent four-season performance.
- Monitor the 137L tower fridge seals to maintain cooling efficiency during summer tours.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Underestimating the 2.48m width when navigating narrow lanes or parking bays.
- Overloading the 395kg payload by not accounting for the weight of full water tanks or multiple passengers.
Worth knowing: The 3500kg MTPLM is a strict limit; exceeding this can have legal and insurance implications.
