    Last updated: 10 August 2026Reviewed by RoamWorthy Editorial Team

    A versatile six-berth family motorhome on a standard licence.

    The Bailey Edge 486 is a 7.39m motorhome designed for large families, offering six berths and six travel seats. It is built using Alu-Tech construction on a Peugeot Boxer chassis. With an MTPLM of 3500kg, it can be driven on a standard UK Category B licence while providing a dual-lounge layout and a 534kg payload.

    • Six-berth capacity with six designated travel seats for large families.
    • Dual-lounge layout featuring a U-shaped rear lounge and front dinette.
    • Built on a Peugeot Boxer 2.2 BlueHDi 140bhp chassis.
    • Alu-Tech bodyshell construction with Grade III thermal insulation.
    • Kitchen equipped with a Thetford Triplex cooker and 3-burner hob.

    Worth knowing: The over-cab profile may increase fuel consumption compared to low-profile alternatives. A length of 7.39m requires careful manoeuvring in standard parking spaces. Daily conversion of lounges into beds may be time-consuming for some users.

    Buying a Bailey Edge 486

    Who it suits

    • • Large families requiring six travel seats and six sleeping berths.
    • • Drivers with a standard Category B licence seeking a high-capacity vehicle.
    • • Tourists planning year-round trips who value Grade III thermal insulation.

    Reasons to consider it

    • • It offers a high payload of 534kg for a 3500kg motorhome.
    • • The dual living zones allow for independent relaxation areas.
    • • The over-cab bed preserves floor space in the main living area.

    What to check

    • • Inspect the Alu-Tech bodyshell seals for integrity to maintain thermal performance.
    • • Test the operation of the Thetford Triplex cooker and all kitchen appliances.
    • • Ensure the U-shaped rear lounge cushions are in good condition for bed conversion.

    Worth knowing: Confirm the specific model year as specifications and trim levels can vary. Check the condition of the over-cab bed safety net and mattress. Verify the service history of the Peugeot 140bhp engine and Truma heating system.

    Compare the Bailey Edge 486 Motorhome with similar models

    ModelBerthsMaximum weightLengthTypical price
    Bailey Edge 486 Motorhome63500 kg7.39 m£48,000 to £68,000
    Auto-Trail Imala 73063500 kg7.25 m£45,000 to £80,000
    Benimar Tessoro63500 kg7.42 m£45,000 to £85,000

    The Bailey Edge 486 sits in a competitive segment of 3500kg six-berth motorhomes. While it shares the same weight limit as the Auto-Trail Imala 730 and Benimar Tessoro, its 7.39m length and specific dual-lounge layout distinguish it. It provides a balance between a high 534kg payload and the convenience of being driven on a standard car licence, though buyers must weigh the spaciousness of the over-cab design against the potential for higher fuel consumption compared to low-profile models.

    Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.

    Ownership and Maintenance Tips

    • Utilise the dual-lounge layout to separate social activities from quiet zones.
    • Regularly check the Truma Combi 4E system to ensure efficient winter heating.
    • Make use of the 534kg payload to carry essential family gear for six people.

    Common mistakes to avoid

    • • Exceeding the 3500kg MTPLM by over-loading the 534kg payload capacity.
    • • Neglecting to check the clearance of the 7.39m length when reversing.

    Worth knowing: Always verify the exact payload remaining after adding personal equipment and water. Be mindful of the 3.1m height when navigating routes with low bridges.
