About the Bailey Olympus Series 1 462

The Bailey Olympus Series 1 462 is a sophisticated two-berth caravan designed specifically for couples who value space and luxury without the burden of a heavy twin-axle chassis.

Practicality is at the heart of the 462 layout, featuring a high-specification End Washroom that doubles as a private dressing area, complete with a separate shower cubicle. The kitchen is equally well-appointed, boasting a 107-litre Thetford refrigerator and a domestic-style Spinflo oven, making it perfect for those who enjoy cooking while on the road. With its manageable MTPLM of 1263kg, it remains an accessible choice for a wide variety of mid-sized tow cars. Explore the best deals on Bailey caravans and more on RoamWorthy.
