2015 Bailey Approach Autograph Motorhome Range
Bailey refines its best-selling Approach Autograph motorhomes
Since its entry into the motorhome market three years ago Bailey of Bristol has
quickly established a reputation for building vehicles which provide the unique
combination of superior performance, award-winning design and unbeatable value
for money. The second generation Approach Autograph range has taken this
successful formula a stage further by broadening the overall appeal of our
motorhomes and thus making them an attractive proposition to a wider audience.
For the 2015 season all Autograph models will be built on the new-look Peugeot
Boxer graphite cab which, as well giving the vehicle a striking new appearance,
also contains a number of new practical features such as LED daytime running
lights and a DAB radio with Bluetooth connectivity. Every model is powered by a
2.2 Hdi 130 bhp Euro 5 engine complete with a 6-speed manual gearbox and also
has both cab air conditioning and engine cruise control as standard
specification.
The fully-equipped Peugeot cab is matched to a new ultra-low profile lightweight
AL-KO AMC chassis which, with its lower centre of gravity, provides a more
balanced weight distribution that improves road holding and braking efficiency.
Whilst the bodyshell built using the Bailey patented Alu-Tech construction
system, complete with a GRP outer skin and under floor protection, creates a
leisure vehicle which is more robust, more durable and yet lighter than those
manufactured using conventional methods to offer greater resistance against the
elements to keep owners comfortable, safe and secure all year round.
Safety considerations are evident in every aspect of the design with key
features, such as an ABS braking system, high performance Michelin tyres, twin
cab airbags all-being specified as standard, whilst fully approved three-point
seatbelts and frames are fitted to every dedicated rear passenger seat (model
specific). This combined with the enhanced protection provided by the high
performance Alu-Tech bodyshell and the re-enforced habitation area furniture,
developed following the completion of a simulated crash test programme, set
Bailey motorhomes apart from other products in terms of vehicle safety.
Model range
The 2015 Approach Autograph range will feature four existing layouts plus two
new additions:-
•Approach Autograph 540 - NEW
•Approach Autograph 625 - 2 berth low-line end-lounge
•Approach Autograph 740 - 4 berth low-line end-bedroom with fixed double bed
•Approach Autograph 745 - 4 berth low-line end-bedroom with fixed double bed &
designated travelling seats
•Approach Autograph 730 - NEW 4 berth low-line end-bedroom with transverse
island double bed
•Approach Autograph 765 - 6 berth low-line end-lounge with drop down double bed
& designated travelling seats
The Autograph 540 is a sub 6 metre long and 2.35 metre wide vehicle that shares
many of the practical advantages of a panel van conversion, such as ease of use
and lower running costs, but with the design flexibility and extra interior
space found in a coachbuilt motorhome. Inside this 3-berth model features a full
width end washroom, a central kitchen and a convertable front lounge with a drop
down double bed located above to provide everything you will need for anything
from a weekend break to an extended holiday.
In contrast the new Autograph 730 is a full-size 7.6 m long, four berth
coachbuilt vehicle designed specifically for long-distance touring. Built on a
3,500kg AL-KO chassis this spacious layout features a transverse double island
bed at the rear, a large central washroom, a fully-equipped kitchen, and a
parallel seat front lounge that can be converted to provide a second double bed
if required.
The introduction of these two new models means that the existing Autograph 750
and Compact 520 models will be discontinued for the 2015 season and that the
Approach Compact will cease to be marketed as a separate range.
In another exciting new development Bailey is pleased to announce that will be
introducing a completely new entry-level coach-built motorhome range called the
Approach Advance early in 2015. Aimed at the first-time motorhome buyer, the
Advance will share many of the unique features and characteristics of the
up-market Autograph range, not least exceptional value for money, to bring
something genuinely different to this market sector. Full details of the layouts
and prices will be revealed when the Approach Advance is launched in early 2015.
