Founded in 1948, Bailey of Bristol is the longest established UK independent manufacturer with 75 years of experience in caravan production and design. During this period our family-owned business has grown to become not only the UK’s number one caravan brand accounting for approximately one-in-three new caravan sales, but also one of the largest in Europe. More recently, in 2011, the company has brought this same level of expertise to the motorhome market, as well as expanding to new export markets in Australia, New Zealand and South Korea.
In 2009, the company introduced the Alu-Tech body shell construction system, which is seen by most observers as the most significant development in leisure vehicle production technology for three decades. Providing genuine design innovation, this fully patented technology means that Bailey leisure vehicles are now some of the best-engineered and the most technically advanced products on the market which keep owners comfortable, safe and secure, no matter how tough the conditions. To date approaching 75,000 Bailey leisure vehicles have been built with this groundbreaking technology and are currently being used around the world.
