Bailey Olympus               Product Development To bring a product as advanced as Olympus to market it has been necessary to implement the most comprehensive test and validation programme ever undertaken for a new touring caravan. For over two years, the Bailey Development Team has subjected Alu-Tech biult caravans to a series of accelerated life tests to enhance their structural durability and thermal capabilities at the Millbrook Proving Ground - the first choice facility of the global automotive industry. Additional research carried out by The University of Bath, the leading independent authority in the field of towing dynamics, into body shell strength and stability has ensured that every aspect of the design has been thoroughly evaluated. The result is a caravan that is a triumph of engineering and technological advancement. A product that is so unique that it has necessitated the commissioning of over one hundred bespoke tools to build it, with a design so advanced that it has five new patents pending.

Bailey Olympus                All Weather Caravan The new Bailey Olympus, featuring the Alu-Tech body shell, allows you to holiday all year round - whatever the weather. Thicker body shell panels, featuring superior grade polystyrene, plus extra insulation to pipe runs and wheel boxes means the thermal properties of this vehicle are greatly enhanced. As a result Pegasus becomes the first UK caravan to achieve the Grade III Classification of Thermal Insulation for EN1645-I, keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer, as well as making your caravan more economical to own. Engineered to ensure it remains weatherproof and structurally sound the Alu-Tech body shell sets new standards in durability. A new design interlocking external framework helps reduce the number of external joints and fixing points by 90%, thus minimising the number of potential water access points and improving the overall integrity of the protective shell. While timber free body shell panels, featuring a composite plastic internal skeleton and low absorbency buffer zones surrounding windows and doors, offer a second line of defence limiting the impact any possible ingress may cause. So confident are Bailey of the performance of this new shell that it comes supplied with a market leading ten year integrity guarantee - thus providing you with additional piece of mind by protecting your investment.

Bailey Olympus             Comfort and Practicality Innovation does not stop at the entrance door either. The first thing you will notice when you step inside an Olympus is the feeling of extra space. This is created by an increase in internal headroom which is now, thanks to the flat panel roof construction, a market leading 1.96m (6ft 5in) throughout the length of the caravan. A suite of floating fascia overhead lockers, with sturdy structural dividers, makes practical use of this additional height by maximising the high level storage capacity available. Floating Fascia Overhead Storage Lockers The unique Alu-Tech body shell profile also produces extra room at the front of the caravan resulting in a more spacious lounge, featuring a window shelf wide enough to become a dedicated television station. Packed with home comforts Olympus provides you with everything you will need for a relaxing holiday. Well equipped kitchens feature a built in microwave, a spacious Thetford 107 litre refrigerator plus a re-engineered Spinflo 4-burner gas hob and large capacity sink as standard. Entertainment systems are upgraded too with the inclusion of a branded stereo Radio/CD/MP3 player with iPod connectivity, complete with dual cone speakers for superior sound quality. Models are available in a choice of two contrasting soft furnishing schemes in a wrap around configuration and come supplied with a full compliment of arm rests and scatters. While superior quality cushion construction and fully sprung base supports ensures that this caravan is every bit as comfortable as it looks. Contemporary furniture designs in the Bailey 'Pear' finish are enhanced with the introduction of new high gloss worktop laminates and premium quality fixtures and fittings in matt nickel. This stylish interior is shown to its best advantage by clear canopy maxi and mini Heki rooflights by day and a battery friendly low voltage LED lighting system by night. In short, Olympus has it all and thanks to the Bailey trademark value for money package, it is now available for considerably less than you might think.
