Bailey Orion           Alu-Tech Body Shell Construction

The Alu-Tech body shell construction system is the most significant development in caravan production technology for over thirty years

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.

Features and Benefits of the Alu-Tech Body Shell to the Bailey Orion Range


Weatherproof Shell - Keeping You Warm

Body shell panels are up to 30% thicker than those used in conventional caravans and feature a high density polystyrene core to provide the shell with superior thermal insulation properties - allowing you to holiday all year round.

Through the use of thermal imaging equipment Bailey has identified the traditional cold spots in a caravan, such as the front dome and the wheel box area and supplemented the insulation in these areas to provide an even temperature through out the caravan.

Weatherproof Shell - Keeping You Dry

The Aluminium extrusion external framework is clamped into position from the inside and as a result there is a 90% reduction in the number of external fixing points significantly reducing the opportunity for water ingress.

Using a five-part as opposed to the traditional nine-part body shell assembly has reduced the number of seams in the body shell which again reduces the opportunity for water ingress.

To minimise the potential damage water may cause all upper body shell panels are now built using a totally timber-free construction for long lasting durability.

Stonger Shell - Keeping You Protected

The structural aluminium external framework holds the fully bonded five-part panel assembly in situ to create a super-strong shell - strong enough to support the weight of a family saloon car.

Stable Shell - Keeping You safe

Featuring a design that concentrates a greater percentage of the weight in the centre Alu-Tech caravans are inherently more stable ensuring they remain safe on the road.

The single span front and roof panel creates an aerodynamic profile that is not only assists stability but also assists with improving the fuel efficiency of the tow vehicle making it a more economic caravan to own.

Lighter Shell - Keeping The Technology Accessible

In addition to all these other benefits the Alu-Tech body shell is actually 25kgs lighter than the classic construction equivalent - keeping this ground-breaking technology accessible to a wider audience.
