In what way was this a review? It was nothing more than an overview of 'this is here' and 'that is there'. I still cannot fathom why Bailey et al are not putting a USB port on the chests below the wardrobe on either side of the bed for overnight charging. Preferably, wireless charging as most phones these days are capable of doing so and these also often include a socket as well. I think many people use their phones as their wake-up alarm clock and whilst that may be switched off for the bulk of the holiday, the last day will likely see it being switched on again to make an early start and check-out and get back on the road. Bailey's 110w solar panel is utterly inadequate. There should at least be an option to add more panels. A solar panel never delivers as much as it is rated for. The Camping and Caravanning Club are doing no one other than the manufacturers' a favour by regurgitating the sales brochure. Why aren't you talking about such things as departure angles? These long caravans are great, but they come with the downside that you are likely to scrape the rear end on entry to sites with steep slopes. If you are going to do a review, pull your socks up and do a proper one. Not one that puts you in a good light with sponsors. I.e. the manufacturer.

You say nothing about build quality. We met owners of a Bailey Unicorn on site recently and they said they have had numerous problems with windows dropping and other bits falling off. The caravan industry needs a wake up call. It is just not good enough.

Looked at the 2025 unicorns recently, disappointed in the build quality, looked at a 2024 model, much better.
