Campervans are simply a van with the interior converted into a living space. In contrast, motorhomes have had a purpose-built living area added onto the chassis behind the cab.

Bailey use Ford as the base vehicle for our campervans and motorhomes. The living space on our motorhomes is constructed using our Alu-Tech bodyshell.

All our campervans and motorhomes have seating that converts into a large double bed, a cooker and fridge, a kitchen unit, cupboards and a kitchen sink, and all come with a washroom that includes a shower, sink and toilet.

Motorhomes are also generally bigger than campervans but Bailey also offers a narrower motorhome in the Alora range, so there really is something for everyone regardless of the type and size of vehicle you want to choose.

Some of the best things to consider are:

• Budget
• How many people you want to travel and sleep in the motorhome
• How much storage space you will need for what you like to take with you
• What kind of layout you want
• How often you will use it
• Where you want to go
• Where you will store it when it’s not in use

A good place to start is by asking yourself these questions and then building on the details from there.

If you are completely new to this style of holiday, your local Bailey Retailer can help you find the vehicle that might be right for you.

Bailey’s current range is the Endeavour and prices range from £69,999 – £74,999.

Owners who regularly use their vehicle may expect a lifespan of around 200,000 miles. That being said, you could it’s lifespan up to 300,000 miles, on average, depending on driving conditions and how well it is maintained.

This type of vehicle gives you the freedom to travel where and when you want, with all the comforts of home included. In a Bailey campervan you have a living space, kitchen and a washroom as standard so have everything you need to hit the road.

The current Endeavour range has a choice of two or four berths, and the B64 includes a pop-top which means more space.

With one of these vehicles you can travel independently to other countries and see more of the country that you may be able to when staying in hotels.

Bailey Endeavours are equipped with heating systems, water tanks and a roof mounted solar panel, so you can comfortably explore remote locations off-grid.

The Bailey Endeavour range has been cold chamber tested to -15 degrees centigrade and maintained a temperature of over 20 degrees centigrade inside. You can find out more about this testing here

Some of the basic ongoing costs are:

• Insurance
• Fuel
• Annual servicing for the engine, running gear and living space
• Buying and replacing equipment and accessories such as toilet chemicals, kitchen equipment, bedding, cleaning supplies and camping furniture

A lot depends on when you passed your test. If your licence was issued before 1^st January 1997, then you can generally drive a heavier vehicle than if you passed after this.

However, most people will be able to drive a vehicle of 3500kg and under and the Bailey Endeavour range all come in at 3500kg. Check your licence for your own maximum weight and any other restrictions.

The Caravan and Motorhome Club have a good page on what licence you need to drive different motorhomes here

It really depends on your needs, who’s travelling with you, and what you’ll use the vehicle for. Think about who will join you, what you need to bring, and how much space you need inside.

In our Bailey Endeavour range, we currently offer two different layouts – the B62 and B64. Both have flexible lounges that turn into twin or double beds, and the B64 has a pop-top sleeping area. Both models come with a wind-out awning, Truma Diesel Combi heating, and a 100 watt solar panel.

It’s a good idea to talk to a local Bailey Retailer about your needs or you can also visit the Bailey stand at the NEC shows in February and October to see the campervans we offer in person.

Our Retailers also attend other shows throughout the year so there are plenty of chances to see the van you are interested in in person. Keep an eye on our News & Events page for upcoming events.

Our Bailey Endeavour B64 model is a great size for a family of four. It’s a modern vehicle designed for four people, with a pop-top sleeping area for two and a versatile lounge that can be turned into either a double bed or two single beds. It also comes with four travel seats.

In comparison, our other Endeavour model, the B62, accommodates two people and has two travel seats, so is a great option for couples who would prefer not to have the pop-top.
