Bailey Adamo 69-4 claims top prize in Motorhome & Campervan Design Awards 2023 Competition
The competition, run by The Caravan and Motorhome Club, is now in its 24th year and attracted over sixty-four entrants this time round. All vehicles were assessed by an independent panel of judges on a wide range of criteria covering comfort, practicality and safety. Although the motorhomes were not driven they were also still evaluated for key driving essentials such as driver ergonomics and passenger safety.
The Adamo 69-4 is a sub 7 metre motorhome with an MPTLM of 3,500kgs making it suitable to drive by anyone holding a full UK driving licence, without the need for a B + E entitlement. Built upon a ‘Metallic Silver’ Ford Transit cab and chassis platform powered by the latest 2.0 litre 170 bhp engine complete with automatic gearbox it has power and performance in abundance. Whilst a fully specified cab includes a host of features to enhance on-the-road comfort including air conditioning, cruise control and fully adjustable Captain’s seats with dual arm rests all as standard, while the factory-fit reversing camera with a mirror mounted viewing screen allows you to manoeuvre the motorhome with complete confidence.
As with all Bailey leisure vehicles Adamo models are built using our patented Alu-Tech construction technology, cloaked in a GRP outer skin, making them more robust, more durable and yet lighter than those manufactured using conventional methods to offer greater protection against the elements to keep you comfortable, safe and secure all year round. To date approaching 75,000 Bailey leisure vehicles have been built with this ground-breaking technology and are currently being used around the world.
Packed with intelligent interior design features, the Adamo 69-4 is the perfect mobile base from which to enjoy life’s adventures. At the front is of the vehicle is a versatile ‘Flexi-lounge’ which consists of twin parallel seats that can convert into Aguti travel seats to accommodate two extra passengers if required. These sit either side of a central floor mounted electric pedestal table large enough for four people to dine on in comfort. Above the lounge is three-position electrically operated drop-down double bed which creates additional living space during the day and provides flexible sleeping arrangements at night.
Moving further back is a fully-equipped kitchen featuring a Thetford ‘K-Series’ combination oven, grill and dual-fuel hob (with 3 gas burners & 1 electric hotplate) plus a Thetford 142 litre tower refrigerator, include everything you will need to create your favourite meals. Behind that is a spacious full width washroom with a large separate rectangular shower cubicle and spacious double door storage cupboard capable of accommodating even the largest of clothing wardrobes.
While at the rear of the vehicle is a sizeable garage storage space, complete with practical touches such as 230v and 12v power sockets, a blown air heating outlet and floor mounted lashing rings, which allows you to keep the outdoors separate from the indoors whilst on your travels.
Commenting on the receipt of this coveted award Bailey of Bristol Managing Director Nick Howard said:
“The receipt of this latest accolade from The Caravan and Motorhome Club is testimony to the fact that great design is timeless. Now in its third year of production the first Adamo range shows no sign of diminishing in popularity with people continuing to look for a high performance vehicle offering exceptional value in a choice of practical layouts”
Talking about the competition as a whole, Nick Lomas, Director General of the Caravan and Motorhome Club said:
“The Club extends its sincere congratulations to all the winners. Our thanks go to our industry colleagues for their continued support of these awards which provide an invaluable source of information and inspiration for people looking either start this leisure pursuit or change their vehicle”.
