FAQS
What are the best 4-berth caravans for families?
The best 4-berth caravans for families from Bailey of Bristol include models with layouts that help keep the space flexible like a front lounge, side dinette, and bunk beds. These caravans offer ample storage space and seating areas, making them ideal caravans for family adventures. The range includes options like fixed beds or single beds, catering to different needs.
How much does a 4-berth caravan typically weigh?
Bailey of Bristol’s 4-berth caravans range in weight, with MTPLMs from approximately 1,000kg to over 1,800kg. Lightweight options like the Phoenix range are easier to tow, while larger models with more features and storage space, like the Unicorn series, weigh more. Always check the specific model’s weight to match your tow vehicle.
What are the benefits of single vs. twin axle 4-berth caravans?
Single axle 4-berth caravans are lighter and easier to manoeuvre, ideal for smaller tow vehicles that host a lower number of berths. Twin axle models, like those in our Alicanto Grande range, provide increased stability, larger interiors, and better load distribution, making them ideal for longer trips or carrying more gear.
How to choose between different 4-berth caravan layouts?
Choose a 4-berth caravan layout based on your travel needs. Bailey of Bristol offers layouts with fixed beds, French beds, or convertible front lounges.
Consider if you need a side dinette, shaped lounge, or extra seating areas. For larger families, bunk beds and a spacious washroom can be key.
What tow vehicles are suitable for 4-berth caravans?
The tow vehicle you need depends on the weight of your 4-berth caravan. Bailey’s lightweight models like the Discovery or Phoenix GT75 are compatible with a broader range of cars.
Heavier models, such as those with twin axles, require a more powerful vehicle. Always check the towing capacity of your car against the caravan’s MTPLM.
What is the average length of a 4-berth caravan?
Bailey’s 4-berth caravans vary in length, typically ranging from around 5.9 meters to over 7.5 meters. Models with fixed beds or island beds, like the Unicorn series, are often longer, offering more living space and comfort. Shorter models, like those in the Discovery range, are more compact and easier to tow.
Are there lightweight 4-berth caravans under 1500kg?

These models feature efficient layouts with options like a front lounge, side dinette, and ample storage, making them ideal for towing with a wider range of vehicles while still providing comfort and space. The Discovery range is lighter still with the Discovery D4-2 coming in under 1,000kg.
What is the difference between fixed bed and convertible bed options in 4-berth caravans?
Fixed beds, like French or island beds, offer permanent sleeping areas, enhancing convenience and comfort.
