We manufacture leisure vehicles which are up to 75% recyclable at end-of-life*
In addition to being built to be sustainable our leisure vehicles are also specified to enhance the enjoyment of the great outdoors whilst reducing their impact upon it. Market-leading thermal insulation levels, courtesy of the Alu-Tech bodyshell, combine with efficient modern heating systems to allow people to use their vehicles all-year round but minimizing the amount of power required to do so. All of our motorhomes & most of our caravans come with a solar panel fitted as standard, while motorhomes also have their own premium brand leisure battery to provide greater capacity for off-grid adventures.
Commercially it makes sense to manufacture products that are as light as possible to ensure they are available to widest potential audience based upon the driving licence they hold and, in the case of caravans, the tow vehicle they own. The less a vehicle weighs the better too it is for the environment through the resulting reduction in engine emissions. At Bailey we have led the way in this area with a weight reduction programme that makes our products some of the lightest currently available, thus optimizing fuel efficiency to make them more environmentally friendly as well as more economical to own.

Taking things to the next level, in 2023 Bailey developed Endeavour EV, a fully operational concept campervan developed in partnership with Ford Pro.
The concept vehicle is based upon Ford’s E-Transit platform and has been designed with sustainability in mind. For example, all services and appliances in the Endeavour EV are fully electric, meaning no fossil fuels are required to power the motorhome when in use.
Introduced for the first time at the Motorhome and Caravan Show in October 2023, participation in this project is part of Bailey’s road map to become a NetZero business by 2050.
