Bailey’s 2026 releases have debuted at the Motorhome and Caravan Show at the NEC this week (14th-19th October).
Earlier in the summer, the Bristol-based company unveiled its new Black Edition Phoenix and Pegasus ranges, which both come with smart silver side panels and black alloy wheels as standard for an eye-catching look.
Models on the Bailey stand include the Pegasus Black Edition Portifino, a tourer with an OTR show price of £30,444. The front lounge can be converted into either a double bed or twin singles, while at the rear of the caravan, a king-size island bed can be found, with twin wardrobes among the storage options provided.
The tourer could be a candidate for fans of caravanning off-grid, thanks to a Truma 130-watt solar panel, while other features include Truma Combi 4E heating, a Dometic 92-litre fridge, and a central washroom with a shower cubicle. The Portifino also comes with a redesigned rear partition door, which sees it double up as a door for the main washroom area.
The single-axle tourer has a shipping length of 7.35m, a width of 2.43m, an MTPLM of 1579kg, a MiRO of 1424kg, and a payload of 155kg.
The twin-axle Pegasus Black Edition Messina can also be seen on the Bailey stand, with the four-berth having an OTR show price of £33,493. The tourer has an MTPLM of 1712kg, a MiRO of 1552kg, and a payload of 160kg, while its shipping length is 7.91m and its width is 2.43m. Like the Portifino, the Messina comes with a 130-watt solar panel, which will be useful for powering a caravan off-grid.
With a front lounge and rear island bed layout, the tourer includes an L-shaped central kitchen (now seen in all 2026 Pegasus tourers, such as the Bailey Pegasus Black Edition Bologna) where a 137-litre Thetford fridge can be found. The van is also equipped for caravanning in winter, thanks to its Alu-Tech insulation and Truma Combi 6E heating.
Visitors can see the Bailey Phoenix Black Edition 640 too, another four-berth caravan. Like the Portifino, it comes with a rear island double bed and has the option of making up either twin singles or a double bed in the front lounge.
As standard, the 640, like the rest of the Phoenix Black range, comes with Echo upholstery. The 640 also features the redesigned rear partition door seen in the Portifino.
At the show, it has an OTR price of £26,643, an MTPLM of 1438kg, a MiRO of 1276kg and a payload of 162kg, as well as a shipping length of 7.35m and a width of 2.17m.
Other brands to be showcasing new tourers include Coachman. The Hull-based manufacturer has debuted the UK’s first 8ft-wide two-berth caravan at the Motorhome and Caravan Show. The Laser 480 Xtra comes with an end washroom and offers plenty of space for the two of you.
