Over the past twelve months Bailey has been working on modifying the Alu-Tech system using the latest 3-D modelling computer software to specifically suit the needs of a motor home. The resulting vehicles have then been subjected to a series of accelerated life and structural tests as well as being given a thorough examination in a climate control chamber at the internationally renowned Millbrook Proving Ground to ensure that every aspect of the new designs have been thoroughly evaluated.

Bailey motor homes will be coach-built using the same high performance Alu-Tech construction system used in our existing touring caravan ranges. The result of one of the most comprehensive product design programmes the industry has ever known, the Alu-Tech construction system is seen by many as one of the most significant developments in leisure vehicle production technology for over thirty years.

The result is a vehicle that is a triumph of engineering and technological advancement that offers real advantages of ownership in terms of performance and longevity. Most notably these include:-

GRADE III THERMAL CLASSIFICATION

Thicker body shell panels featuring superior grade polystyrene, plus additional localised insulation in traditional cold spot areas have greatly enhanced the thermal properties of the caravan. As a result all motor homes built using the Alu-Tech construction system have achieved the Grade III Classification of Thermal Insulation for EN1646-I*, keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer, as well as making your vehicle more economical to own.

TEN YEAR BODY SHELL INTEGRITY GUARANTEE

Engineered to ensure it remains weatherproof and structurally sound, the Alu-Tech body shell sets new standards in durability. Starting with an interlocking aluminium framework that cuts the number of external joints and fixing points by 90%, every conceivable effort has been made to reduce the number of potential water access points and thus improve the overall integrity of the protective shell. While timber free body shell panels featuring a composite plastic internal skeleton offers a second line of defence, limiting the impact any possible ingress may cause.

The bodyshell assembly, including the interface sections between cab and habitation area, consists solely of fully laminated panels cloaked in a GRP outer skin enhancing both the strength, durability and rigidity of the structure.

Designed to be driven, Approach SE is powered by the Peugeot 2.2 Hdi 130 bhp engine complete with a 6-speed manual gearbox. All models will be built on the new Euro 5 base and will thus benefit from the resulting improvements in performance and reduction in vehicle emissions. This is complemented by the luxury lightweight AL-KO AMC chassis which, with its lower centre of gravity, provides a more balanced weight distribution that improves road holding and braking efficiency as well as allowing increases in user payloads.

Driver and passenger comfort whilst en-route is catered for with a pair of fully adjustable front swivel seats with twin arm rests, cab air conditioning and engine cruise control all included as standard.

Once at your chosen destination the Approach SE provides you with a light and spacious habitation area, with an internal headroom of 1.96m and a body width of 2.34m, which are beautifully showcased by large PolyClassic windows, complete with pleated cassette blinds,and clear canopy Heki roof lights throughout. This space is then expertly managed to ensure storage capacity and accessibility is optimised in all areas of the motor home making Approach SE as practical as it is comfortable.
