- Last year I was honoured to be invited for a factory tour at BAiley of Bristol caravans. I asked if I could fil and after some negotiation Bailey agreed and here is the result.
Bailey build their caravans and motorhomes in two facilities, this part shows the large panel plant on the outskirts of Bristol. On this particular day the production line was set up to build the Bailey Phoenix 640, and i followed one of the lines to see how the process works.

Facinating and as you say, mesmerising watching the cutter.
Nicely filmed.
Love our Bailey Unicorn Barcelona and very proud to be part of the Bailey owners family. Having said that, I think it is very impressive how these modern caravans are made and regardless of the brand of UK Caravan you own...it is pure British engineering! Thanks from NZ.
A very interesting video of how Caravans are made. Looking forward to the next part. Thanks Phil 👍
Brilliant video, really enjoyed watching that, looking forward to part II
Loved that Dan. Great insight. Looking forward to part two. Ian...
Insightful! Thanks for making this video!
Great video Dan, looking forward to the next one.
Very interesting Dan, looking forward to part 2
Upload notification just as I sat down with my morning Cappuccino, was a builder for 20+ years and now work in ecommerce but this is one job I have always fancied!
Brilliant video, makes you appreciate the work that goes into building these. Bring on part 2
Excellent video. Nice to see how my caravan was made. Thank you.
Hi, great video and to see the manufacturing side of a caravan and look forward to part 2. 👍
A Very interesting & informative video, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the build lines & part 2.
Really interesting video Dan, good to see how the van starts off it’s life. Looking forward to part 2. cheers Martin 🙂
Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to the next one!
Great video Dan. Looking forward to next one. Carl
Very interesting, looking forward to part 2
Great video Dan that was amazing to see. I think I will share this with our engineering teacher as I think the kids at school would be impressed with seeing this all happen.
Very interesting video Dan. Waiting for Part 2 now.
Great vid Dan, addictive viewing looking forward to next one 👍😀
Also sitting with cup of tea and get an upload notification. I'm a production manager on a 20 acre garden plant nursery. It's an interesting job, but the machinery is never as interesting as those routers! Looking forward to part 2 Dan.
Great video can't wait for the next episode
Great to see you again Dan hope your troubles are now well and truly behind you xxxx
Nice one dan nice to c how caravans r built look forward to part two cheers kev
What a absolute fantastic insight pal. Cheers
Absolutely fascinating, great video 👍
Very interesting vlog having bought a Bailey brindisi, looking forward to part two.
Fascinating. Thanks very much.
Great video Dan.
Just shared this to a big Australian Caravan Facebook page......hopefully you pick up a few more subscribers from Australia.....
Well done Dan very informative video 👍
Enjoyed that 🤗 esp as we have a new bailey unicorn valencia
Very interesting, great video
Nice video Dan, Thx .
Great video, good insite, thanks.
Fascinating.
Thanks Dan very informative👍🏻
Great film Dan. But still can’t match seeing it live. Baileys Owners Club are invited to the factory every other year to see for ourselves.
Good video I have 642 I know it's the model I have but nice to see how the caravans are made.
Thanks dan for a very interesting vidéo 😉
Dan, nice video, now I know why!!!!! Quality control....out for lunch!
I think the one I brought missed out on the quality control part, it went back to the dealer many times, and obviously the floor on mine wasn’t checked like that. No more Baileys and no more caravans for us
Interesting video Dan, it's nice to see how they are built from the ground up so to speak. It would be great if Swift, Elddis, Coachman, Lunar etc would also allow you to film their production lines, just to see the different construction methods for each manufacturer.
Hi Dan, once again an excellent video,....I recently had a tour of the Morgan car factory......It's a shame economics don't allow caravans to be constructed in the way these wonderful cars are made....looking forward to part two! Steve
What techy wouldn't want to watch a CNC router that big???? Great stuff Dan.
Great video Dan, very interesting seeing how it’s done, wish uk manufacturers would open more up to the public allowing them to see their vans being built, not uncommon in America
Very interesting insight - thanks :-)
I know Bailey have caravans out there with new floors they are testing out but you would have thought that they would have done it several years ago. I reckon the new 8ft unicorn will have some type of weatherproof floors this will put Bailey ahead of the market if the price is right. I’m looking forward to the next video Dan and thanks for sharing.
warrior 67. Like the Swift HT system?
I don't know what system or materials but I do know floors are been tested.
Great video, I didn’t realise the Australian panels are built in UK...in Australia there a big marketing push about the vans being built locally, I guess that means assembling only.
Great video, wonder if Bailey would consider selling the panels direct. Would love to do a self-build project.
Hi Dan, great video, my only concern is, if the waste is recycled for packing how big is the delivery box. I doubt my wheelie bins are big enough. 😉😆👍
And when it all goes wrong the dealers get out clause is that we’re a cottage industry I think not
Great film. Wonder why 26 thumbs down?
Good video Dan but it shows how vulnerable caravans are in an accident with some plastic plugs holding them together but they need to be light and we shouldn't be crashing them anyway lol
Clevedon the panels are made & of course winterstoke road BRISTOL, Main hub..........
Why cant they use fibre glass for their floors instead of wood? This would eliminate all damp and rot in their vans
What is the material of the inner skin.
A composite skin panel I believe
so everything is made in the UK
👍👍
while your there tell them how to stop them leaking
We have a 2020 Unicorn Black Edition Cadiz . We are pleased with it EXCEPT for the absolutely awful poor quality seating ( which i see they are improving in every range for 2021 EXCEPT THE UNICORN RANGE which will still have the same Honeycore TOTALLY UNSUPPORTIVE FOAM.)
After only 2 weeks we HAD TO PAY to replace the foam in a brand new van as we found out from our dealer that by returning under warranty its only changed for absolutely identical low grade foam the same as it was before . ( Phoenix upholstery made by a different firm and I believe much firmer which would have been better )
We had very painful bad backs after only a week away in our lovely new caravan.
Our dealer has been great but their hands are tied as they can only offer like for like replacement or advise us to pay ourselves!
Bailey will not speak to me , if you ring you are told that Customer services do not allow incoming calls , when you email you get a generic reply with a few changes in an attempt to placate us.
I have now started a Facebook group for Bailey owners with the same issue and in 48 hours we had around 300 members .
Lots saying they just dont use their caravans as they know they will suffer back pain ! What a sad state of affairs.
When our local upholsterer ( with an excellent reputation) took out the original foam he was absolutely shocked , he saved a piece to show me . He confirmed it has zero support quality and is full of holes .
I wish i could add photos, you could literally screw up the original seats in your hand as they are so thin .
We need help Dan, any chance you can get in touch ?
Our FB group is Bailey Caravans Upholstery Fight .
Thanks
Interesting how hi tech the process of making and cutting out the sides, it’s a shame they then fill them with poor quality locker doors etc that fall apart and leak !
In 2019 they use polystyrene an awful material.
is there a better alternative for same or better weight / insulation properties? i havent got a clue, so cant comment.
I really don't want to be negative but where are the days of the practical caravaning videos I learnt alot about caravans from you but........ You seem to have gone to commercial sorry but I want to see how fix this and how to clean that and I feel you has lost your way with making product reviews
The Johnson Family in what way is this video “commercial”? It is informative and interesting.
Have to agree. In no way commercial. Great video and I would want to see how the other manufacturers build their vans.
So many in the Trudgian archive, great resource to refer too as timeless - what else would you like to see?
@@Perthshire if like me you have watched all videos you would know he got a discount on his caravan to do promotional work hence the video nothing wrong with that at all good on him but for version content not so much don't get me wrong doing a great job
I got a discount for Diamondbrite on our caravan for a review of the product from our dealership. This was filmed in my own time at my own cost for the benefit of sharing this with everyone who wants to know how a caravan is built.
How dare you mention Bristol City you must wash your mouth out. . We are just good ole Bristol
bore fest.....enjoying my early night
Very interesting, thanks so much for sharing and greatly looking forward to the next bit as it's sealing the panels together which is key :)
