Bailey Alicanto Grande Caravan - First look

[@MrMarkyone]

Just bought my 1st van alicanto grande porto cant wait to use it when lock down is over,keep videos coming as i am learning a lot off of you

[@ForTheLoveOfCaravans]

Excellent video Dan. So nice to have been invited today. Sorry I did not get chance to come over and say hi as you had a lot of people talking to you. I like the Porto myself, the wrap around cushions at the front were nice. I did not see the point of the glass splash back either. Thanks Ian....

[@noohall9213]

That’s a diplomatic way of saying the seats are HARD 👌

[@sandrawestley4193]

No the seats are really comfortable, the best we’ve ever had in fact.

[@johncooke2739]

Love the 6'12" measurement Dan 😂😂. I like the last model.

[@jomoore2161]

John Cooke , how did he say 6ft 12 inches, without chuckling at his error

[@tonisemeraro7051]

There is a Tv socket in the Sintra model at the front. it is located on the left hand side of the front 2 drawer mini pull out table!!! So don’t be deterred in considering this!

[@andyr5029]

A very timely video Dan. We were thinking of replacing our caravan and this is certainly food for thought. We would want a tranverse island bed this time and our excitement with the new Sintra model was somewhat diminished when we saw there was no shelf or TV point near the entrance door. We would never want to spoil the view out of that beautiful Bailey signature window at the front so this could sway us away from this model unfortunately. Great video and very informative as usual!

[@jacquelinepaul9731]

As the summers are going to be getting hotter and hotter,do these have air con please ??,im presuming you would have mentioned if they did.

[@jonward542]

Why do Bailey not use any architrave around the interior door seals? There's an obvious gap around the toilet door from the kitchen area - not very private! Have noticed this on the Unicorn Cabrera as well. Glad to see that the unsightly screws securing the kitchen sink are no more though.

[@CaraVanOlogywithBecky]

Lovely. As always great detail presented in a fun and engaging way and hooray for decently long front sofas and thus proper beds for families with beyond the bunks kids! Definitely the Porto for us ;-) We don't travel with a TV but trust me talking to each other can be overrated ;-)

[@kirstenfarr5071]

Great video as usual. Love that last one. Unusual to get the in line bed over 6ft

[@rayeldridge348]

Have they ditched the Alko wheel lock? They seem to be fitted with the Nemesis.

[@TheTrudgians]

Hi Ray, no Alko Secure as standard across the range. The Nemesis is used for demo purposes only.

[@MyBigTOW]

Lovely looking and well spec'd caravans. A little on the pricey side I would say at first impression. Will reserve judgement until I have seen them first hand. Thanks for another informative and concise video Dan. I also spotted the mistake on the 6 ft 12 in bed size. I am sure it was the pressure of getting this out that caused that to slip through the normally impeccable Trudgian quality control system.

[@Sam-ch9mn]

Another very useful video, thanks. Must have a look at these at the NEC. I think I spotted you on a site near Cirencester recently... with your famous coffee pot! Should have got an autograph 😁.

[@willramshaw4677]

Great vlog Dan, it's given myself and my wife some food for thought.

[@stephanieclarke2699]

We are creased up here Dan 6 .12 must of missed that at school

[@Vicq52400]

May have a tv bracket on the final model but where do you plug it in?

[@T.J4644]

Hi Dan good video Can I change subject and ask if you will be doing a video on lock & level twin wheeler soon as you get a double and single and I'm a bit puzzled how to use both to level caravan on our twin wheeler Thankyou

[@miked1945]

Hi If you google “ lock n level “ the manufacturer has done a youtube video on the double which I am sure will answer your questions. I have a single and it is great and easy to use. Mike

[@T.J4644]

@@miked1945 I lnow but they don't show you how to use double & single at same time

[@davethompson6726]

Hi Dan great review just like the journey in last years heat wave when you were buying your caravan one point i would like to ask you you mentioned the tv brackets on the one with the fitted by manufacturer Black plastic you said you just need to get a vision plus one that slips over the fitted plastic bracket i got a vision plus triple arm bracket i had to remove the fitted one and drill extra holes do they make an adapter to fit the arm brackets or did i get it wrong?? Dave

[@caravantuggers1608]

Dan can I make a suggestion as your channel really gets masses of views and something that I think will be of interest to fellow caravan pullers is to try out some powerbox units that connect to your Glow/spark plugs as they claim they increase BHP and fuel consumption something all caravaners want to make better. Yes I have had previous knowledge of these devices when owning a Freelander 2005 t4 pulling a Elddis Aurora MPTLM 1565KG and once i had one installed which anyone can fit then it was genuine more power and the fuel consumption figures actually got better

[@RollingwithTheRobsons]

A good review., So they didn't do any different family layouts. We got an invite but I was at work looks like a good day.

[@thomaslowdon5510]

What is 6.12 bed measure ?

[@colinrimmer789]

Very desirable caravans Dan, damn these manufacturers, now where’s that Piggy Bank.

[@TheCaravanNut]

Nice looking vans Dan, the one with the same layout as yours would have been perfect for you. Maybe next time. Speak soon, Martin 😊

[@al9600mc]

Hi Dan good vid however 6ft 12in was 7ft!!! when I was at school a long time ago, keep up the good work

[@meknownothing]

I was going to comment on the same thing 6ft 12 measurements I think they mean 7ft or am I not see something. Anyway another great video.

[@lindagriffiths5739]

I love the last one, looks great and a great price to. Look forward to looking around one.👍👍👍👍

[@Lifeat39000ft]

I think it everyone is wrong it’s not 7” it should be 5’24”

[@lostweekendscaravan]

Interesting Vans. Am I right in saying they sit above the Unicorns? Thanks Phil🙂

[@caravantuggers1608]

Hi Dan is this Baileys new top of the range offerings, why do I ask you might here me say! Well Bailey have always been known for light weight caravans and yet when viewing these new offerings I can only assume they are their flagship ranges as they are very close to the MTPLM's of Coachman VIP models which I have a big favouritism for

[@athole1954]

is 6 '12 not equal to 7'

[@duncanrothwell8225]

Thank goodness they’ve got rid of the G layout at front seats used on Pegasus 8ft .

[@rjx4777]

Nice video. Beds measure 6` 12" ? reminds me of when I was young, but we called it 7ft then.....

[@danuk2005]

Times have changed I'm afraid

[@steven5018]

There does seem to be alot of sticking out wooden bits. They are Inbetween the lounge cupboards, the kitchen, doors to the centre washroom and bedroom area. Not to mention a jutting out kitchen and weird shelves. I think I must have discovered some bizarre OCD but it would drive me insane, especially those top lockers above the lounge. And that wine rack thing is hideous, especially that weird sticking out shelf below it. On a positive I'm liking the new kitchen and bathroom sink.

[@daviddring8692]

Well Mr Trudge. Thought you'd just made a small slip up with the first mention of 6'12" Then you went and did it again David Dring

[@kevineast2079]

Love the vans but my car has a max tow 1300kgs and don’t intend changing it any time in the future will just have to stay with our ranger gt60

[@susanjennings6166]

Hi Dan. Great video. Is the cupboard under the wine bottle rack a pull out pantry (or could it be?)?

[@mikewaller4141]

Your a natural presenter, always like when your videos are out. Should be on tv.

[@karynnmcnicol2754]

Love the new Bailey Caravans, very nice. Thank you from NZ

[@ashropshirelad]

Lovely camera work in there Dan. How do you do those lovely 'smooth' pans? are you using a slider or key framing in post?? cheers.

[@johnmcallister1342]

Surely a 6’ 12” bed is 7 foot. It is in my book anyway.

[@nigejones9233]

Great video, as per usual. Maths not so hot :-) Payload on middle van seems a little low?

[@glennob7663]

On the last one you can see into the toilet with the door closed because of the way they've done the hinge! Not good.

[@rayeldridge348]

My Bailey Pamplona is the same!

[@dancodin3781]

Please organize a meeting with Travelling K from New Zealand. She’s visiting UK for now. I think You will find interesting subjects to debate. Thank You!

[@TheTrudgians]

Already on it ;-)

[@paddy4799]

No good for me, looking for a six ft thirteen bed

[@richardealden2323]

Very nice caravan .. but far too heavy ... touring caravans are not touring caravans anymore .. they are mini and cheaper statics ..

[@janscott3031]

Surely Dan 6Ft 12ins is 7 Ft !!!!!! Never mind great vid as always.

[@digital_designs]

was just going to say the same Jan ;)

[@christinagreaves7932]

Never gonna be a coachman😉

[@andysherman711]

At 8’33” - size of bed is 6’12” - is that not 7’? 🤣

[@Daveindurham]

Did it last until 8’60” , sorry 9 minutes.

[@MarkSmith-io3qd]

Alicanto Grande? Isn’t she a singer?! 😄

[@Sam-ch9mn]

Mark Smith Allegedly. Overworks her bottom jaw a bit on stage though.

[@vazza7504]

Six foot twelve, so seven foot then.great video Dan, must check my old pickle jar under my bed for funds, :-( nah not enough, ahh well one can dream. :-)

[@laptopsid]

28k and you still get the cheap plastic window catches and stays as you do on the cheapest van. Good review though Dan.👍

[@scotiajinker8392]

I don’t see the point of these vans , the fist van is the same as a Cadiz but 154kg heavier and it has the same rubbish payload of 155kg.

[@MyBigTOW]

It's an 8ft wide so whilst it's a similar layout to the Cadiz it's got much more space. The extra width will of course make it heavier.

[@scotiajinker8392]

You have missed my point , yes it’s bigger and heavier by 150kg ye you can only carry 150kg of stuff , not to mention it’s £4K more expensive than the Cadiz. It doesn’t have as much kit as a buccaneer , I think it will flop , not enough to take people away from the unicorn and not take people from a buccaneer , is in the middle ground with a very small customer base.

[@MyBigTOW]

@@scotiajinker8392 I don't think i missed the point as these are not points you made in your original comment. Had you done so it may have been clearer what you meant. I suppose we will see how it goes. Not everyone has Buccaneer money and it my well fit Into that middle ground you describe. The impending demise of the Lunar Alaria may also present extra opportunities for sales.

[@johnsigsworth55]

6’12” Dan lol

[@ukinfamous]

As someone not in the market for a brand new van, the continuous 'new van' reviews aren't really appealing to me and nor I'm sure, many of your viewers. It isn't just your channel, other's do exactly the same and I'm sure many of you have affiliations with the brand of caravan you recently purchased. What would be really good to see, is some of these channels going to the dealers and running through what 5-15k can buy those that either can't or not willing to spend 22k plus, or are dipping their toes in the water and want a cheaper van to have a go.

[@bramvr4368]

Metric! Welcome to the jungle/world

[@philipdaly4379]

6' 12" for a bed ??? It's like saying a woman is 5' 14" Mmmm
