Bailey have announced the launch of new Unicorns, the Cabrera and Pamplona.

But..........they have made a HUGE mistake, with the only place to put a TV being on the front chest of drawers!!!!

I'm sure it'll suit some people, but it's a complete no no for me!!

you can have it at the back by the bunk beds but it would have to go on the small table and I think its to far away from the lounge to be able to see it properly and I am not convinced that the table is stable enough to put a tv on.
atm I am buying bits for it dh is right fed up :) we don't get it til March

Went to the nec today and looked at the new bailey and couldn't believe the TV area ,I know some people don't watch a tv when on holiday but a lot of people do,what's the point if putting a huge front window in then putting the tv in front of it??? Come on bailey do your research the rest of the van was really good .

The tv point in the pamplona is on the massive unit opposite the kitchen...it just might mean you want a reasonable size tv.

I didn't see that opposite the kitchen is just the fridge , are we talking about the same 2016/7 model ,I think it's been updated???

It just shows that we all like different things. I like the TV on the front cabinet.

Hate those front cabinets. So I wouldn't buy a caravan with one in to start with.

Looking at the pics on the Bailey website, there's a handle on the unit as you come in the door.

Is that the single axle version, and does the twin-axle version have a unit on the end of it?

We like thelayout of the Carbrera with its central bed.
Its no use to us as the bed is only 5' 10' long! My being over 6ft makes it useless to us. The Swifts with the same layout are the same!
Our Vigo 2 has a 6ft plus bed-as does the Vigo 3.
A lot of people are my height or more so I wonder what planet the designers are on!
