Looking for fun thing to do at one of Jack and Mary’s favorite places on earth? I just saw this posted, it looks amazing. I think we may go ourselves. Apparently it’s been four years since this gathering has been held. My interest has been peaked.☺️

Just a friendly reminder😊 we all love caravanning but please be respectful of truckies and their needs too.

We have finally got our Bailey Cartagena finished and ready for it’s inaugural outing with a trusted customer. So much love has gone into this beautiful lady during the past two months and we are excited to present our biggest caravan we have ever owned. This is the first time we have invested in a second hand caravan but recent sharp rises in the caravan and travel industries had us rethink of how to go forward with our business. We have decided to try out this older caravan that was top of the line in luxury in 2016 but is no longer available to purchase since the departure of the UK brands from our Australian shores. We are taking the challenge of providing family caravans with high comfort levels while staying affordable and it has opened doors to some some new ideas. We hope our clientele will enjoy our new but older caravan because we have truly enjoyed taking a tired luxury caravan and with some passion and elbow grease and bringing back its former glory.

Jack and Mary are so excited to add something a bit different. Mary has had her eye on these British designed and Australian made caravans for a number of years but they didn’t fit in with our mostly semi off road and popular and new models purchase plan. Thanks to a changing caravanning industry we can now introduce another way to meet our hirers needs and also scratch that itch to enjoy something more unique. Theses caravans differ in so many ways from Australian caravans with some pros and some cons. While the Bailey Cartegena is not a rough and ready off road caravan with massive carrying capacity like our Ezytrail Parks15 these European design caravans have so many ingenious features we have enjoyed exploring. For example they make the most of the interior space like ample storage and being able to sleep four adults while still having a roomy full ensuite bathroom without having to resort to pop out beds and/or heavy tare weights like many of our Aussie caravans. One of the most glorious treats and what Mary enjoys are the enormous windows up front with comfortable couches to enjoy the views. The lounges can seat six adults cafe style for a game of cards during inclement weather or an evening movie and then convert to a double bed at night. The feature we didn’t know about before we bought our Bailey was the Alde ducted heating and hot water system that maintains constant hot water and a snuggly temperature without the drone of a reverse cycle system that needs mains power access. The Alde system is set and forget and super efficient unlike the cumbersome traditional system. We didn’t even know that this kind of heating/hot water systems were available for caravans and the European caravans have had it for around 15 years. Australian caravan makers really need to add this feature for us southerners who want more cold climate camping!

Enjoy some pictures of our Bailey. We have been working solidly to fix up some neglect issues my and have made some upgrades like a new mattress that’s better than the one in our house. Haha! There are a few more projects in line but this girl is ready for a most enjoyable holiday trip. Our Bailey prefers the touring lifestyle or we can deliver if preferred but she can go more places than we previously thought and is highly recommended for comfortable off or on grid camping. She is light weight while grand in size and extremely solid and easy to tow. Feel free to give us a holler if you have any questions about the Bailey caravan or if you are seeking help with planning a caravanning holiday.
