About the Bailey Phoenix Series 1 650

The Bailey Phoenix Series 1 650 is a thoughtfully designed 5-berth caravan that prioritizes family flexibility and modern comfort. Built using Bailey's signature Alu-Tech bodyshell construction, it provides a robust and well-insulated environment for year-round adventures. The interior is characterized by the 'Brockwell' soft furnishings and 'Brushed Champagne' locker doors, creating a light, airy atmosphere that is further enhanced by the signature vertical front skylight which floods the lounge with natural light.

What sets the 650 apart is its unique family-centric layout, featuring rear bunk beds and a clever dinette that converts into an additional berth, allowing children their own dedicated space. The central washroom is surprisingly spacious, featuring a 'Granite Stone' lined shower cubicle usually reserved for higher-end models. Whether you are a growing family or a couple looking for extra storage and occasional guest space, this model offers a versatile platform for exploring the great outdoors.
