The Bailey Phoenix+ 642 is a sophisticated four-berth touring caravan that expertly blends contemporary style with the practical needs of modern tourers. Built upon the renowned Alu-Tech bodyshell, this model features a striking 'Dove Grey' and 'Polar White' exterior finish complemented by updated graphics.
