About the Bailey Retreat Sycamore

The Bailey Retreat Sycamore is a flagship twin-axle caravan designed for those who refuse to compromise on space or luxury. Measuring a substantial 8 feet in width, it offers an open-plan living environment that feels more like a holiday lodge than a traditional tourer. The interior is defined by its versatile layout, featuring a grand U-shaped front lounge and a dedicated L-shaped side dinette, ensuring there is plenty of room for all six occupants to dine and relax in comfort.

At the rear, the Sycamore boasts a private master suite with a fixed double bed and a high-end End Washroom containing a circular shower cubicle and luxury fittings. The kitchen is equally impressive, equipped with a dual-fuel hob, microwave, and a generous 117-litre fridge freezer to cater for large family meals. This model is the perfect choice for seasonal pitches or long-duration family adventures where internal living space is the top priority. Explore the Bailey Retreat Sycamore and more on RoamWorthy.

Practical ownership tips

Towing suitability

At 2,287kg MTPLM, your tow car needs a kerbweight of at least 2,691kg to meet the 85% guideline. Check towing capacity by reg or use the towing calculator to compare a specific car and caravan.

Available payload

The Bailey Retreat Sycamore has approximately 196kg of user payload. This must cover all personal belongings, water, gas, awning, and accessories. Overloading affects handling and is illegal.

Before you buy

Request a habitation check or damp survey for any used caravan. Check the service history, tyre age, chassis condition, and whether the CRIS registration matches the seller. Specifications vary by year and trim level.

Is the Bailey Retreat Sycamore a suitable seasonal caravan?

The Bailey Retreat Sycamore is a flagship 6 berth twin axle caravan designed for maximum internal volume, making it highly suitable for seasonal pitches. At 8.95 metres long and 2.45 metres wide, it provides an open plan living environment including a U-shaped lounge and a dedicated L-shaped side dinette. It features a private master suite and a high specification end washroom, though its 2287kg MTPLM and 8 foot width require a powerful tow car and careful route planning.

Six berth capacity with a fixed rear double bed and side dinette.
Substantial 8.95 metre exterior length and 2.45 metre width.
Twin axle chassis with a 2287kg MTPLM.
End washroom featuring a circular shower and heated towel rails.
Alde central heating and a 117 litre fridge freezer.

Worth knowing: The 2.45 metre width may restrict access on narrow roads or smaller pitches. A high MTPLM requires a vehicle with significant towing capacity.

Buying a Bailey Retreat Sycamore

Who it suits

• Large families requiring six berths and distinct dining areas.
• Seasonal pitch users who prioritise floor width and internal space.
• Tourers who own a heavy duty towing vehicle.

Reasons to consider it

• It offers one of the largest internal volumes available in a 2013 model.
• The 2.45 metre width creates a lodge like feel compared to standard tourers.
• High end kitchen and washroom equipment come as standard.

What to check

• Verify the towing vehicle is rated for the 2287kg MTPLM.
• Check the operation of the Alde central heating system.
• Inspect the 700W microwave and dual fuel hob for functionality.
• Confirm the condition of the sprung mattress in the rear suite.

Worth knowing: The 196kg payload must be managed carefully when packing for six occupants. Production ended in 2013, so condition and service history are vital.

Compare the Bailey Retreat Sycamore with similar models

Model	Berths	MTPLM	Length	Typical price
Bailey Retreat Sycamore	6	2287 kg	8.95 m	£14,500 to £28,500
LMC 695	6	2000 kg	8.95 m	£18,500 to £42,000
LMC 655	6	2000 kg	8.52 m	£12,500 to £38,500

The Bailey Retreat Sycamore occupies a specific niche for those seeking maximum dimensions, sharing its 8.95 metre length with the LMC 695 but carrying a higher MTPLM of 2287kg. While other Bailey models like the Phoenix or Pegasus offer 6 berth layouts at lower weights and shorter lengths, the Sycamore focuses on internal volume and a 2.45 metre width that is not found in the more compact Pursuit range.

Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.

Ownership and Maintenance Tips

Utilise the twin axle stability for smoother motorway towing.
Regularly service the Alde heating system to ensure year round comfort.
Check site width restrictions before travel due to the 2.45 metre body.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Underestimating the turning circle required for a twin axle caravan of this length.
• Exceeding the 196kg payload with heavy seasonal equipment.

Worth knowing: The 8.95 metre length requires large pitches which may need to be booked in advance.
