BAILEY PEGASUS MODENA (2016)
Practical Caravan
|November 2024
This fixed-bed layout offers ideal touring for two, says Andrew Jenkinson
BAILEY INTRODUCED the Pegasus for the 2010 season, its first range constructed using the Alu-Tech system.
Over time, it evolved and by 2016, the Pegasus was on its third generation. For that year, the line-up consisted of seven layouts, giving lots of choice to the potential buyer.
By that third generation, the Pegasus was offering improved spec and an upgraded interior. The absence of wood in its main construction also meant that leaks should cause no structural damage, but the wooden floors were still vulnerable, however.
To see how the range is doing these days, we took a look at a well-presented Modena model from the 2016 line-up.
Model history
The 2016 season saw the launch of the Modena, a new model in the range that was lightweight and yet offered a side fixed bed and rear full-width washroom. You also got a front lounge with an offside kitchen, and all this was packed into in an internal length of just under 5m. That made the Modena an attractively compact fixed-bed layout.
