Can you design a 1970s caravan?

Mabel, our 1977 Bailey Maru, has enjoyed countless holidays during her 43-year lifespan and she’s about to receive some tender loving care. During the restoration process we’ll be repainting her sleek bodywork and we’re looking for a design that reflects the year she emerged from the Bailey of Bristol factory.

The seventies is an iconic period in the world of design with many artists, designers and fashion houses borrowing from this decade on a regular basis. Boots became taller, flares meant trousers became wider and the Union Flag was waved from every street corner during the Silver Jubilee. If a hat wasn’t red, white & blue AND emblazoned with a London bus, it remained unsold.

Using the downloadable template, we’d love to see as many 1970’s-inspired designs as possible. Age and artistic ability needn’t be a barrier – this is the seventies, man! As well as seeing their design applied to Mabel, the winning designer will also receive a huge selection of caravan related gifts, with the ‘Big Bailey Bonanza’ giveaway.

Let’s see those groovy designs!

Congratulations to Ben Harris for his imaginative design. We can’t wait to see it applied to Mabel this summer!
