Bailey caravans successfully complete 22nd year of Millbrook marathons in Towcar of the Year testing

25th September 2019 | Bailey of Bristol
Testing for the 37th Caravan and Motorhome Club Towcar of the Year Competition took place during August at the Millbrook Proving Ground in Bedfordshire, where a wide cross section of vehicles from leading car manufacturers were put rigorously through their paces by an independent panel of driving judges over a four-day period.

Bailey of Bristol were invited by The Caravan and Motorhome Club to supply the caravans used in this prestigious event for the 22nd consecutive year. Whilst the purpose of the testing is to assess the performance of the individual tow vehicles, this competition also provides a thorough examination of the participating caravans in terms of product durability and stability.

A selection of ten Bailey Phoenix, Pegasus Grande and Unicorn caravans were chosen for the testing process to provide each of the 36 entrants with a suitable tow match. Every caravan was ballasted to 85 per cent of the towcar’s kerb weight, or its maximum towing limit, if lower, and had any stability aids disabled to ensure each car’s reactions to the demanding series of tests could be fully assessed.
