Introducing Bailey’s first ever panel van conversion…
The recent Motorhome and Caravan Show at Birmingham NEC saw the launch of Bailey’s first ever panel van conversion, the Bailey Endeavour! As you’d expect, it’s compact in design but big on performance, providing everything you need for your adventures on the road.
If you like the idea of owning and driving a motorhome, but feel apprehensive about the size and the handling experience, then the Endeavour could be the solution you’re looking for. At 5.98m long, it’s around a metre shorter than the average motorhome making it much easier to handle, manoeuvre and of course, park!

If you’re considering selling your caravan or motorhome or want to upgrade to a newer, bigger or higher-spec model, think Winchester Caravans & Motorhomes! We’re always looking for pre-owned models to add to our stock and we’ll give you a great price!
We’re keen to speak to anyone looking to sell their leisure vehicle, regardless of the make or model, as long as it’s in good condition and ideally between 1 and 10 years old, though we may accept some older models. You don’t even have to be local to Hampshire - we will travel to you to collect (within reason!) so please do keep us in mind.

Book your sites early for 2022!
The past two years have seen higher numbers of people opting for caravan and motorhome holidays in the UK than ever before. This is largely due to the pandemic hampering people’s plans to travel abroad, making staycations in the UK a more viable option.
2022 is likely to bring much of the same behaviour as the COVID numbers show no sign of falling and the number of people wanting to stay close to home is expected to remain high. With this in mind, if you’re planning a few caravanning trips yourself for the coming year, it’s a good idea to start planning ahead and get your sites booked! Delaying may mean your favourite sites are full or that you are unable to get the dates you were after.

Get ready for the 2022 season...
In the past, caravanners and motorhomers may have waited until they’d attended a show, such as the Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show at the NEC, before making a decision on their first or next purchase. However, with no shows taking place in 2021 (both the February and October NEC shows were cancelled due to COVID) this may have thrown a spanner in the works.
Attending a national show like the ones held twice a year at the NEC are a great way of gaining an overview of what’s available in the industry, what dealerships are local to you and which vehicles may best suit your needs. However this year is a little different as demand is so high, so if you were thinking of using the February 2022 NEC show to aid your decision-making, you should reconsider.

We’re now an official new Bailey motorhome dealership!
Winchester Caravans and Motorhomes are now an official dealer of new Bailey Motorhomes and are looking forward to taking delivery of some show models soon.
Bailey of Bristol approached Winchester Caravans and Motorhomes to ask if we’d like to stock their new motorhome range and we decided that it was a good time to get on board. Since we started stocking pre-owned motorhomes in January, our knowledge of them has grown and we are keen to expand our offering to include both new and pre-owned models. We expect to be selling a 50/50 split of each to ensure that we have a range of options for our customers.
