RV REVIEW But where’s the table? Well, Bailey has opted for a portable unit, which can be shifted about according to the shape, size and number of people at the dinette; it can even be taken outside. It certainly is a classy interior that’s further enhanced by the LED strip lighting above the locker doors. The kitchen isn’t lacking equipment, and the bathroom features a nearside cubicle with a cassette toilet, washbasin and a couple of cupboards. Directly opposite, on the offside, is the shower cubicle. It’s as neatly fitted out as you’d expect from a Bailey, but the best part is that the nearside cubicle door serves a dual purpose: when fully opened, it can latch into place to provide bathroom and bedroom privacy. The queen-size bed is surrounded by wardrobes and overhead lockers. These wardrobes, by the way, are particularly deep, and I liked the storage nooks with dual 240V and 12V powerpoints. SUMMING UP If towing weight is a concern, but you still want a large, well-appointed caravan, the Capricorn has to be on your list. But even if weight isn’t an issue, it’s still worth a look – top to bottom, it’s a stylish rig.
