Caravan - Bailey Senator 6 2009 California Part 2 - Internal

Back in 2009 the Series 6 Bailey Senator California is yet another take on the nearside fixed bed, rear washroom caravan, with one very big difference: it has a U-shaped lounge. The result is much more seating space, much more space in which to put your feet up and relax – and a much more open-plan, airy aspect to the living area compared with the traditional parallel settees arrangement. Another benefit of a U-shaped lounge is that at night time it makes a much larger double bed than layouts with a central chest of drawers. Half of the caravan’s length is taken up by its bedroom and en-suite shower room but it still offers a spacious living area and, importantly, plenty of kitchen surface space, too.
Returning to the Bailey’s cosy ambiance after each day’s sightseeing expeditions was a joy. In particular, its kitchen configuration works really well: four-burner hob offset to the oven/grill, giving surface space around it; microwave – and an ingenious removable drainer wall-clip that also gives you a place to hang a dish-cloth. LED strip-lights illuminate the whole area in a warm green hue, stretching over both sink and hob – a million miles more refined than any illumination the standard white tungsten strip-lights can offer. Lighting is an impressive feature of the shower room, too. You have four spotlights. Two are above the large mirror (you can check your attire from top to toe here) and the second pair illuminates the washbasin area from a ceiling plinth. In addition there’s a central ceiling light. But there’s another feature of this shower room that distinguishes the new California: a Truma heated towel rail that’s part of the blown-air central heating system. A duct at floor level directs warm air up into the towel rail and a series of small outlets on each of the two rails allows warm air to dry your towels.
