While I was at Bowentown, I spotted one of the new Bailey Adamo’s down by the beach.

This was Ken and Rose’s first trip away in it after picking it up only a few weeks ago. Not too far from home at Omokoroa, their shakedown first trip was so far uneventful apart from a few missing groceries!

Following the European trend of smaller vehicles for parking in European cities and with emissions in mind, the Bailey measures in at 7.485m with a 3500kg GVM making it a WOF vehicle. Being on a Transit base, it is powered by a Ford 2l Turbo diesel. Apparently, it is the same as the motor in the 2l Ranger.

One of the nice things that sold it for Rose and Ken was the drop-down beds giving them a front dining / Lounge area and a nice cosy U shape lounge area at the back. Both beds are electric with a nice Galley area and Bathroom on opposite sides in the middle. A great way to save space.

It’s funny who you meet on the road as later in the day when we sat down with a glass of wine together, it turned out that they both spent many years on Waiheke Island and know a few people in our family as well as a few friends on the island. Small world stuff.

A great couple enjoying their new Motorhome.
