The 2017 Bailey Pegasus Genoa is a two-berth touring caravan that packs a strong specification into a compact and manageable package. At 7’4″ wide and just over 20 feet in external length, it’s easy to tow and practical on site – without feeling cramped once you’re set up.
Layout and Living Space
The Genoa is a fixed end washroom layout. That means your shower, cassette toilet, and washbasin are all housed in a dedicated room at the rear of the van – completely separate from the main living area. It’s a layout that works well for couples who want a bit of privacy and a clean, uncluttered lounge at the front.
The lounge itself is well-proportioned. Loose-fit carpets add warmth underfoot, and blinds and fly screens on the windows mean you can control light and airflow easily throughout the day and evening.
Kitchen Facilities
The kitchen in the Genoa is fully equipped for touring life. You get a full oven, a hob, a fridge, and a freezer – everything you need to cook proper meals on site rather than relying on the site restaurant every night. There’s also an external gas BBQ point, so when the weather’s right, you can cook outside without faffing around with connections.
Heating and Climate
Heating is taken care of by a Truma system with blown air throughout the van. Truma is one of the most trusted names in caravan heating, and blown air means every part of the caravan warms up evenly – no cold corners. For the warmer months, the Heki rooflight and large sunroof give you excellent ventilation and bring a lot of natural light into the living space.
Practical Extras
This is where the Genoa really stands out. The motor mover is already fitted, which makes manoeuvring onto a pitch on your own far less stressful – especially on tighter sites. There’s a battery charger to keep your leisure battery topped up, an external 240v hook-up point, and a hitch head stabiliser for a more stable tow.
Alloy wheels and a spare wheel are both included, and the van comes with a full stereo system already installed.
Weight and Towing
The Genoa has an unladen weight of 1,146kg and an MTPLM of 1,265kg, giving you 120kg of payload to work with. It’s worth checking that figure against your car’s towing limit and kerb weight before you buy – if you’re unsure, the team at Raymond James Caravans can walk you through the numbers when you visit.
