The 2024 Bailey Alicanto Grande Porto is a 4-berth touring caravan built around a separate end bedroom with a fixed island bed. At 2.44m (8’0″) wide and 7.87m (25’10”) in external length, the twin axle setup adds stability on the road, and the Grande badge brings a fuller specification than the standard Alicanto range.
Layout and Living Space
The end bedroom holds a fixed island bed, ready to sleep in each night without any making up, with space to move around on both sides. The lounge at the other end gives you a dinette and seating area for meals, work, or winding down after a drive. Loose fit carpets, blinds, and fly screens run throughout the van, keeping it comfortable and private wherever you pitch. Splitting the bedroom off from the lounge means one person can stay in bed while the other gets the kettle on.
Kitchen Facilities
The kitchen is fitted with a full oven, microwave, fridge, and freezer, giving you what you need to cook a complete meal on site rather than heading out every evening. An external gas BBQ point lets you take the cooking outdoors on the days the weather’s on your side.
Heating and Climate
Alde wet central heating runs through the van, warming it evenly through a network of pipes rather than blown air, so there’s no cold patch by the door or windows. The same system heats your water for the shower and taps. A Heki rooflight and sun roof bring in extra daylight and fresh air, and an extractor fan clears steam and cooking smells from the kitchen.
Practical Extras
Alloy wheels, a spare wheel, and a hitch head stabiliser come as standard, and a solar panel with battery charger keeps the leisure battery topped up whether you’re off grid or on hook-up. An alarm and stereo system are fitted for extra peace of mind and comfort, and GRP side panels help keep the bodywork looking good for years to come.
Weight and Towing
The Alicanto Grande Porto has an MTPLM of 1,800kg and a payload of 181kg. The twin axle setup helps keep the van steady while towing, particularly in crosswinds or when being overtaken, though it’s worth getting used to how that affects reversing and manoeuvring on a tight pitch if you haven’t towed twin axle before. Check these figures against your tow car’s limits before buying. The team at Raymond James Caravans can run through the numbers with you when you visit.
