Weight of the new Autograph motorhome models

I've had an update from Simon Howard, Marketing Director of Bailey Of Bristol on the weights of the new Bailey Autograph range, which I reviewed in two videos;

The MPTLMs remain unchanged from the equivalent models of the previous series and, as a result of significant weight reductions in the vehicle itself, there is a sizeable increase in all user payloads.

For clarification purposes I have detailed below what is and what is not included in the declared MRO figure for each model.

• MRO stands for ‘Mass in Running Order’ and is the weight of the motorhome as it leaves the factory in its standard form. All items listed in the Product Specifications of our vehicles are included in this figure.
• Within the quoted MRO figure there is an allowance made for ‘essential habitation equipment’ which consists of the following:
                      - Vehicle driver = 75kg
                      - 90% fuel tank capacity = 81kg
                      - One full gas bottle = 14kgs.
                      - Fluids in ALDE heating system = 10kgs
• The MRO is calculated with the fresh water tank empty. It is not recommended that you travel with water in the fresh water tank but if you chose to do so then our available payload will reduce accordingly
This policy is fully compliant with EWVTA requirements and in-line with that of our competitors.

One final point to mention is specifically on the new Autograph 81-6 model. Owning to the weight and size of this vehicle it will be sold with a factory fitted restrictor limiting it to speeds of 68 mph (or 110 kph). This not only has positive safety implications but also ensures that the vehicle is again fully compliant with new EWVTA legislation.

The new weight information for this range will appear in due course in the new motorhome product brochure and on the company web site.
