The Bailey Endurance range launched at the start of the 2026 season, just in time for the October NEC Show, where the first model in the line-up, the E65 was on display.
This was subsequently joined by the E62, which made its first appearance at the Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show in February, an event which had a number of new models debuting, including the Ace 1200 campervan range.
The two Endurance models in the range are six metres long, and have an MTPLM of 3500kg, meaning they can be driven on a standard licence, something which can be a factor when choosing the best campervan. Both the E62 and E65 make an eye-catching sight, too.
Their ‘Grey Matter’ Ford Transit Trail base vehicles provide a rugged exterior which hints at the all-weather capabilities of these ‘vans, as well as their suitability for campervanning off-grid.
This is thanks to a spec which includes two 80Ah AGM leisure batteries, a Truma 130w solar panel, Truma Diesel Combi D4E heating and Grade III insulation, as well as all-weather tyres and a ‘Trail’ grill and bumpers.
They also come with a 12″ touchscreen infotainment system and a rear reversing camera, while their kitchens are kitted out with a Thetford 90-litre compressor fridge, a worktop extension, and a Dometic two-burner hob and sink.
They could be contenders for the best 2 berth campervans with a shower and toilet too, as the washroom features a Thetford electric flush and a shower with two drainage points.
However, what really sets the two Bailey Endurance campervans apart is the wide array of optional extras they can come with. Opt for the Adventure Pack and the campervan can be factory fitted with a Rhino roof rack and ladder, extra roof-mounted lighting for when off-road, and two 100w campervan solar panels instead of the 130W solar panel.
Choose this, and you then have the option of the TentBox roof text (£2,790). This not only comes in an eye-catching Sunset Orange to make you stand out even more on the road or at the site, but it also provides two extra berths, which, in the case of the E65, which has four travel seats, impressed us enough to be a highly commended contender for the best campervan for a family of four. The E62, in contrast, may have the four berth capabilities, but is only available with two travel seats.
The two ‘vans come with a 6-speed manual gearbox as standard, but an 8-speed automatic upgrade is a further option (£1,850), while 16″ Swamper black alloys (£650) and a glass panoramic overcab sunroof (£950) are among the available factory-fitted upgrades to consider.
Retailer fit options are also available, and include a microwave (£180) to further enhance the kitchen’s setup, a ‘Midnight’ loose fit drop in carpet (£150), and, for those who want easier access to the internet in a campervan on tour, an Avtex Wi-Fi system (from £329).
