The Opel Vectra GTS 1.9 CDTi aut. with a Bailey Ranger 510/4 with an actual weight of 1223 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Opel is in general fairly good. And also the weight of the Bailey with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Opel is more than sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
  • If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, a B driving license is enough.
  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 66%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 74%.
  • The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
  • Recommended noseweight is 70 kg.
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 199 points.

If the caravan starts to snake you should reduce your speed and slow down directly! Lift your feet off the accelerator and brake gradually. Hold the steering wheel into a fixed position.

Conclusion

  • Performance is fairly good.
  • Safe driving is possible.
  • It's a perfect match!

 

Influence of User Payload on stability

Weight distribution and noseweight are vital in obtaining a stable caravan.

Distribute the User Payload by yourself in the caravan and the car and then find out the stability rating of your loading configuration.

User Reviews

Bernie reviewed a Opel Vectra GTS 1.9 CDTi aut.:

"This Vectra is a very good towcar, on motorways cruises easily at 60mph as long as the caravan nose weight is kept below 75kg. it is perfectly stable. The only downside is fuel consumption drops to about 30mpg. But all in all a very good car for the caravaner.(I have done about 2000 miles towing with this car."
