Weight

The Peugeot 407 SW 2.0 HDI 16v 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 Peugeot 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 Peugeot 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 75%.
  • 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

Gail Bouskill reviewed a Peugeot 407 SW 2.0 HDI 16v:

"Brilliant tow car with our Lunar Ultima 525 and gave 37mpg but have just changed to Bailey Olympus 405 which is a bit heavier, towed great when empty & managed to get noseweight down to 65kg which is towbar limit, love the car but thinking of changing to 4WD, shame because we have had Peugeot for the last 20 years."
