The towing limit is exceeded by 80 kg!
It is not allowed to drive with this Bailey.
Make sure the towing limit is correct.

We now give advice based on the assumption that the legal maximum towing weight is higher for your car and that the car should be allowed to tow this caravan!

The Skoda Octavia 1.9 TDI with a Bailey Pageant S6 Burgundy with an actual weight of 1380 kg is a match just suitable for most journeys but also with some limitations.

The motor preformance of the Skoda is in general just sufficient. But 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 quite heavy. Proper and careful loading is essential and don't drive too fast. Remember to load your caravan correctly, insuring that the noseweight of the caravan is sufficient and the weight is distributed properly!

Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit is exceeded by 80 kg (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 88%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 101%.
  • The risk of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving exist. Even if the combination normally feels stable, the forces by deflection side to side are so great that it could be dangerous. Only if the driver has knowledge of and experience in driving a caravan it should be safe to drive. Proper and careful loading is essential! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is recommended.
  • Recommended noseweight is 75 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 107 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 just sufficient.
  • Proper and careful loading is still important!
  • It's a fairly good match, only for experienced (caravan) drivers and with some limitations.

 

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

russell langton reviewed a Skoda Octavia 1.9 TDI:

"my dad pulls his bailey caravan very easy with his skoda, has had no problems at all and never lost traction, the car really shows its guts and compared to my 1.8 petrol mondeo it wins hands down as my mondeo struggles slightly on hills and loses traction, hense the reason i'm getting a diesel mondeo.. My dad pulls the bailey all over the country, travels with no problems from norfolk to the isle of wight, even manages to pull the big van off a soggy site! Quite an amazing car! well done skoda!!"
