Performance
Weight

The Jaguar S-Type 2.5 V6 aut. with a Bailey Pegasus 624 with an actual weight of 1638 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Jaguar is in general fairly good. 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 of the Jaguar is more than sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
  • If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, you will need a B+E (or B96) driving license.
  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 83%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 93%.
  • 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 80 - 90 kg.
  • Towball limit is 75 kg (Check this on the type plate of your towbar!)
  • Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 120 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.
  • Proper and careful loading is still important!
  • 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

Henry reviewed a Jaguar S-Type 2.5 V6 aut.:

"Only problem we find rear end of jag is very low - [we have a detatchable towbar swan neck] - but have problems attaching caravan to car & lifting jockey wheel - we find jockey wheel will not lift sufficiently to clear road surface in some situations ie. speed bumps - admittedley we do not come across many speedbumps on motorway but looking at outfit it seems nose-heavy on front of van & low on back of car - any suggestions before we trade in Jag again!!!!"
