Performance
Weight

The Audi A4 2.0 TDI Quattro with a Bailey Pageant S6 Vendee with an actual weight of 1415 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Audi 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 not too heavy, if the caravan is well loaded.

Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Audi is 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 79%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 88%.
  • There is a small chance of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving. Even if the combination normally feels stable, the forces by deflection side to side are great at high speed. For drivers with knowledge of, and experience in driving a caravan it is safe to drive, but proper and careful loading is still important! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is worth considering.
  • Recommended noseweight is 80 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 146 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.
  • If the caravan is well loaded 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

Tim reviewed a Audi A4 2.0 TDI Quattro:

"Note ** 2003 Audi 1.9 TDI Quattro Sport **
Travelled to Toulon and back from North Devon.
Utilised A roads Motorways and Toll roads on outbound journey. Return required use of some minor roads in UK.
Exceptional car, with masses of grip and ability to overtake on inclines (Dual Carriageway). Significant stretches of road able to run in 6th Gear, though small inclines soon required a change down to 5th. Can not recall less then 4th gear required. Basically gear ratios very good for progression on all roads. 4 Wheel drive in campsites and for those steep hill starts a massive plus.
Be wary of Nose weights obviously as towing, but I used between 70-80KG and found that to be effective. Only time I found very unsettling was Dover M20 which seems to be a terrrible road with undulations and pitting which coupled with being used to good roads in France required an alteration to driving style.
Average mileage a day doing two 3hour shifts at 170 miles. (France)
Average fuel between 26 - 29 MPG dependant on road.
Only times for tension is when overtaking HGV and then passed on outside by exceptionally fast larger vehicles (Landrover Discovery, Toyota Landcruisers etc). You do feel increased buffeting and could see benefits of larger vehicle.
Great Car........
