Performance
Weight

The Landrover Freelander Td4 aut. with a Bailey Senator Louisiana with an actual weight of 1643 kg is a match suitable for most journeys, sometimes with some limitations.

The motor preformance of the Landrover is in general 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 heavy. Try to move luggage from the caravan to the car and drive not too fast. Remember to load your caravan correctly, insuring that the noseweight of the caravan is sufficient and the weight is distributed properly. But even so, a starting caravan driver is better off choosing a smaller and less heavy caravan!

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Landrover 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 87%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 99%.
  • The risk of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving is great. 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 a lot of knowledge and experience in driving a caravan it should be safe to drive slowly. Proper and careful loading is essential! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is definitely recommended.
  • Recommended noseweight is 90 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 106 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 sufficient.
  • Proper and careful loading is essential!
  • It's a good match, sometimes 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

Jannr reviewed a Landrover Freelander Td4 aut.:

"Caravan max laden weight 1900kg, with ALDE liquid cirqulation heating system and nordic/winter options. Stability with Winterhoff crimp towing head and bogie/tandem axle caravan chassis is surprisingly good. No problem to keep on cruising speed 85km/h on highways and motorways. Overtaking lorries, trucks and buses making no effort. Heavy sidewind makes to feel it, not starting outfit snaking.
Automatic transmission keeps on 5th gear on flat and small climbs. Smaller than 4th gear has not been necessary to use in quite steep hills of Southern Savonia area (Mikkeli). 70km/h speed is applicable in these conditions.
4wd with ATV tires are very helpful on gravel roads climbs, as well as wet grass camping areas. "
