Weight

The Peugeot 607 3.0 V6 24v aut. with a Abbey GTS Vogue 416 with an actual weight of 1413 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 good. And also the weight of the Abbey 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 Peugeot 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 76%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 85%.
  • 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 156 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 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

Allan reviewed a Peugeot 607 3.0 V6 24v aut.:

"Although the weights are fine I would not recomend towing with the 607 petrol. The 3.0ltr is an auto tiptronic and despite 207 bhp, I still had to change down to third and occasionally second on motorway inclines.
A known fault is fragile gear boxes mine was replaced twice in under 80k miles at a cost of £3695 each Before fitting the tow bar. one to avoid."
