 Performance | |  Weight |
The Kia Carnival 2.9 TDI with a Bailey Pageant Auvergne with an actual weight of 1385 kg is a match suitable for most journeys, sometimes with some limitations.
The motor preformance of the Kia is in general more than sufficient. 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 very good.

Actual Weights
- Bailey Pageant Auvergne: 1385 kg.
- Kia Carnival 2.9 TDI: 2300 kg.
- Noseweight: 75 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 60%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally fairly good on flat roads (performance score to compare 178 points).
- Speeds of 69 mph (112 km/h) to 76 mph (122 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is more than enough power at low engine speeds (score to compare 241 points).
- Higher revs (1600 rpm) are usually not necessary on flat roads, under most circumstances.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 30.9 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally sufficient (score to compare 147 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 12%, but do require some experience from the driver.
- On motorway inclines the speed drops despite high revs.
- A speed of 53 mph (86 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Kia 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 60%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 66%.
- The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
- Recommended noseweight is 75 kg.
- Stability and safety score to compare is 216 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 more than sufficient.
- Safe driving is possible.
- 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.
