 Performance | | Weight |
The Peugeot 307 1.6 HDI with a Bailey Ranger GT60 460/4 with an actual weight of 1252 kg is in general a good match and suitable for journeys on most kinds of roads, sometimes with some limitations in the mountains.
The motor preformance of the Peugeot is in general sufficient. But the weight of the Bailey with a User Payload (197 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is quite heavy, but no problem if the caravan is well loaded and the driving speed is not too fast.

Actual Weights
- Bailey Ranger GT60 460/4: 1252 kg.
- Peugeot 307 1.6 HDI: 1514 kg.
- Noseweight: 75 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 83%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally fairly good on flat roads (performance score to compare 167 points).
- Speeds of 64 mph (104 km/h) to 71 mph (115 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is only moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 131 points).
- Slightly higher revs (2100 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 27.3 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally fairly good (score to compare 153 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 54 mph (87 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Peugeot 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 83%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 95%.
- 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 65 - 75 kg.
- Towball limit is 60 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 139 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.
- If the caravan is well loaded safe driving is possible.
- It's a good match, sometimes with some limitations in the mountains.
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.
