Weight

The Jaguar S-Type V6 2.7 D with a Swift Conqueror 480 with an actual weight of 1480 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Jaguar is in general very good. And also the weight of the Swift with a User Payload (125 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is pretty good.

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Jaguar 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 73%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 81%.
  • 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 62 mph (100 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 167 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 very 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

Roger Dumont reviewed a Jaguar S-Type V6 2.7 D:

"This is a new Swift Conqueror 480 (2 berth) after some years towing the Bailey Pageant Series 5 (4 berth). We found it much easier to tow behind the Jaguar with less movement at higher speeds and more stable, possibly due to the shock absorbers fitted to this model.

The car pulls away slowly but from 2nd gear right up to 6th, it appears to cope very well and the caravan has little effect on performance apart from those long slow hills where you need to take a little run up first to keep up with other traffic. At 65mph it is very capable and seems in control at all times, even when overtaking large lorries. My car is a manual so I'm not sure what effect it would have on the Auto gearbox.

Only difficulty I have experienced is reversing uphill, the clutch starts to burn but this may be due to wear rather than the caravan itself. For this reason I have fitted a caravan mover to make it easier to park and avoid strain on the clutch."
