Weight

The Renault Gr. Espace 3.0 dCi aut. with a Bailey Pageant Provence with an actual weight of 1475 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Renault is in general very good. 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 good.

Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Renault 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 68%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 75%.
  • 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 182 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

Colin B reviewed a Renault Gr. Espace 3.0 dCi aut.:

"We love our Espace, we've had five of them up to now & the 3.0dci Garnd Espace is by far the best we've ever towed with. It's a very powerful vehicle, easy to drive with lots of passenger comfort for long journeys.

Anyone considering an MPV as a famliy/towcar would be well advised to go to your Renault dealer & test drive one before buying any other make. The 3.0dci isn't a common vehicle & you might need to get the dealer to locate one for you on the Renult database, we were lucky with ours & found it 2 miles from home. Superb vehicle towing & Solo.
