Actual Weights
- Bailey Pageant Bordeaux: 1321 kg.
- Citroen C5 Berline 2.0 HDi aut.: 1854 kg.
- Noseweight: 75 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 71%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 212 points).
- Speeds of 71 mph (115 km/h) to 77 mph (124 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is sufficient power at low engine speeds (score to compare 187 points).
- Slightly higher revs (1800 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 20.1 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 253 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 21%.
- On motorway inclines higher revs (2900 rpm) are needed.
- A speed of 62 mph (100 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The maximum train weight is exceeded by 35 kg (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 71%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 80%.
- 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 75 kg.
- Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
- Stability and safety score to compare is 176 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 fairly 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.
