Performance
Weight

The Subaru Outback 2.5i aut. with a Bailey Pageant S6 Burgundy with an actual weight of 1380 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Subaru is in general more than sufficient. But 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 quite heavy, but no problem if the caravan is well loaded and the driving speed is not too fast. Remember to load your caravan correctly, insuring that the noseweight of the caravan is sufficient and the weight is distributed properly!

Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Subaru is more than 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 80%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 90%.
  • The risk of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving exist. Even if the combination normally feels stable, the forces by deflection side to side are so great that it could be dangerous. Only if the driver has knowledge of and experience in driving a caravan it should be safe to drive. Proper and careful loading is essential! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is recommended.
  • Recommended noseweight is 75 kg.
  • 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 more than sufficient.
  • Proper and careful loading is still important!
  • 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

Tom reviewed a Subaru Outback 2.5i aut.:

"Pulled my van easily but it was at a price! The engine struggled to maintain top gear because of the automatic box changing down at the earliest sign of you resting your foot on the throttle! Third was used 90% of the time making the engine rev highly and noisily! Consequently the fuel consumption, which isn't the best anyway, drops by 30% to around 19 mpg. Not the best car to retain it's value, either. Mine was one year old, 7500 miles, I was the third owner and I lost £6000 in three months! I prefer the low down torque of the diesel so I have gone back to the CRV, a far more capable machine."
