Weight

The Citroen C3 Picasso 1.6 Hdi with a Bailey Orion 400-2 with an actual weight of 1076 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Citroen is in general sufficient. And also the weight of the Bailey with a User Payload (117 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Citroen 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 68%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 79%.
  • The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
  • Recommended noseweight is 55 - 65 kg.
  • Towball limit is 54 kg (Check this on the type plate of your towbar!)
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 202 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.
  • 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

S.G reviewed a Citroen C3 Picasso 1.6 Hdi:

"This car manages to tow OK but struggles a bit up hills.Also when there is a wind it wobbles a bit so we keep speed to 55. Head wind causes it to struggle a bit but it does tow it. The tow ball weight is however low and we have struggled to get caravan nose weight down to 60. Be aware of this problem. The car is brilliant solo and possibly worth the slight weakness on towing. Check your data carefully."
