Weight

The Opel Zafira OPC 2.0 T with a Bailey Pageant Auvergne with an actual weight of 1385 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Opel is in general 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 pretty good.

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Opel 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 75%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 84%.
  • 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 56 mph (90 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 157 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 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

AnonyMous reviewed a Opel Zafira OPC 2.0 T:

"Using our GSI to to pull our Bailey GT60 500/5 (1316 kg) and it pulls it okay, Very stable, even in very windy conditions. Just a bit thirsty on the fuel consumption. Have yet to tow with a diesel so have nothing to compare against unfortunately.
Removeable and hidden westfalia tow bar keeps the car looking standard too."
