Weight

The Honda CR-V 2.2i-DTEC with a Bailey Unicorn III Cadiz with an actual weight of 1491 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Honda is in general good. But the weight of the Bailey with a User Payload (154 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!

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Honda 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 78%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 87%.
  • 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 80 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 143 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.
  • 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

Clive Brookes reviewed a Honda CR-V 2.2i-DTEC:

"I have a family of four so there is a lot of kit to be packed, I always pack sensibly with weight distribution, But initially had difficulty with stability, this was a real shock when you hear all the reviews on what a good tow car the CRV is. However, I did some in depth research and Japanese designer like a softer suspension and not CRV all users will have a family of four so the CRV or any other car would cope. But there was a solution and it was quite cheap, spring assists. These rubber doughnuts cost £60 fitted and it completely transformed the car from poor to excellent. I would now recommend the car in terms of towing, but reliability has proven a bit of an issue. In short the CRV is not a reliable as other Honda's which are more simple bullet proof petrol models."
