 Performance | |  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!

Actual Weights
- Bailey Unicorn III Cadiz: 1491 kg.
- Honda CR-V 2.2i-DTEC: 1922 kg.
- Noseweight: 80 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 78%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 240 points).
- Speeds of 77 mph (124 km/h) to 82 mph (132 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is more than enough power at low engine speeds (score to compare 236 points).
- Higher revs (1600 rpm) are usually not necessary on flat roads, under most circumstances.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 18.2 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 277 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 18%.
- On motorway inclines higher revs (2600 rpm) are needed.
- A speed of 67 mph (108 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
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.
