Weight

The Chevrolet Captiva 2.2D aut. 4WD with a Bailey Unicorn Barcelona with an actual weight of 1686 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Chevrolet is in general good. And also the weight of the Bailey with a User Payload (160 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is pretty good.

Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Chevrolet is 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 75%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 83%.
  • 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 90 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 167 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

Peter McGann reviewed a Chevrolet Captiva 2.2D aut. 4WD:

"I have been towing an Elddis Avante 566 for the past 3 years with the Chevrolet Capitva 2.2 AWD (184bhp) automatic and it's a doddle.
Consumption runs between 28 and 29mpg and It's an easy drive as it's automatic and within all this the car is fully loaded.
The car has only done 34,000 in round terms so it's got plenty of life left in it which means we've got plenty of towing to do at an affordable fuel cost "
