 Performance | |  Weight |
The Toyota RAV4 2.0 D-4D with a Bailey Pageant S6 Bretagne with an actual weight of 1395 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.
The motor preformance of the Toyota is in general more than sufficient. But 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 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 Pageant S6 Bretagne: 1395 kg.
- Toyota RAV4 2.0 D-4D: 1745 kg.
- Noseweight: 75 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 80%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally fairly good on flat roads (performance score to compare 197 points).
- Speeds of 70 mph (113 km/h) to 76 mph (123 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is sufficient power at low engine speeds (score to compare 169 points).
- Slightly higher revs (1900 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 24.4 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally fairly good (score to compare 193 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 14%, but do require some experience from the driver.
- On motorway inclines the speed drops despite high revs.
- A speed of 58 mph (94 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Toyota 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 80%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 90%.
- 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 75 kg.
- Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
- Stability and safety score to compare is 137 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 more than sufficient.
- 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.
