Weight

The Volvo V70 2.4 aut. with a Bailey Pageant S6 Burgundy with an actual weight of 1380 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Volvo is in general fairly 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.

Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Volvo is more than sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
  • The car is too heavily loaded.
  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 74%. 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 75 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 161 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 fairly 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

Georgina reviewed a Volvo V70 2.4 aut.:

"My V70 Auto has already done 125000 miles and has started towing a 24ft Bailey Pageant Burgundy. It is also my first experience at towing. I had to keep reminding myself that I had a caravan at all, as it pulled along even on 'creep' at the dealers. Had no problems at all, 50mph all the way from the Midlands to Yorkshire, plus a heavy awing and luggage in the boot too. Was averaging about 25mpg and this is a petrol car. Really impressed and has confirmed to me that my next car will be another Volvo."
