Performance
Weight

The Citroen Xsara Picasso 1.6 HDI with a Bailey Pageant Monarch with an actual weight of 1295 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Citroen is in general more than sufficient. But the weight of the Bailey with a User Payload (177 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.

Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Citroen 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 81%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 93%.
  • 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 139 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.
  • 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

Trevor reviewed a Citroen Xsara Picasso 1.6 HDI:

"Xsara Picasso, 2007 1.6d, 109bhp towing a Bailey Pageant Monarch MRO 1118.
The outfit is stable and the car pulled comfortably on motorways and hills returning 30mpg on a trip from Glasgow to the Midands. I do load the heavy items in the car to keep the van lighter. The ration of this outfit is 93%, somewhat heavier than recommended, but it hasn't given me any concerns regarding pulling power and stability."
