Weight

The Fiat Ulysse 2.0 16v JTD with a Bailey Ranger 510 with an actual weight of 1235 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Fiat 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 very good.

Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Fiat 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 64%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 71%.
  • The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
  • Recommended noseweight is 70 kg.
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 206 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.
  • 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

David Wright reviewed a Fiat Ulysse 2.0 16v JTD:

"Swapped from a petrol to diesel Ulysse and can now get 34mpg when towing if I keep below 55mph, this included a trip to Derbyshire with the hills!Although fully loaded ,4 passengers ,4 bikes,windsurfer and extended awning can bring it down to 26mpg on French autoroutes.Usually fine,slow on motorway inclines,just have to share lanes with hgv's,no snaking issues.I can seat 5 in the car and still get 5 bikes inside with the wheels removed,versatile or what!"
