The towing limit is exceeded by 70 kg!
It is not allowed to drive with this Swift.
Make sure the towing limit is correct.
We now give advice based on the assumption that the legal maximum towing weight is higher for your car and that the car should be allowed to tow this caravan!
The Peugeot 607 2.2 HDiF biturbo with a Swift Conqueror 530 with an actual weight of 1670 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.
The motor preformance of the Peugeot is in general good. But the weight of the Swift with a User Payload (153 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is heavy. Try to move luggage from the caravan to the car and drive not too fast. Remember to load your caravan correctly, insuring that the noseweight of the caravan is sufficient and the weight is distributed properly. But even so, a starting caravan driver is better off choosing a smaller and less heavy caravan!

Actual Weights
- Swift Conqueror 530: 1670 kg.
- Peugeot 607 2.2 HDiF biturbo: 1895 kg.
- Noseweight: 90 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 88%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 232 points).
- Speeds of 75 mph (121 km/h) to 81 mph (130 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is a lot of power at low engine speeds (score to compare 250 points).
- Higher revs (1600 rpm) are usually not necessary on flat roads, under most circumstances.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 18.3 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 267 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 18%.
- On motorway inclines higher revs (2700 rpm) are needed.
- A speed of 66 mph (106 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit is exceeded by 70 kg (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 88%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 99%.
- The risk of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving is great. 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 a lot of knowledge and experience in driving a caravan it should be safe to drive slowly. Proper and careful loading is essential! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is definitely recommended.
- Recommended noseweight is 85 - 90 kg.
- Towball limit is 72 kg (Check this on the type plate of your towbar!)
- Safe speed up to 50 mph (80 km/h).
- Stability and safety score to compare is 103 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.
- Proper and careful loading is essential!
- 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.
