Weight

The Renault Grand Scenic 1.9 dCi with a Bailey Ranger 520/4 with an actual weight of 1260 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Renault 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 Renault 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 70%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 80%.
  • The chance of snaking is relatively small at normal speed, if the caravan is well loaded.
  • Recommended noseweight is 75 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 182 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

Kevin Bond reviewed a Renault Grand Scenic 1.9 dCi:

"Have been towing the Ranger 520/4 with my 2010 Grand Scenic 1.9dCi for a couple of years now, all over the UK and twice on long trips in France. Despite being right on the limit of what the handbook says the car will tow, I've had no problems, including 500 mile days across France at 65 all day. Average mph around 25 (low 40's solo). This is with 4 on board the car, plus everything needed for 3 weeks away. I think I used 4th gear a couple of times on the longest/steepest stretches, but speed never fell below 50. As long as you stay within the limits of the car and don't overdo the speed, it's a great match. What's puzzling is why Renault set the 1300kg limit? Other MPV's and estates that weigh about the same and have similar power can usually tow a few hundred kg's more."
