 Performance | |  Weight |
The Peugeot 407 Berline 2.0 HDI 16v 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 Peugeot 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 not too heavy, if the caravan is well loaded.

Actual Weights
- Bailey Pageant S6 Burgundy: 1380 kg.
- Peugeot 407 Berline 2.0 HDI 16v: 1805 kg.
- Noseweight: 75 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 76%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 223 points).
- Speeds of 73 mph (118 km/h) to 79 mph (127 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is sufficient power at low engine speeds (score to compare 197 points).
- Slightly higher revs (1800 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 18.9 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 251 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 17%.
- On motorway inclines higher revs (2900 rpm) are needed.
- A speed of 64 mph (103 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Peugeot is more than 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 76%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 87%.
- 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 153 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.
