Weight

The Honda CR-V 2.0i aut. with a Bailey Ranger GT60 520/4 with an actual weight of 1321 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Honda is in general more than sufficient. 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 pretty good.

Actual Weights

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Honda 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 75%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 85%.
  • 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 159 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

PAUL REYNOLDS reviewed a Honda CR-V 2.0i aut.:

"Recently updated my 1999 Honda CRV 2000cc Manual to a 2006 CRV 2000 cc Petrol Auto. 1500 KG max tow weight.The car tows very Well, stable, with adequate power, slightly less urge than the manual. On my first outing 286 miles of A and B roads, no motorways averaged 20.5 mpg. Slightly less than the same trip last year with the old model. This is my first Auto Tow Car and initial impressions are of an easy relaxed drive, As always careful loading and a realiastic weight ratio ensure a safe drive. The earlier version of the CRV Mk2 Auto had a lower towing limit 1200 KG due to the limitations of the older design gearbox."
