Performance
Weight

The Renault Laguna III 2.0 dCi aut. with a Bailey Pursuit 560-5 with an actual weight of 1429 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. But 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 quite heavy, but no problem if the caravan is well loaded and the driving speed is not too fast. Remember to load your caravan correctly, insuring that the noseweight of the caravan is sufficient and the weight is distributed properly!

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 78%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 89%.
  • The risk of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving exist. 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 knowledge of and experience in driving a caravan it should be safe to drive. Proper and careful loading is essential! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is recommended.
  • Recommended noseweight is 80 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 137 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.
  • Proper and careful loading is still important!
  • 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

Mark reviewed a Renault Laguna III 2.0 dCi aut.:

"I purchased my first caravan as a bit of an impulse buy. I am so glad that I did. I have a 2008 Renault Laguna DCi. I fitted spring stiffeners at the rear and got the car remapped by Celtic to give approx 195 bhp and 420 N/m torque. I towed the caravan to Italy in the summer of 2018. This was my first time at towing anything anywhere.

The whole experience was pleasant. Two adults and a child in the car. Caravan only lightly loaded with pots/pans etc. Nothing heavy. I had no fears at all. The car pulls really well. Being an automatic made it easier. Averaged around 28 MPG.

Speeds of up to 70 mph through France with ease.

Highly recommend the Laguna. Don't really understand why people need these big 4x4s. "
