Performance
Weight

The Opel Vectra 2.0 Dti with a Bailey Ranger 380 with an actual weight of 1058 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Opel is in general more than sufficient. And also the weight of the Bailey with a User Payload (190 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Opel is more than sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
  • The car is too heavily loaded.
  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 64%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 72%.
  • The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
  • Recommended noseweight is 65 kg.
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 214 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.
  • 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

John Atterton reviewed a Opel Vectra 2.0 Dti:

"Confirm the findings that the Lexon SE is probably at the limit for comfortable handling by the Vectra 2Dti. Have not experienced any problems towing at a fairly constant 50 mph. The Vectra tows well whether negotiating. motorways or steep hills in North Yorkshire. Grantham Caravans who supplied the new Lunar last year advised the match would be OK and so far it has."
