Weight

The Honda Civic Tourer 1.6 i-DTEC with a Bailey Pegasus GT65 Genova with an actual weight of 1286 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 fairly good. And also the weight of the Bailey with a User Payload (127 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is pretty good.

Actual Weights

Performance

 

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 86%.
  • 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 62 mph (100 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 166 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.

User Reviews

Graham McKinlay reviewed a Honda Civic Tourer 1.6 i-DTEC:

"I feel more confident and comfortable now towing my Bailey Ranger GT60 500 /5 2009. Suspension was on the lower side on the rear however I installed a set of spring assisters which resolved the problem. Also keep the suspension setting to Normal. I would potentially change to tyres with more grip at the front end. I try to keep heavy items at the back of the caravan to reduce the nose weight (I.E awning). We had 1 passenger in the front. One in rear and 2 30kg dogs in the boot. "
