he Club advises that a Renault Koleos Privilege dCi 150 4x4 (2008) can, with warnings, tow a Bailey Pegasus Series 2 Rimini (2012)

  • This outfit combination could be a match. Kerbweight ratio: 91%
  • The caravan's laden weight is close to the car's kerb weight, increasing the risk of stability concerns. This outfit should not be driven by novice towers, and does not meet Club guidelines. Note that a small increase in ratio (to perhaps 90%) is acceptable
    if all other criteria are passed.
  • This outfit combination is a good match. Towing limit ratio: 75%
  • The caravan's laden weight is within the car's stated towing limit, and therefore meets legal limitations.
  • This outfit combination is a good match. Gross train weight ratio: 87%
  • We do not have a gross train weight figure for this car. There is a small risk of the car’s GTW being exceeded if both car and caravan are heavily laden, as some car makers define GTW as less than the sum of the car and the caravan’s fully laden weights.
    However, we judge this outfit unlikely to suffer this problem. To be absolutely sure of not exceeding this legal limit, though, check the car’s GTW suitability by referring to the retailer or maker (or the weight plate on the car, if available).
  • This outfit combination is a good match. Nose weight ratio: 100%
  • The car's nose weight should be fine to safely tow this caravan. If this figure is high, however, (typically over 100%) care will be needed to load the caravan so that the car’s nose weight limit is not exceeded, but this should be practically achievable.
    Aim for 5-7% of the caravan’s actual laden weight without overloading the car.
  • This outfit combination is a good match. BHP per ton : 44
  • The car’s engine power should be fine to safely tow this caravan.
