Performance
Weight

The maximum train weight is exceeded by 48 kg!


The Citroen C3 1.4 Hdi with a Elddis Avante Club 362 with an actual weight of 1127 kg is a match suitable for most journeys, sometimes with some limitations.

The motor preformance of the Citroen is in general very moderate but for your use maybe sufficient. The weight of the Elddis with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), kgis quite heavy, but no problem if the caravan is well loaded and the driving speed is not too fast.

Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The maximum train weight is exceeded by 48 kg (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 85%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 100%.
  • 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 55 - 70 kg.
  • Towball limit is 47 kg (Check this on the type plate of your towbar!)
  • 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 very moderate but for your use maybe sufficient.
  • If the caravan is well loaded safe driving is possible.
  • It's a good match, sometimes with some limitations.

 

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.
