The towing limit is exceeded by 550 kg!
It is not allowed to drive with this Hobby.
Make sure the towing limit is correct.

We now give advice based on the assumption that the legal maximum towing weight is higher for your car and that the car should be allowed to tow this caravan!

The Chrysler 300 C 5.7 V8 Hemi with a Hobby Prestige 720 UKFe with an actual weight of 2000 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Chrysler is in general very good. But the weight of the Hobby with a User Payload (173 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is quite heavy. Proper and careful loading is essential and don't drive too fast. Remember to load your caravan correctly, insuring that the noseweight of the caravan is sufficient and the weight is distributed properly!

Weight

  • The towing limit is exceeded by 550 kg (check this in your vehicle documents).
  • If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, you will need a B+E driving license.
  • The car is too heavily loaded.
  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 89%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 98%.
  • 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 100 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 105 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 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

Edwin Brandt reviewed a Chrysler 300 C 5.7 V8 Hemi:

"I'm confused lots of Grunt Etc , however the car appears to be too light ? ! Though i have no other choice. Do i place bags of cement in the boot of the car ? ? ? Is there ANY way around this to solve the RED Stars Issue ? ? ? Thank You Edwin in New Zealand
(Comment webmaster: Red stars due to limited MPTM of 1450 kg in Europe)"
