Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Opel is more than 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 0%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 0%.
  • The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
  • Recommended noseweight is 50 kg.
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 366 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.
  • 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

Corsic-ar07 reviewed a Opel Corsa 1.2:

"My Corsa 1.2 copes well with my 450kg caravan on the back. I have towed the same caravan with a 1 litre Corsa aswell, which also coped, however performance in the 1litre was not as good as with the 1.2.

It (1.2) can struggle on hills, but once on a reasonably flat surface or slight gradient, it can easily sit at 55-60mph if required. I have not towed on a motorway yet so cannot comment on that. I have however towed to remote areas in Scotland, and I was satisfied with the performance.

The Corsa offers a reasonable tow car for small, lightweight caravans such as those in the Freedom range."
