Weight

The Citroen C3 Picasso 1.6 Hdi FAP with a Sprite Super 390 with an actual weight of 1075 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Citroen is in general fairly good. And also the weight of the Sprite with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Citroen 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 66%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 76%.
  • The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
  • Recommended noseweight is 55 - 65 kg.
  • Towball limit is 54 kg (Check this on the type plate of your towbar!)
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 206 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.
  • 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

Peter Tremelling reviewed a Citroen C3 Picasso 1.6 Hdi FAP:

"We have the 110HP 1.6 diesel in 'desire' trim. It is a brilliant car under all conditions, and tows our Sprite 390 Super (1993) very well indeed. we have nothing but praise for the car."
