Weight

The Skoda Yeti 2.0 TDI 4x4 with a Lunar Clubman SB with an actual weight of 1450 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Skoda is in general fairly good. But the weight of the Lunar with a User Payload (155 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!

Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Skoda is more than sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
  • If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, you will need a B+E (or B96) driving license.
  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 82%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 94%.
  • 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 80 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 129 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.
  • 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

mr j fisk reviewed a Skoda Yeti 2.0 TDI 4x4:

"Bought this car after reading reviews suggesting that this was a good tow car.
It is not a good tow car, struggles with the caravan and needs lots of low gear work to get it up hills, the mpg is a disaster at 25mpg and 50mph.
I used my Citroen C5 diesel that is 12 yrs old to collect van some 120miles away before I got the Yeti, that performed well and did 39mpg , so what a dissapointment to find that a brand new Yeti with 140bhp compared to the Citroens 110bhp was so useless. Will never buy Yeti again and now using my old Ciyroen to tow with as it is just so much better!"
