Weight

The maximum train weight is exceeded by 19 kg!


The Peugeot 2008 1.6 e-HDi with a Sterling Europa 390 with an actual weight of 1193 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Peugeot is in general more than sufficient. But the weight of the Sterling with a User Payload (186 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is quite heavy, but no problem if the caravan is well loaded and the driving speed is not too fast.

Weight

  • The maximum train weight is exceeded by 19 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 82%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 97%.
  • 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 60 - 70 kg.
  • Towball limit is 51 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 141 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 more than sufficient.
  • If the caravan is well loaded 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

Kenny Robinson reviewed a Peugeot 2008 1.6 e-HDi:

"Car very stable with Freedom. Had no problem at 60mph on Motorway or hills In Cornwall. Drove about 1600 miles from Glasgow to Cornwall and back. You need to ensure the caravan is loaded front and middle heavy to minimise bounce. With an Alco hitch very stable even in strong winds. 41MPG "
