It is not allowed to drive with this Compass.
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 Toyota Avensis 1.6 16v with a Compass Rallye 644 with an actual weight of 1839 kg is not a recommended match to drive.

The motor preformance of the Toyota is in general moderate but for your use maybe sufficient. But the weight of the Compass with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is too heavy for long distances. Remember to load your caravan correctly, insuring that the noseweight of the caravan is sufficient and the weight is distributed properly. But even so, a starting caravan driver is better off choosing a smaller and less heavy caravan!

Weight

  • The towing limit is exceeded by 539 kg (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 125%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 145%.
  • The risk of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving is great. It is not recommended to drive with this outfit for long distances!
  • Recommended noseweight is 90 - 100 kg.
  • Towball limit is 75 kg (Check this on the type plate of your towbar!)
  • Safe speed up to 50 mph (80 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 1 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 moderate but for your use maybe sufficient.
  • Proper and careful loading is essential!
  • It's not a recomanded match. Only if you are an experienced (caravan) driver it is posible to drive carfully.

 

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.
