Performance
- The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 235 points).
- Speeds of 75 mph (121 km/h) to 81 mph (130 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is more than enough power at low engine speeds (score to compare 219 points).
- Higher revs (1800 rpm) are usually not necessary on flat roads, under most circumstances.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 17.2 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 298 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 24%.
- On motorway inclines higher revs (3200 rpm) are needed.
- A speed of 66 mph (107 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
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 71%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 80%.
- The chance of snaking is relatively small at normal speed, if the caravan is well loaded.
- Recommended noseweight is 70 kg.

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 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.
