We do not recommend towing a caravan that is heavier than 1770 kg kg with this Citroen.
In this advice we assume an average caravan with a weight of 1770 kg. Remember that the exact performance depends on the chosen caravan and that air resistance and dimensions have an influence.
Performance
Weight
The Citroen Jumper HDI 110 with a Caravan as an example with an actual weight of 1770 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 more than sufficient. But the weight of the Caravan with a normally distributed User Payload (200 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!

Citroen Jumper HDI 110 Caravan as an example
Actual Weights
Caravan as an example: 1770 kg.
Citroen Jumper HDI 110: 2120 kg.
Noseweight: 95 kg.
Actual weight ratio: 83%.
Performance
The engine's performance is generally fairly good on flat roads (performance score to compare 191 points).
Speeds of 71 mph (115 km/h) to 78 mph (125 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is more than enough power at low engine speeds (score to compare 227 points).
Higher revs (1600 rpm) are usually not necessary on flat roads, under most circumstances.
Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 28.8 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally fairly good (score to compare 170 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 14%, but do require some experience from the driver.
On motorway inclines the speed drops despite high revs.
A speed of 55 mph (89 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
The towing limit of the Citroen 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 driving license.
Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 83%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 92%.
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 95 kg.
Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
Stability and safety score to compare is 126 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.
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.
