Verdict

The Vauxhall Rekord 1.9 and the Caravan as an example of a laden weight of 1180 kg is not a recommended combination for long journeys.

Weight

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.

Flat roads

The performances of the engine of this outfit are in general very bad and insufficient. Under favourable conditions on motorways it is possible to drive with 60 mph in the 3th gear, by giving the engine nearly full throttle. In that case the engine runs approximately 4300 rpm, this gives maybe more noise than usually accustomed For example, in a headwind or a crossover, downshift to the 2th gear. The engine runs approximately 6800 rpm (witch is maybe more noisily than usually accustomed).

Mountains

On motorway inclines the speed is slowing down and is in the 2th gear 44 mph the maximum speed. Hill starts are possible on slopes up to 8%. While driving the engine has enough power on slopes of 15% to drive.
