- Caravan as an example: 1090 kg.
- Peugeot 2008 1.2 PureTech 155 aut.: 1480 kg.
- Noseweight: 65 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 74%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 227 points).
- Speeds of 73 mph (118 km/h) to 79 mph (127 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is more than enough power at low engine speeds (score to compare 216 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 17.4 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 290 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 25%.
- On motorway inclines higher revs (3200 rpm) are needed.
- A speed of 65 mph (105 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Peugeot 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 74%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 85%.
- The chance of snaking is relatively small at normal speed, if the caravan is well loaded.
- Recommended noseweight is 55 - 65 kg.
- Towball limit is 48 kg (Check this on the type plate of your towbar!)
- Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).

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.
