Performance
- The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 229 points).
- Speeds of 74 mph (119 km/h) to 79 mph (128 km/h) are often quite possible.

- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads (up to 25%). Not even on Hill starts.
- On motorway inclines higher revs (2600 rpm) are needed.
- A speed of 65 mph (105 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.

- 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 70%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 80%.
- The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
- Recommended noseweight is 55 - 70 kg.

- 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.
