Landrover Freelander 2.0 di Fleetwood Colchester 470
Actual Weights
Fleetwood Colchester 470: 1255 kg.
Landrover Freelander 2.0 di: 1755 kg.
Noseweight: 75 kg.
Actual weight ratio: 72%.
Performance
The engine's performance is generally fairly good on flat roads (performance score to compare 169 points).
Speeds of 66 mph (107 km/h) to 73 mph (117 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is only moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 122 points).
Slightly higher revs (2100 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 29.3 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally sufficient (score to compare 148 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 12%, but do require some experience from the driver.
On motorway inclines the speed drops despite high revs.
A speed of 53 mph (86 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
The towing limit of the Landrover is more than sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
The car is too heavily loaded.
Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 72%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 82%.
The chance of snaking is relatively small at normal speed, if the caravan is well loaded.
Recommended noseweight is 75 kg.
Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
Stability and safety score to compare is 180 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 sufficient.
Safe driving is possible.
It's a good match, sometimes with some limitations in the mountains.
Influence of User Payload on stability
Weight distribution and noseweight are vital in obtaining a stable caravan.
