Performance
Weight

The Fiat Multipla 1.9 JTD with a Lunar Zenith 6 with an actual weight of 1260 kg is in general a good match and suitable for journeys on most kinds of roads, sometimes with some limitations in the mountains.

The motor preformance of the Fiat is in general more than sufficient. And also the weight of the Lunar with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is not too heavy, if the caravan is well loaded.

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Fiat 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 77%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 87%.
  • 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.
  • Recommended noseweight is 75 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 160 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.
  • If the caravan is well loaded 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.

Distribute the User Payload by yourself in the caravan and the car and then find out the stability rating of your loading configuration.

User Reviews

john reviewed a Fiat Multipla 1.9 JTD:

"i have been towing my odyssey 524 for 6 months now with the multipla.People seem 2 think the balance between the 2 isnt right. But i had an upgrade bhp unit fitted [by myself no less] and what a difference 2 the power.Sits all day in 5th gear and according 2 the law the van is 225kgs 2 heavy.The other interesting part is that im getting up 2 33-35 miles per gallon.Iv also got an avensis 2lt turbo diesel again upgraded but between the 2 the multipla wins easily.My only regret is if i decide 2 go abroad it wouldnt be legal.By the way i live in scotland and it seems ok so far .Dont know if in the event of an accident would it go against me.Any help appreciated"
