Weight

The Chevrolet Tahoe 5.3 V8 aut. with a Kabe Royal Hacienda 880 with an actual weight of 2340 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Chevrolet is in general good. But the weight of the Kabe with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is heavy. Try to move luggage from the caravan to the car and drive not too fast. Remember to load your caravan correctly, insuring that the noseweight of the caravan is sufficient and the weight is distributed properly. But even so, a starting caravan driver is better off choosing a smaller and less heavy caravan!

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Chevrolet is more than sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
  • If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, you will need a B+E driving license.
  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 86%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 93%.
  • The risk of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving is great. Even if the combination normally feels stable, the forces by deflection side to side are so great that it could be dangerous. Only if the driver has a lot of knowledge and experience in driving a caravan it should be safe to drive slowly. Proper and careful loading is essential! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is definitely recommended.
  • Recommended noseweight is 125 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 50 mph (80 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 104 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 good.
  • Proper and careful loading is essential!
  • 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.

User Reviews

Michael Strandberg reviewed a Chevrolet Tahoe 5.3 V8 aut.:

"I agree with most of the conclusions shown in the "twoing report".
One thing that is compleatly wrong in the repport, is that the Tahoe canīt tow in 4th gear @ 80km/h, yhe truth is the oposite, it tows wery well in 4th gear.
Add to that that there is a two/haul mode selectable in the transmission with a press of a button.

I am wery pleased with my outfit, stable and powerful.
(overtaking lorries is hardy felt in the Tahoe, wery good.)
