Lunar Quasar 524: 1310 kg.
Hyundai Santa Fe 2.0 CRDi VGT 4WD: 1993 kg.
Noseweight: 75 kg.
Actual weight ratio: 66%.
Performance
The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 215 points).
Speeds of 74 mph (119 km/h) to 79 mph (128 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is more than enough power at low engine speeds (score to compare 213 points).
Slightly higher revs (1700 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 23.1 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally good (score to compare 218 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 15%, but do require some experience from the driver.
On motorway inclines higher revs (3000 rpm) are needed.
A speed of 61 mph (98 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
The towing limit of the Hyundai 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 (or B96) driving license.
Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 66%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 73%.
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 197 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 fairly 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.
