- Higher revs (1600 rpm) are usually not necessary on flat roads, under most circumstances.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 12.3 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 365 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads (up to 30%). Not even on Hill starts.
- On motorway inclines hardly any higher revs are needed.
- A speed of 80 mph (129 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).
- If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, you will need a B+E driving license.
- The caravan is too heavily loaded.
- Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 42%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 45%.
- The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
- Recommended noseweight is 75 kg.
- Stability and safety score to compare is 293 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 very 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.
Distribute the User Payload by yourself in the caravan and the car and then find out the stability rating of your loading configuration.
