Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Volkswagen is more than 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 0%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 0%.
  • The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
  • Recommended noseweight is 50 kg.
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 367 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.

User Reviews

brian dodd reviewed a Volkswagen Golf 1.4:

"I used my1.4 mark 6 six golf, to pull a 1992 elddis mistral 2 berth from glasgow to fife. Was my first time towing a caravan so i was a bit nervous that the car wasnt powerful enough,According to vw the caravan was already 250kg overweight but the car towed caravan with no problems, uphill was a bit of a struggle but 3rd gear manages it. will sit in 4th gear no problem, and fifth gear only really on straight roads.
