Weight

The Mitsubishi ASX 1.8 Di-D AWD with a Sterling Eccles Sport 442 with an actual weight of 1235 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Mitsubishi is in general fairly good. And also the weight of the Sterling with a User Payload (121 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Mitsubishi 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 69%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 77%.
  • The chance of snaking is relatively small at normal speed, if the caravan is well loaded.
  • Recommended noseweight is 70 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 190 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.

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

Dave P reviewed a Mitsubishi ASX 1.8 Di-D AWD:

"The ASX won’t pull a heavy caravan, as it is only rated to 1.4t. As the Eccles 442 is a small 2 birth caravan, the combination is ideal. This is the second ASX I have owned. It suites our lifestyle, has loads of space, even more if you put the rear seats down.
Not towing it gives good MPG and when towing, it drops by 15MPG. And with a press of the button, you can select 4WD or lock, for those wet pitches you have to get off when it is needed!
