 Performance | |  Weight |
The Mitsubishi ASX 1.6 with a Avondale Dart 380-2 with an actual weight of 1026 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 more than sufficient. And also the weight of the Avondale with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

- Noseweight: 65 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 66%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 203 points).
- Speeds of 70 mph (113 km/h) to 76 mph (123 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is only moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 106 points).
- Slightly higher revs (2800 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 21.7 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally good (score to compare 204 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 13%, but do require some experience from the driver.
- On motorway inclines higher revs (4700 rpm) are needed.
- A speed of 60 mph (97 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
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.
- The caravan is too heavily loaded.
- 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 76%.
- The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
- Recommended noseweight is 65 kg.
- Stability and safety score to compare is 207 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 more than sufficient.
- 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.
