Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Nissan 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 64%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 74%.
  • The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
  • Recommended noseweight is 65 kg.
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 215 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 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

Vic Court reviewed a Nissan Pulsar 1.5 dCi:

"Hill starts are easily achieved and the handbrake holds well too. When towing, you have to remember that the caravan is on the back as it is possible to get carried away on dual carriageways etc and speed well above the 60mph limit.
On motorways I have to use the gears as at 60mph the car is sitting in 6th gear at very low revs, or 5th gear at a more comfortable rev level. Therefore I tend to cruise a 65 (which is probably around 62 really as my speedo reads slightly high) to reduce gear changing on slight inclines.
On A roads etc the car goes down to 4th on hills, sometimes 3rd and I am usually in 5th cruising at 50+mph.
Overall, the outfit performs very well, the car feels powerful enough at all times and the gear changing is not an issue. MPG varies with the urgency used in driving style, usually somewhere between 37 - 42 MPG.
