Weight

The Skoda Superb 2.5 V6 TDI with a Coachman VIP 460/2 with an actual weight of 1455 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Skoda is in general fairly good. And also the weight of the Coachman with a User Payload (125 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is not too heavy, if the caravan is well loaded.

Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Skoda is sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
  • The car is too heavily loaded.
  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 79%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 88%.
  • There is a small chance of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving. Even if the combination normally feels stable, the forces by deflection side to side are great at high speed. For drivers with knowledge of, and experience in driving a caravan it is safe to drive, but proper and careful loading is still important! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is worth considering.
  • Recommended noseweight is 80 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 145 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.
  • If the caravan is well loaded 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

A. Barnett reviewed a Skoda Superb 2.5 V6 TDI:

"This my second Superb 2.5TDI but this one is an Auto. The manual gearbox is the best option for towing as you have an extra gear but the Auto still tows great,very relaxed!. I have added MAD spring assistors to mine as fully loaded with my caravan and bikes on the rear and Dinghy on top it is a little low at the rear but this solved that issue. A great tow car and very comfy too. "
