Verdict

The Mercedes-Benz 240 GD and the Caravan as an example of a laden weight of 1740 kg is not a recommended combination to drive.

Weight

The chance of snaking is relatively small at normal speed, if the caravan is well loaded.

Flat roads

The performances of the engine of this outfit are in general bad but for your use maybe sufficient. Under favourable conditions on motorways it is possible to drive with 60 mph in the 3th gear, by giving the engine just a bit of throttle. In that case the engine runs approximately 5100 rpm, this gives maybe more noise than usually accustomed For example, in a headwind or a crossover, downshift to the 2th gear. The engine runs approximately 8600 rpm (witch is maybe more noisily than usually accustomed).

Mountains

On motorway inclines the speed is slowing down and is in the 2th gear 32 mph the maximum speed. Hill starts are a bit difficult and not possible on slopes more than 7%. While driving the engine has enough power on slopes of 15% to drive.

Results

The main details in a list. Ideal for comparing different combinations with one another, for example your present with a new one.
