The Mercedes-Benz B 220d and the Caravan as an example of a laden weight of 1380 kg is an excellent combination for all journeys on all kinds of roads.
Weight
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.
Flat roads
The performances of the engine of this outfit are in general very good. Under all conditions on motorways it is possible to drive with 60 mph in the 7th gear. In that case the engine runs approximately 1800 rpm, this gives maybe more noise than usually accustomed Maybe the engine is not running smoothly at low revs so it is better to shiftdown to the 6th gear, the engine runs in that case 2300 rpm (witch is maybe more noisily than usually accustomed). In a headwind or for example on a crossover there is no need to downshift immediately.Mountains
On most motorways inclines (1:20) driving is easily possible in the 6th gear with 50 mph and even full throttle with 69 mph but maybe the engine is running better by somewhat more revs in the 5th gear). In the 5th gear the top speed is 76 mph (3788 rpm). Hill starts are possible on steep slopes, theoretical up to 32%, if the wheels have sufficient traction. While driving the engine has enough power to drive on every normal road.
Attention: This car can easily drive much faster with the caravan than is safe. So always keep an eye on your speed!
