Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the BMW is more than sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
  • If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, you will need a B+E (or B96) driving license.
  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 70%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 76%.
  • 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 85 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 176 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 very 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

Linas reviewed a BMW X3 xDrive M40d:

"(510 TK highlight: increased inner height for tall people).

510 TK is a very comfortable place to have holidays in with kids. It has two living spaces with two tables and the garage is huge. Also, this is one of the few caravans available for tall people because of its increased overall height!

It is even possible to fit two adult + two kids bikes in the garage (with the upper bunk bed lifted), assuming you loosen the bikes' steering handles and put them in parallel to the bike. But it is time consuming to do and difficult to tie down (as there are no hooks), hence it's a lot easier to put the bikes on the car's roof rack.

510 TK doesn't feel heavy while towing, but its dimensions are considerable, so you have to be mindful of objects on the inner side of sharp turns, think of how the rear end will swing out and be mindful of the height near trees. Though if you're travelling with bikes on the car's roof, you have to be mindful of the height either way."
