- Citroen Xantia 1.9 TD: 1582 kg.
- Noseweight: 65 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 69%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally fairly good on flat roads (performance score to compare 159 points).
- Speeds of 63 mph (101 km/h) to 69 mph (111 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is only very moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 76 points).
- Slightly higher revs (2400 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 27.3 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally sufficient (score to compare 144 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 12%, but do require some experience from the driver.
- On motorway inclines the speed drops despite high revs.
- A speed of 53 mph (85 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Citroen is more than 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 69%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 79%.
- The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
- Recommended noseweight is 65 kg.
- Stability and safety score to compare is 197 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 just sufficient.
- 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.
