- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 13%, but do require some experience from the driver.
- On motorway inclines the speed drops despite high revs.
- A speed of 54 mph (87 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Citroen is 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 72%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 83%.
- The chance of snaking is relatively small at normal speed, if the caravan is well loaded.
- Recommended noseweight is 65 kg.

- 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.
