| Ssangyong Musso 2.9 D
Sterling Europa 460 | |
Actual Weights
- Sterling Europa 460: 1346 kg.
- Ssangyong Musso 2.9 D: 2133 kg.
- Noseweight: 75 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 63%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally sufficient on flat roads (performance score to compare 141 points).
- Speeds of 64 mph (104 km/h) to 71 mph (115 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is only moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 129 points).
- Slightly higher revs (2300 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 37.6 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally (very) moderate (score to compare 84 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads but the performance is not that great. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 9%, but do require some experience from the driver.
- On motorway inclines the speed drops despite high revs.
- A speed of 47 mph (75 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Ssangyong 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.
- The caravan is too heavily loaded.
- Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 63%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 70%.
- The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
- Recommended noseweight is 75 kg.
- Stability and safety score to compare is 209 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 good match, sometimes with some limitations.
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.
