The towing limit is exceeded by 321 kg!
It is not allowed to drive with this Coachman.
Make sure the towing limit is correct.
We now give advice based on the assumption that the legal maximum towing weight is higher for your car and that the car should be allowed to tow this caravan!
The Chrysler Grand Voyager 2.8 CRD with a Coachman Laser 655/6 with an actual weight of 1921 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.
The motor preformance of the Chrysler is in general fairly good. But the weight of the Coachman with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is quite heavy. Proper and careful loading is essential and don't drive too fast. Remember to load your caravan correctly, insuring that the noseweight of the caravan is sufficient and the weight is distributed properly!

Actual Weights
- Coachman Laser 655/6: 1921 kg.
- Chrysler Grand Voyager 2.8 CRD: 2360 kg.
- Noseweight: 100 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 81%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 210 points).
- Speeds of 74 mph (119 km/h) to 79 mph (128 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is more than enough power at low engine speeds (score to compare 236 points).
- Higher revs (1600 rpm) are usually not necessary on flat roads, under most circumstances.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 25.1 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally good (score to compare 204 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 14%.
- On motorway inclines higher revs (3400 rpm) are needed.
- A speed of 60 mph (96 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit is exceeded by 321 kg (check this in your vehicle documents).
- If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, you will need a B+E driving license.
- The caravan is too heavily loaded.
- Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 81%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 89%.
- The risk of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving exist. Even if the combination normally feels stable, the forces by deflection side to side are so great that it could be dangerous. Only if the driver has knowledge of and experience in driving a caravan it should be safe to drive. Proper and careful loading is essential! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is recommended.
- Recommended noseweight is 100 kg.
- Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
- Stability and safety score to compare is 122 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 fairly good.
- Proper and careful loading is still important!
- 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.
