The towing limit is exceeded by 30 kg!
It is not allowed to drive with this Eriba.
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 Skoda Fabia Combi 1.4 16v with a Eriba Touring Puck 230 GT with an actual weight of 830 kg is in general a good match and suitable for journeys on most kinds of roads, sometimes with some limitations in the mountains.
The motor preformance of the Skoda is in general more than sufficient. And also the weight of the Eriba with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

- Speeds of 73 mph (117 km/h) to 79 mph (127 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is sufficient power at low engine speeds (score to compare 158 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 25.4 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally fairly good (score to compare 187 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 11%, but do require some experience from the driver.
- On motorway inclines the speed drops despite high revs.
- A speed of 59 mph (95 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit is exceeded by 30 kg (check this in your vehicle documents).
- If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, a B driving license is enough.
- The caravan is too heavily loaded.
- Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 61%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 71%.
- The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
- Recommended noseweight is 60 kg.
- Stability and safety score to compare is 240 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 more than sufficient.
- Safe driving is possible.
- It's a good match, sometimes with some limitations in the mountains.
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.
