Actual Weights
- Sterling Europa 565: 1576 kg.
- Nissan Murano - 3.5 V6 cvt aut.: 2165 kg.
- Noseweight: 85 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 73%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally very good on flat roads (performance score to compare 267 points).
- Speeds of 82 mph (133 km/h) to 87 mph (141 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is a lot of power at low engine speeds (score to compare 299 points).
- Higher revs (2000 rpm) are usually not necessary on flat roads, under most circumstances.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 16.2 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 308 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 18%.
- On motorway inclines higher revs (3000 rpm) are needed.
- A speed of 72 mph (116 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit is exceeded by 76 kg (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.
- Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 73%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 80%.
- There is a small chance of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving. Even if the combination normally feels stable, the forces by deflection side to side are great at high speed. For drivers with knowledge of, and experience in driving a caravan it is safe to drive, but proper and careful loading is still important! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is worth considering.
- Recommended noseweight is 85 kg.
- Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
- Stability and safety score to compare is 163 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 very good.
- If the caravan is well loaded 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.
