 Performance | |  Weight |
The Honda CR-V 2.2i-CTDi with a Coachman VIP 460/2 with an actual weight of 1455 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.
The motor preformance of the Honda is in general fairly good. And also the weight of the Coachman with a User Payload (125 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is not too heavy, if the caravan is well loaded.

Actual Weights
- Coachman VIP 460/2: 1455 kg.
- Honda CR-V 2.2i-CTDi: 1892 kg.
- Noseweight: 80 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 77%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 222 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 228 points).
- Slightly higher revs (1700 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 20.4 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally good (score to compare 244 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 17%.
- On motorway inclines higher revs (2700 rpm) are needed.
- A speed of 63 mph (102 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Honda is 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.
- Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 77%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 86%.
- 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 80 kg.
- Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
- Stability and safety score to compare is 153 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.
- 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.
