 Performance | |  Weight |
The Honda CR-V 2.0 16v with a Lunar Stellar with an actual weight of 1276 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 more than sufficient. And also the weight of the Lunar with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is good.

Actual Weights
- Lunar Stellar: 1276 kg.
- Honda CR-V 2.0 16v: 1779 kg.
- Noseweight: 75 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 72%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 218 points).
- Speeds of 73 mph (117 km/h) to 79 mph (127 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is only moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 122 points).
- Slightly higher revs (2600 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 19.9 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally good (score to compare 235 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 14%, but do require some experience from the driver.
- On motorway inclines higher revs (4400 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 more than sufficient (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 72%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 81%.
- The chance of snaking is relatively small at normal speed, if the caravan is well loaded.
- Recommended noseweight is 65 - 75 kg.
- Towball limit is 60 kg (Check this on the type plate of your towbar!)
- Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
- Stability and safety score to compare is 182 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 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.
