Hyundai Trajet 2.7i aut. Elddis Crusader Super Scirocco
Performance
Weight
The Hyundai Trajet 2.7i aut. with a Elddis Crusader Super Scirocco with an actual weight of 1807 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.
The motor preformance of the Hyundai is in general fairly good. But the weight of the Elddis with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is heavy. Try to move luggage from the caravan to the car and drive not too fast. Remember to load your caravan correctly, insuring that the noseweight of the caravan is sufficient and the weight is distributed properly. But even so, a starting caravan driver is better off choosing a smaller and less heavy caravan!

Hyundai Trajet 2.7i aut. Elddis Crusader Super Scirocco
Actual Weights
Elddis Crusader Super Scirocco: 1807 kg.
Hyundai Trajet 2.7i aut.: 2052 kg.
Noseweight: 100 kg.
Actual weight ratio: 88%.
Performance
The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 227 points).
Speeds of 76 mph (123 km/h) to 82 mph (132 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is sufficient power at low engine speeds (score to compare 186 points).
Slightly higher revs (2200 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 22.1 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally good (score to compare 230 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 13%.
On motorway inclines higher revs (3900 rpm) are needed.
A speed of 63 mph (102 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
The towing limit of the Hyundai 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.
The caravan is too heavily loaded.
Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 88%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 98%.
The risk of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving is great. 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 a lot of knowledge and experience in driving a caravan it should be safe to drive slowly. Proper and careful loading is essential! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is definitely recommended.
Recommended noseweight is 90 - 100 kg.
Towball limit is 76 kg (Check this on the type plate of your towbar!)
Safe speed up to 50 mph (80 km/h).
Stability and safety score to compare is 100 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 essential!
It's a perfect match!
Influence of User Payload on stability
Weight distribution and noseweight are vital in obtaining a stable caravan.
