The towing limit is exceeded by 115 kg!
It is not allowed to drive with this Lunar.
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 Nissan Note 1.5 dCi with a Lunar Ariva with an actual weight of 1015 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.
The motor preformance of the Nissan is in general 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 very good.

- 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 69%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 80%.

- Recommended noseweight is 50 - 65 kg.

- 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.
