 Performance | | Weight |
The Landrover Defender 110 Td5 with a Elddis Crusader Super Storm with an actual weight of 1877 kg is a match suitable for most journeys, sometimes with some limitations.
The motor preformance of the Landrover is in general just sufficient. 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 quite heavy. Proper and careful loading is essential and don't drive too fast. Remember to load your caravan correctly, insuring that the noseweight of the caravan is sufficient and the weight is distributed properly!

Actual Weights
- Elddis Crusader Super Storm: 1877 kg.
- Landrover Defender 110 Td5: 2254 kg.
- Noseweight: 100 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 83%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally sufficient on flat roads (performance score to compare 147 points).
- Speeds of 64 mph (103 km/h) to 73 mph (117 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is only moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 144 points).
- Slightly higher revs (2000 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 34.2 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally (very) moderate (score to compare 83 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads but the performance is not that great. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 10%, but do require some experience from the driver.
- On motorway inclines the speed drops despite high revs.
- A speed of 46 mph (74 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Landrover is more than sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
- If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, you will need a B+E driving license.
- The caravan is too heavily loaded.
- Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 83%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 91%.
- The risk of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving exist. 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 knowledge of and experience in driving a caravan it should be safe to drive. Proper and careful loading is essential! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is recommended.
- Recommended noseweight is 100 kg.
- Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
- Stability and safety score to compare is 116 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 just sufficient.
- Proper and careful loading is still important!
- It's a good match, sometimes with some limitations.
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.
