 Performance | |  Weight |
The Landrover Discovery Td5 with a Sterling Europa 600 TA with an actual weight of 1534 kg is in general a good match and suitable for journeys on most kinds of roads, sometimes with some limitations in the mountains.
The motor preformance of the Landrover is in general more than sufficient. And also the weight of the Sterling with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

- In the mountains the performance is generally fairly good (score to compare 176 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 12%, but do require some experience from the driver.
- On motorway inclines higher revs (3600 rpm) are needed.
- A speed of 57 mph (92 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight

- If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, you will need a B+E driving license.
- Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 65%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 71%.
- The chance of snaking is relatively small at normal speed, if the caravan is well loaded.
- Recommended noseweight is 85 kg.
- Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
- Stability and safety score to compare is 196 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 good match, sometimes with some limitations in the mountains.
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.
