 Performance | |  Weight |
The Landrover Discovery Td5 aut. with a Coachman Pastiche 460/2 with an actual weight of 1500 kg is a match suitable for most journeys, sometimes with some limitations.
The motor preformance of the Landrover is in general more than sufficient. And also the weight of the Coachman with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Actual Weights
- Coachman Pastiche 460/2: 1500 kg.
- Landrover Discovery Td5 aut.: 2455 kg.
- Noseweight: 80 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 61%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally fairly good on flat roads (performance score to compare 182 points).
- Speeds of 70 mph (113 km/h) to 76 mph (123 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is more than enough power at low engine speeds (score to compare 213 points).
- Slightly higher revs (1700 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 30.4 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally fairly good (score to compare 151 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 from 11% to 12%.
- On motorway inclines higher revs (3500 rpm) are needed.
- A speed of 54 mph (87 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 (or B96) driving license.
- The caravan is too heavily loaded.
- Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 61%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 67%.
- The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
- Recommended noseweight is 80 kg.
- Stability and safety score to compare is 212 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.
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.
