Fiat Doblo 1.9 MultiJet: 1640 kg.
Noseweight: 70 kg.
Actual weight ratio: 70%.
Performance
The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 216 points).
Speeds of 74 mph (120 km/h) to 81 mph (130 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is sufficient power at low engine speeds (score to compare 190 points).
Slightly higher revs (1800 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 23.7 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally good (score to compare 207 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 (3300 rpm) are needed.
A speed of 61 mph (98 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
The towing limit of the Fiat is sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, a B driving license is enough.
Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 70%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 81%.
The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
Recommended noseweight is 70 kg.
Stability and safety score to compare is 191 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.
Safe driving is possible.
It's a perfect match!
Influence of User Payload on stability
Weight distribution and noseweight are vital in obtaining a stable caravan.
