Actual Weights
- Compass Rallye 635: 1820 kg.
- Porsche Cayenne 3.6 V6 aut.: 2445 kg.
- Noseweight: 100 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 74%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally very good on flat roads (performance score to compare 278 points).
- Speeds of 84 mph (136 km/h) to 89 mph (143 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is a lot of power at low engine speeds (score to compare 326 points).
- Higher revs (2000 rpm) are usually not necessary on flat roads, under most circumstances.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 15 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 327 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 24%.
- On motorway inclines higher revs (2700 rpm) are needed.
- A speed of 74 mph (119 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Porsche 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.
- Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 74%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 81%.
- There is a small chance of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving. Even if the combination normally feels stable, the forces by deflection side to side are great at high speed. For drivers with knowledge of, and experience in driving a caravan it is safe to drive, but proper and careful loading is still important! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is worth considering.
- Recommended noseweight is 100 kg.
- Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
- Stability and safety score to compare is 155 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 very good.
- If the caravan is well loaded 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.
Distribute the User Payload by yourself in the caravan and the car and then find out the stability rating of your loading configuration.
