The towing limit is unknown to us. Please check the towing limit!The Fiat Linea 1.4 8v with a Caravan 1000 kg with an actual weight of 1200 kg is a match suitable for most journeys, sometimes with some limitations.
The motor preformance of the Fiat is in general very moderate but for your use maybe sufficient. The weight of the Caravan with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), kgis quite heavy, but no problem if the caravan is well loaded and the driving speed is not too fast.

Actual Weights
- Caravan 1000 kg: 1200 kg.
- Fiat Linea 1.4 8v: 1460 kg.
- Noseweight: 70 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 82%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally sufficient on flat roads (performance score to compare 119 points).
- Speeds of 58 mph (93 km/h) to 65 mph (105 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is only very moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 45 points).
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 35.4 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally (very) moderate (score to compare 84 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 9%, but do require some experience from the driver.
- On motorway inclines the speed drops despite high revs.
- A speed of 47 mph (75 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Fiat is sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
- The car is too heavily loaded.
- Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 82%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is INF%.
- 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 70 kg.
- Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
- Stability and safety score to compare is 140 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 moderate but for your use maybe sufficient.
- If the caravan is well loaded 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.
