 Performance | |  Weight |
The Mitsubishi L200 2.5 TD with a Elddis Crusader Super Scirocco with an actual weight of 1807 kg is a match suitable for most journeys, sometimes with some limitations.
The motor preformance of the Mitsubishi is in general sufficient. But the weight of the Elddis with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is heavy. Try to move luggage from the caravan to the car and drive not too fast. Remember to load your caravan correctly, insuring that the noseweight of the caravan is sufficient and the weight is distributed properly. But even so, a starting caravan driver is better off choosing a smaller and less heavy caravan!

Actual Weights
- Elddis Crusader Super Scirocco: 1807 kg.
- Mitsubishi L200 2.5 TD: 2094 kg.
- Noseweight: 100 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 86%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally fairly good on flat roads (performance score to compare 158 points).
- Speeds of 67 mph (108 km/h) to 74 mph (119 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is only moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 148 points).
- Slightly higher revs (2000 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 35 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally sufficient (score to compare 106 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 10%, but do require some experience from the driver.
- On motorway inclines the speed drops despite high revs.
- A speed of 49 mph (79 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Mitsubishi is more than sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
- The caravan is too heavily loaded.
- Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 86%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 95%.
- The risk of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving is great. Even if the combination normally feels stable, the forces by deflection side to side are so great that it could be dangerous. Only if the driver has a lot of knowledge and experience in driving a caravan it should be safe to drive slowly. Proper and careful loading is essential! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is definitely recommended.
- Recommended noseweight is 100 kg.
- Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
- Stability and safety score to compare is 108 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 sufficient.
- Proper and careful loading is essential!
- 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.
