The towing limit is exceeded by 22 kg!
It is not allowed to drive with this Dethleffs.
Make sure the towing limit is correct.
We now give advice based on the assumption that the legal maximum towing weight is higher for your car and that the car should be allowed to tow this caravan!
The Mitsubishi Lancer Wagon 1.6 with a Dethleffs Camper 430 T with an actual weight of 1222 kg is in general a good match and suitable for journeys on most kinds of roads, sometimes with some limitations in the mountains.
The motor preformance of the Mitsubishi is in general just sufficient. And also the weight of the Dethleffs with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is not too heavy, if the caravan is well loaded.

Actual Weights
- Dethleffs Camper 430 T: 1222 kg.
- Mitsubishi Lancer Wagon 1.6: 1550 kg.
- Noseweight: 70 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 79%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally fairly good on flat roads (performance score to compare 159 points).
- Speeds of 63 mph (102 km/h) to 69 mph (112 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is only very moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 72 points).
- Slightly higher revs (3200 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 28.4 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally sufficient (score to compare 132 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 52 mph (84 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit is exceeded by 22 kg (check this in your vehicle documents).
- If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, a B driving license is enough.
- The caravan is too heavily loaded.
- Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 79%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 91%.
- 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 150 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 just sufficient.
- If the caravan is well loaded safe driving is possible.
- It's a good match, sometimes with some limitations in the mountains.
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.
