The towing limit is exceeded by 232 kg!
It is not allowed to drive with this Abbey.
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 Nissan Primera 2.2 DCT with a Abbey Spectrum 540 with an actual weight of 1732 kg is not a recommended match for long journeys.

The motor preformance of the Nissan is in general more than sufficient. But the weight of the Abbey with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is too heavy and not recommended for long distances. 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!

Weight

  • The towing limit is exceeded by 232 kg (check this in your vehicle documents).
  • The car is too heavily loaded.
  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 99%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 111%.
  • The risk of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving is great. It is not recommended to drive with this outfit for long distances!
  • Recommended noseweight is 95 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 50 mph (80 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 58 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 more than sufficient.
  • Proper and careful loading is essential!
  • It's a moderate match, only for experienced (caravan) drivers and not recommended for long journeys.

 

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.

User Reviews

Tony Price reviewed a Nissan Primera 2.2 DCT:

"The Nissan Primera has been excellent at towing my ABI Dawnstar I also have to keep checking my speed and the camera that engages with reverse gear makes hitching up very easy."
