Weight

The Peugeot 308 SW 2.0 HDiF with a Avondale Dart 510-5 with an actual weight of 1180 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Peugeot is in general fairly good. And also the weight of the Avondale with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Peugeot is more than sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
  • If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, a B driving license is enough.
  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 64%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 72%.
  • The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
  • Recommended noseweight is 70 kg.
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 209 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 fairly good.
  • 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.

User Reviews

Mark Stafford reviewed a Peugeot 308 SW 2.0 HDiF:

"Excellent car for towing. Average fuel consumption over 750 miles of towing was 32mpg.

You hardly know you have a caravan on the back until you look in the mirror (or forget to push down the Alko stabiliser handle before setting off, as I did on the way home)"
