Performance
The engine's performance is generally very good on flat roads (performance score to compare 349 points).
Speeds of 111 mph (179 km/h) to 112 mph (181 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is a lot of power at low engine speeds (score to compare 991 points).
Higher revs (1600 rpm) are usually not necessary on flat roads, under most circumstances.
Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 10.3 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 430 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads (up to 30%). Not even on Hill starts.
On motorway inclines hardly any higher revs are needed.
A speed of 96 mph (155 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
The towing limit of the Citroen 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 0%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 0%.
The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
Recommended noseweight is 50 kg.
Stability and safety score to compare is 369 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 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.
