The Mazda 5 2.0 with a Weinsberg CaraOne 400 LK with an actual weight of 1090 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.
The motor preformance of the Mazda is in general more than sufficient. And also the weight of the Weinsberg with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

- Noseweight: 65 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 65%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 211 points).
- Speeds of 71 mph (115 km/h) to 78 mph (125 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is only moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 126 points).
- Slightly higher revs (2600 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 20.6 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally good (score to compare 222 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 14%, but do require some experience from the driver.
- On motorway inclines higher revs (4000 rpm) are needed.
- A speed of 62 mph (100 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Mazda is 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 65%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 73%.
- The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
- Recommended noseweight is 65 kg.
- Stability and safety score to compare is 211 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.
- 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.
