Weight

The Chevrolet Orlando 2.0 VCDi with a Lunar Clubman SB with an actual weight of 1460 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Chevrolet is in general good. And also the weight of the Lunar with a User Payload (155 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is not too heavy, if the caravan is well loaded.

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Chevrolet is sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
  • If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, you will need a B+E (or B96) driving license.
  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 76%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 84%.
  • 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 80 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 153 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 good.
  • If the caravan is well loaded 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

Alan Storey reviewed a Chevrolet Orlando 2.0 VCDi:

"We have had our Orlando for 3 years from new, the engine is a genuine 163 BHP non of the evap valves. The engine is smooth with power coming in immediately as there is no delay in turbo boost. We towed an Elddis Avante 540 for most of the Orlando\'s time, it would eat up the miles effortlessly. We now have the Lunar which again the Orlando tows effortlessly just eats up the miles. It\'s sad this car has never featured in magazine articles, if it had maybe Chevrolet would not have pulled out of uk as more cars would have been sold."
