Weight

The Citroen Berlingo 1.6 e-HDi aut. with a Sterling Europa 460 with an actual weight of 1280 kg is a match suitable for most journeys, sometimes with some limitations.

The motor preformance of the Citroen is in general sufficient. And also the weight of the Sterling with a User Payload (134 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is pretty good.

Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Citroen 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 74%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 85%.
  • 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 75 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 171 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 sufficient.
  • If the caravan is well loaded safe driving is possible.
  • It's a good match, sometimes with some limitations.

 

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

paul hancock reviewed a Citroen Berlingo 1.6 e-HDi aut.:

"I towed 1994 sterling Europa 450 classic es with berlingo. The performance exceeded my expectations did 326 miles hardly noticed the van on back . little slow on accelerating away but once at cruising speed it is a lot better than it says in the book/it did 37 mpg at 56 mph on a windy day never had a wobble. Strong car however watch out stop/start functional sometimes you. Have to be more patience to make it work better."
