 Performance | |  Weight |
The Nissan Juke DIG-T 115 with a Knaus Sport 400 LK with an actual weight of 1170 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.
The motor preformance of the Nissan is in general more than sufficient. And also the weight of the Knaus with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is pretty good.

- Nissan Juke DIG-T 115: 1536 kg.
- Noseweight: 70 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 76%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally fairly good on flat roads (performance score to compare 198 points).
- Speeds of 69 mph (111 km/h) to 75 mph (121 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is only moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 138 points).
- Slightly higher revs (2300 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 21.9 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally good (score to compare 203 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 (4300 rpm) are needed.
- A speed of 60 mph (96 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Nissan is sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
- If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, a B driving license is enough.
- The caravan is too heavily loaded.
- 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 89%.
- The chance of snaking is relatively small at normal speed, if the caravan is well loaded.
- Recommended noseweight is 70 kg.
- Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
- Stability and safety score to compare is 176 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.
