Performance
Weight
The towing limit is exceeded by 40 kg!
It is not allowed to drive with this Sterckeman. Make sure the towing limit is correct.
We now give advice based on the assumption that the legal maximum towing weight is higher for your car and that the car should be allowed to tow this caravan!
The Citroen Berlingo Multispace 1.4i with a Sterckeman Starlett 370 CE with an actual weight of 940 kg is a match suitable for most journeys, sometimes with some limitations.
The motor preformance of the Citroen is in general just sufficient. And also the weight of the Sterckeman with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Noseweight: 60 kg.
Actual weight ratio: 66%.
Performance
The engine's performance is generally sufficient on flat roads (performance score to compare 149 points).
Speeds of 62 mph (100 km/h) to 69 mph (111 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is only very moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 77 points).
Slightly higher revs (3300 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 30.4 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally sufficient (score to compare 123 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads but the performance is not that great. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 10%, but do require some experience from the driver.
On motorway inclines the speed drops despite high revs.
A speed of 51 mph (82 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
The towing limit is exceeded by 40 kg (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 66%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 77%.
The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
Recommended noseweight is 60 kg.
Stability and safety score to compare is 206 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 just sufficient.
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.
