It is not allowed to drive with this Coachman.
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 Renault Laguna Fase II 1.9 dCi with a Coachman Laser 640/4 with an actual weight of 1825 kg is not a recommended match to drive.

The motor preformance of the Renault is in general more than sufficient. But the weight of the Coachman with a User Payload (159 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is too heavy for long distances. Remember to load your caravan correctly, insuring that the noseweight of the caravan is sufficient and the weight is distributed properly. But even so, a starting caravan driver is better off choosing a smaller and less heavy caravan!

Weight

  • The towing limit is exceeded by 325 kg (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 111%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 126%.
  • The risk of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving is great. It is not recommended to drive with this outfit for long distances!
  • Recommended noseweight is 100 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 50 mph (80 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 33 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.
  • Proper and careful loading is essential!
  • It's not a recomanded match. Only if you are an experienced (caravan) driver it is posible to drive carfully.

 

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

mike.mail@tiscali.co.uk reviewed a Renault Laguna Fase II 1.9 dCi:

"I don't actually own this caravan but do have the car. My car has a towing limit (car with driver and fuel ONLY) of 1350kg yet Towcar.eu allows it as a match for this much heavier caravan - beware! "
