Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Citroen is more than 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 0%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 0%.
  • The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
  • Recommended noseweight is 50 kg.
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 368 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 very good.
  • 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

Ray Rowe reviewed a Citroen Xsara Picasso 1.6 HDI:

"The 1.6 Picasso is an excellent tow car. With a wheel at each corner and a noseweight of 80kg stability is high at motorway speeds (60mph). Over most of the motorway network 5th gear may be held, but gradients require 4th or 3rd to maintain reasonable progress. The car is very versatile and can easily carry 2 aquarolls and a wastemaster in the rear with seats up. With only 2 people in the car, an awning and satellite dish can easily be carries reducing the towed weight. I am very pleased with this car."
