Weight

  • The towing limit of the Lexus is more than sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
  • The car is too heavily loaded.
  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 64%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 71%.
  • The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
  • Recommended noseweight is 75 kg.
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 204 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

Alan reviewed a Lexus RX 300:

"I've been driving this combo since mid 2018, on eight trips thus far. Even fully laden the RX manages the Lunar very well indeed. Plenty of grunt for the hills and the occasional overtake, 18-19 mpg at 55 mph (does drop precipitously at anything much faster). To accommodate the 75kg noseweight we put the gas bottles in the back of the car and load the 'van carefully - it's quite stable under most conditions up to around 60-65 mph and no problem at all under even sharp braking."
