Weight

The Audi A4 Avant 3.0 TDI Quattro with a Abbey Vogue 470 with an actual weight of 1310 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Audi is in general very good. And also the weight of the Abbey with a User Payload (198 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Audi is more than sufficient (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 66%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 74%.
  • The chance of snaking is relatively small at normal speed, if the caravan is well loaded.
  • Recommended noseweight is 75 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 197 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

Richard Ellis reviewed a Audi A4 Avant 3.0 TDI Quattro:

"Towing with my Audi A4 3.0L TDI Quattro is a pleasure to behold! Loads of power, with more than enough in reserve if needs be. With the Audi being Quattro and the AL-KO stabiliser being so good the van tows solid and as rock, no sway or snake, in fact the biggest problem I have is keeping my outfit under 60 mph on the motorway! To sum up the Audi as a tow car, “ACTUNG PANZER!!!”"
