Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Skoda 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 74%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 84%.
  • The chance of snaking is relatively small at normal speed, if the caravan is well loaded.
  • Recommended noseweight is 70 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 176 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 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

Mike Street reviewed a Skoda Octavia Combi 2.0 TDI:

"I tow a 2012 Bailey Olympus II 460/2 with an uprated full weight of 1300kg with a 2010 Skoda Octavia Estate 2.0 TDI. It is magical. Tows like a dream. I'm now in France for the third trip (new van this year) and it pulls up the steepest hills and gives 30 mpg all day long. Looking to chnge the car in January when it's 3 years old. Look at other possibilities but keep coming back to this - it's the 6th Octavia I've had so I may be biased!"
