Weight

  • The towing limit of the Kia is 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 68%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 79%.
  • The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
  • Recommended noseweight is 50 - 65 kg.
  • Towball limit is 50 kg (Check this on the type plate of your towbar!)
  • 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 fairly 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 Wareing reviewed a Kia Rio 1.5 CRDi vgt:

"My Kia Rio Strike 1.5 diesel tows my Eriba Triton 410/BS almost effortlessly in a wide range of road conditions. My previous towcar was a Citroen Berlingo 2.0L diesel and, although its load capacity was much greater, we've found the Kia more comfortable and economical. It will pull top gear all day on motorways with the 'van. Towball download max. is only 50kg but this is easily achieved."
