The Opel Corsa 1.3 CDTi with a Caravan leeg: 750 kg with an actual weight of 950 kg is a match suitable for most journeys, sometimes with some limitations.
The motor preformance of the Opel is in general just sufficient. And also the weight of the Caravan with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Actual Weights
- Caravan leeg: 750 kg: 950 kg.
- Opel Corsa 1.3 CDTi: 1405 kg.
- Noseweight: 60 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 68%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally sufficient on flat roads (performance score to compare 145 points).
- Speeds of 61 mph (98 km/h) to 68 mph (109 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is only very moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 96 points).
- Slightly higher revs (2500 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 30.1 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally sufficient (score to compare 123 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads but the performance is not that great. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 11%, but do require some experience from the driver.
- On motorway inclines the speed drops despite high revs.
- A speed of 50 mph (81 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Opel 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 60 kg.
- Stability and safety score to compare is 203 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 just sufficient.
- Safe driving is possible.
- It's a good match, sometimes with some limitations.
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.
