Weight

The Citroen C-Crosser 2.2 Hdi with a Avondale Dart 510-5 with an actual weight of 1180 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

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

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Citroen 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 58%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 65%.
  • The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
  • Recommended noseweight is 70 kg.
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 232 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

Michael reviewed a Citroen C-Crosser 2.2 Hdi:

"I've had a C-Crosser for two years now, before that I had a Mk3 Mondeo, the C-Crosser is technically more powerful but it's also a heavier vehicle than the Mondeo, the C-Crosser accelerates well but I think the Mondeo pulled harder. The C-Crosser is very stable and the switchable 2/4wd is fantastic, it's managed to pull an Avondale dart 510/5 up-hill out of a festival quagmire with little effort, I wouldn't go back to the Mondeo. It's a comfy car and quite capable on and off road, not a true off-roader but competent in muddy fields. Look out for worn dual mass flywheels and clutchs slipping at about 2000rpm in 3rd gear and above when pushed hard."
