Weight

The Landrover Discovery 3.0 SDV6 with a Sprite Major 6 TD with an actual weight of 1459 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

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

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Landrover 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 driving license.
  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 51%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 55%.
  • The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
  • Recommended noseweight is 80 kg.
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 250 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

James reviewed a Landrover Discovery 3.0 SDV6:

"Fuel costs aside, it's true what you've heard. There's few, bar none, that can compete with this land tug. The 255ps 3.0 TDV6 ne is epic in all situations we've ever had to come across. Ours is a 2012 Disco and we pull a Sprite Major 6 TD so it's 50 (something %). If fuel costs don't worry you too much and you can afford to run one I strongly suggest you go and try one out. EPIC!"
