Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Honda 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 69%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 79%.
  • The chance of snaking is relatively small at normal speed, if the caravan is well loaded.
  • Recommended noseweight is 75 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 188 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

Pete Blackburn reviewed a Honda CR-V 1.6i-DTEC 4WD:

"I'm one of the few people happy to tow on the upper limit of what is acceptable (UK legal of course). The car only having a 1.6 diesel engine I was apprehensive about its capabilities, but have been surprised at how well this car tows and how stable and planted it feels. The van has the alko stabiliser
Gear changes are definitely needed, even on motorway gradients but this is primarily down to the fact that the car has a 6 speed box and 6th is for very low rpm fuel efficient cruising and not lugging a 8ft wide, twin axle beast of a caravan. Fuel return for my outfit is about 24mpg and 47mpg combined solo.
The punchy 1.6 160bhp engine feels capable and the all wheel drive is reassuring if the roads are wet or icy. "
