Performance
Weight

The Ssangyong Musso 2.9 TD with a Bessacarr Cameo 645 with an actual weight of 1769 kg is a match suitable for most journeys, sometimes with some limitations.

The motor preformance of the Ssangyong is in general sufficient. But the weight of the Bessacarr with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is quite heavy, but no problem if the caravan is well loaded and the driving speed is not too fast.

Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Ssangyong 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 81%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 89%.
  • There is a small chance of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving. Even if the combination normally feels stable, the forces by deflection side to side are great at high speed. For drivers with knowledge of, and experience in driving a caravan it is safe to drive, but proper and careful loading is still important! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is worth considering.
  • Recommended noseweight is 95 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 143 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 sufficient.
  • If the caravan is well loaded 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.

User Reviews

victor reviewed a Ssangyong Musso 2.9 TD:

"have towed up hill and down dale with the musso without any problems, with a few modifications and at no cost mussos can give an easy 140+bhp and will pull harder from lower rpm. just by turning a couple of screws on the fuel pump and blocking the erg valve. This car will also run without modification on cooking oil used or new.as you can see I am a Musso fan.on the downside its a bit bouncy and loud on the motorway and ugly buy a good one and it will go on for years........"
