The Chrysler Voyager 2.5 CRD with a Abbey Aventura 330 with an actual weight of 1423 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.
The motor preformance of the Chrysler is in general fairly good. And also the weight of the Abbey with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Actual weight ratio: 64%.
Performance
The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 228 points).
Speeds of 76 mph (122 km/h) to 81 mph (131 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is more than enough power at low engine speeds (score to compare 226 points).
Slightly higher revs (1700 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 20.7 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally good (score to compare 241 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 15%, but do require some experience from the driver.
On motorway inclines higher revs (2900 rpm) are needed.
A speed of 64 mph (103 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
The towing limit of the Chrysler is 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 64%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 70%.
The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
Recommended noseweight is 80 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 fairly 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.
