The Honda CR-V 2.0i aut. with a Kip Kompakt 37 EK Special with an actual weight of 950 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.
The motor preformance of the Honda is in general fairly good. And also the weight of the Kip with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Performance
The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 240 points).
Speeds of 78 mph (126 km/h) to 84 mph (135 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is more than enough power at low engine speeds (score to compare 211 points).
Slightly higher revs (2100 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 19.9 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 257 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 15%.
On motorway inclines higher revs (3500 rpm) are needed.
A speed of 66 mph (106 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
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 54%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 61%.
The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
Recommended noseweight is 60 kg.
Stability and safety score to compare is 252 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.
