The towing limit is exceeded by 285 kg!
It is not allowed to drive with this Bessacarr.
Make sure the towing limit is correct.
We now give advice based on the assumption that the legal maximum towing weight is higher for your car and that the car should be allowed to tow this caravan!
The Lada Niva 1.7 with a Bessacarr Cameo 635 with an actual weight of 1775 kg is not a recommended match to drive.
The motor preformance of the Lada is in general bad but for your use maybe sufficient. The weight of the Bessacarr with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), kgis too heavy for long distances. Remember to load your caravan correctly, insuring that the noseweight of the caravan is sufficient and the weight is distributed properly. But even so, a starting caravan driver is better off choosing a smaller and less heavy caravan!

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.
