The Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0 DI-D 4WD with a Bailey Senator Arizona with an actual weight of 1464 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.
The motor preformance of the Mitsubishi is in general fairly good. And also the weight of the Bailey with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is not too heavy, if the caravan is well loaded.

Actual Weights
Bailey Senator Arizona: 1464 kg.
Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0 DI-D 4WD: 1930 kg.
Noseweight: 80 kg.
Actual weight ratio: 76%.
Performance
The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 224 points).
Speeds of 74 mph (120 km/h) to 80 mph (129 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is more than enough power at low engine speeds (score to compare 220 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 20.6 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally good (score to compare 239 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 (3100 rpm) are needed.
A speed of 63 mph (102 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
The towing limit of the Mitsubishi 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 (or B96) driving license.
Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 76%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 85%.
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 80 kg.
Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
Stability and safety score to compare is 152 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.
If the caravan is well loaded 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.
