The Fiat Doblo 1.3 MultiJet with a Caravan 750 kg 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 Fiat is in general sufficient. And also the weight of the Caravan with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Fiat Doblo 1.3 MultiJet Caravan 750 kg
Actual Weights
Caravan 750 kg: 950 kg.
Fiat Doblo 1.3 MultiJet: 1630 kg.
Noseweight: 60 kg.
Actual weight ratio: 58%.
Performance
The engine's performance is generally fairly good on flat roads (performance score to compare 162 points).
Speeds of 64 mph (103 km/h) to 71 mph (114 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is only moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 128 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 28.2 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally sufficient (score to compare 146 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 12%, but do require some experience from the driver.
On motorway inclines the speed drops despite high revs.
A speed of 53 mph (85 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
The towing limit of the Fiat 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 58%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 68%.
The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
Recommended noseweight is 60 kg.
Stability and safety score to compare is 239 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.
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.
