The Opel Zafira 2.0 Dti with a Bailey Discovery Neptune with an actual weight of 1187 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.
The motor preformance of the Opel is in general more than sufficient. 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 very good.

Influence of User Payload on stability
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.
