The Rover 75 2.0 CDT with a Caravan with an actual weight of 200 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.
The motor preformance of the Rover is in general fairly good. 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.

Rover 75 2.0 CDT: 1785 kg.
Noseweight: 50 kg.
Actual weight ratio: 11%.
Performance
The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 224 points).
Speeds of 71 mph (114 km/h) to 76 mph (123 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is sufficient power at low engine speeds (score to compare 170 points).
Slightly higher revs (1900 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 14.4 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 288 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 23%.
On motorway inclines higher revs (2600 rpm) are needed.
A speed of 66 mph (106 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
The towing limit of the Rover 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 11%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 13%.
The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
Recommended noseweight is 50 kg.
Stability and safety score to compare is 347 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.
