The Landrover Freelander 2.2 SD4 aut. with a Bailey Pageant Monarch with an actual weight of 1318 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.
The motor preformance of the Landrover is in general very 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 very good.

The engine's performance is generally very good on flat roads (performance score to compare 255 points).
Speeds of 79 mph (128 km/h) to 84 mph (136 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is a lot of power at low engine speeds (score to compare 313 points).
Higher revs (1600 rpm) are usually not necessary on flat roads, under most circumstances.
Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 16.2 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 312 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 24%.
On motorway inclines higher revs (2200 rpm) are needed.
A speed of 70 mph (113 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
The towing limit of the Landrover 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.
The caravan is too heavily loaded.
Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 63%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 70%.
The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
Recommended noseweight is 75 kg.
Stability and safety score to compare is 208 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 very 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.
