Hi Paul.
Firstly, apologies, but I don't think I'm going to be able to make it at the end of December now.
We need very specific information to be able to advise you, properly, on this, but we can give you some general advice. Firstly, the only way to be sure of your car's towing capacity is to check it on the VIN plate and / or V5 document. That said, all of the information I can find, online, shows a towing capacity, for your car. of 1,200kg.
Unfortunately, without knowing what year of Pullman you are going to end up with, again, we can't be specific. Pre 1996 models had a maximum gross weight of 700kg. Post 1996 models, however, saw a quite significant jump to 900kg. This is, still, only 75% of what your car can tow, even when the camper is loaded to its absolute maximum.
A camper can be reversed into place, without any problems, but I would definitely agree that you need to use ramps. Reversing at a steady pace is fine, however, any sharp movements, or pushing back too hard to bump the trailer up the kerb, could compress the hitch, and engage the over run brakes. Other than that, no issues at all.
-------------
The one good thing about being wrong is the joy it brings to others..
