With great respect to Snowy, as he might very well be right.
However, my suggestion would be that it depends if your car already has a towbar fitted. If it does, I would use it cautiously and see how it goes.
If it does not have a tow bar already, I would not spend the money on getting one fitted, but get a more powerful car as Snowy suggests. If you do go down this route, diesel variants are usually more economical tow cars.
PS If you are new to caravanning, may I suggest that the balance of the caravan, that is to say, how you load it, is equally, if not more important than the overall weight. Look up the Tech Info 'leaflets' on the Caravan Club or Camping and Caravanning Club websites, they are very good.
Hope this helps.

Thanks everyone!
My car does have a towbar fitted! so I may go out for a small jaunt in it and get to grips with towing before we head too far!!!
I think I will put my car on the market and get a diesel as it isnt a powerful car but I guess it will crawl up hills with a bit of encouragement:)
I will certainly find out the towing limits I dont have the handbook so I'll look it up online!
Thanks again
