It depends how you want to do your caravanning. Keeping within your existing B licence you can get a UK built new small 2 berth or you could get a much older & larger lightweight 'van like ABI Marauder in reasonable nick for less than £1000, usually about a tonne all up but probably not what you want.
There no longer seems to be a market for new lightweight basic caravans although foreign makes like Sterckeman might be worth a look.
If you want a much larger new caravan then you need to take test to gain E licence to give you B+E. If you do this then you could get a caravan of around 1500kg mtplm or even larger than that & keep within towing limit for your car although 1500kg would give you the 85% ratio recommended but it is not a legal requirement.
