Well done .
What engine is your Mondeo. I have always had a 2.0 we now have a 2.2 tdci. Lorries passing do cause a bit of snaking or it pulls you can always feel it.
They are brilliant tow cars . I think your caravan is fine though. Just make sure that the car is the right engine size. I must feel confident with my car. My husband doesn't like towing now . I do ask him to sometimes because the same as you it's tiring and can make you feel tense. But I do most of the towing. We have just returned from Weymouth. But we travelled down on a Sunday and returned yesterday ( tues ) we do avoid travelling on Saturdays if possible. I always say it takes a while to get used to the feel of the caravan on the back to begin this is because I am so used to driving everywhere. With out anything on the back.
Good luck to and well done again. I hope you were proud of yourselves.

Glad to see you back safe and sound and nice to know you had a good one, reckon you were pretty lucky with the weather.
Don't worry too much about the reversing, it's very much a 'Man thing', it comes naturally to us men you know. You may master it after a year or two with much guidance from the oh........Mick
