I would say that there is very little choice below 900kgs, especially if your friend does not have B+E licence, as you say freedoms or teardrops maybe a consideration of a trailer tent or (possibly the best option) to upgrade to a larger tow vehicle

Older caravans were always a lot lighter, there should be plenty at that weight.
