In that case I think I would be inclined to just try and get hold of some pieces of scrap aluminium to put over the holes. You could fix them down with sealant tape sold for sealing caravan rooflights. It's sold on a roll and you stick it down, peal the backing off, then put the plate on top of it. It really sticks!
Incidentally, £2k would definitely not be worth spending anyway. My caravan cost me £1,100 nearly 4 years ago, and I got it from a local dealer as a trade-sale. Worth checking out as they don't usually advertise them or display them. I just went in and asked if they had any, and they did. They showed us one, my wife fell in love with it immediately, and we bought it. It's old, but in good condition and we've had some great holidays with it. End of the season is the best time to buy, but you could be lucky now. Prices usually rocket come the spring though.

Are you certain about the 750kg, that seems a bit low for a Mondeo, particularly a diesel. If you can find a 2 berth and you are happy with it, should be fine though. Older caravans are usually lighter than the more modern ones, mine is a 4 berth and it's under 1,000kg. Tows like a dream with my 2008 X Trail, you hardly know it's there.
Reversing is the trickiest bit. Find a big empty car-park and practice, that is the best way. You will need some extension mirrors, but there is plenty of choice there.
Anything you need to know just ask on here, there are plenty of people with loads of experience, and there's no such thing as a stupid question.
