The Peugeot 3008 1.6 HDiF with a Bailey Pursuit 400-2 with an actual weight of 1090 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.
The motor preformance of the Peugeot is in general more than sufficient. And also the weight of the Bailey with a User Payload (172 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Performance
The engine's performance is generally fairly good on flat roads (performance score to compare 196 points).
Speeds of 69 mph (111 km/h) to 75 mph (121 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is sufficient power at low engine speeds (score to compare 196 points).
Slightly higher revs (1700 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 22.8 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally good (score to compare 205 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 15%, but do require some experience from the driver.
On motorway inclines higher revs (3300 rpm) are needed.
A speed of 59 mph (95 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
The towing limit of the Peugeot is more than sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, a B driving license is enough.
Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 64%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 74%.
The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
Recommended noseweight is 65 kg.
Stability and safety score to compare is 215 points.
If the caravan starts to snake you should reduce your speed and slow down directly! Lift your feet off the accelerator and brake gradually. Hold the steering wheel into a fixed position.
Conclusion
Performance is more than sufficient.
Safe driving is possible.
It's a perfect match!
Influence of User Payload on stability
Weight distribution and noseweight are vital in obtaining a stable caravan.
