The Landrover Discovery 2.7 Td V6 with a Compass Rallye 636 with an actual weight of 1819 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.
The motor preformance of the Landrover is in general very good. And also the weight of the Compass with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Noseweight: 100 kg.
Actual weight ratio: 65%.
Performance
The engine's performance is generally very good on flat roads (performance score to compare 257 points).
Speeds of 82 mph (132 km/h) to 87 mph (140 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is a lot of power at low engine speeds (score to compare 311 points).
Higher revs (1600 rpm) are usually not necessary on flat roads, under most circumstances.
Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 19.2 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 283 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 16%.
On motorway inclines higher revs (2500 rpm) are needed.
A speed of 69 mph (111 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
The towing limit of the Landrover is more than sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, you will need a B+E driving license.
Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 65%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 70%.
The chance of snaking is relatively small at normal speed, if the caravan is well loaded.
Recommended noseweight is 100 kg.
Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
Stability and safety score to compare is 191 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 very good.
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.
