Default Towing a Caravan - Mechanical strain etc

Hi guys and girls.
Just hoping for some advice on towing a Caravan and car mechanical safety.

I now have a VW R36 (I know not a Ford had a decade with a BA Turbo) and been looking to buy a Caravan for a while.

It's a 16ft older (but immaculate) Millard and according to booklet the R36 can tow it legally up to 2500Kg braked which complies.

Just opinions I'm hoping for but do you think a Caravan too much for a car tranny and engine? Especially a VW with DSG?

Would only be used for short easy trips up to 100Ks max.

All advice as it's a brilliant buy and what I've been looking for, but if too risky to car then no worries.

Thank you all.
