Hi, Dave. Like Alan I've a Mondeo 2.0 TDCI 130. An excellent tug and very much underated. Your 115 version is only slightly less powerful and will pull the Bailey easily. Just watch the noseweight, be careful not to overload the 'van and keep the heavier items over the axle - all the usual advice we see time after time in the magazines.

I find that my estate version happily carries most of our gear, leaving very little to be carried in the 'van. Do remember to adjust the car's tyre pressures if it running heavy (details are in the handbook and inside your filler cap.) I put an extra 5 psi into the back tyres when towing loaded.

I tow with a Mondeo 1.8 petrol 04 reg with a Bailey Champagne on a 97% match and she pulls no problem, with stuff in boot and a couple of bikes on towbar rack, a very stable drive
