1400 kg unladen, add crockery, clothes, gas bottle etc, you are pushing your luck with a car. You really need either a smaller 'van or a tonka toy to pull it.

Remembering back to my old S60 days
2040 will be max car weight
3640 will be max train weigh giving you 1600 max towing

He would be running about 100% of the car which is acceptable.
