Before you make plans to set off with your goods in tow, there are some basic checks to make. You mustn't overload your vehicle or trailer and should look at your trailer and car handbooks to find out what the recommended maximum weight is. Whatever load you are carrying must be securely fastened down and must not be sticking out dangerously. Take care to ensure that there is no chance any animals can break free. The weight in your caravan or trailer must be properly distributed. Heavy items should be loaded mainly over the axle and you need to ensure a downward load on the tow ball. Again, check your handbooks for the recommended maximum weight and tow ball load. This is particularly important to avoid the possibility of swerving, snaking and losing control. If this does happen, ease off the accelerator and reduce your speed gently to regain control.

A caravan is like any other trailer. A strong tow car, good tires on both car and caravan, it's not a problem until the snow gets too deep.
It could, provided the tongue weight didn't exceed the vehicle's capabilities, but it would be far from being the ideal tow vehicle.
