I've recently bought a 1.6 diesel auto 160 bhp crv for towing a small 2 berth, 2016 version, I don't even notice the caravan whilst towing. No experience of the 2.2, they might be a bit older.

I get about 35mpg whilst towing!

Not looked seriously, but I understand the Automatic towing capacity is much less than the manual. Needs checking if you have a larger van.
1.6 or 2.2? In the word if Lord Jezzer Poweeeeeeer!
