The 2006 Nissan X-TRAIL carries a braked towing capacity of up to 2000 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The T30 X-Trail is reliable and durable, and many owners are reporting no problems, even at high mileage well in excess of the 164,000 km of the car you're considering. The good thing is that the T30 has a regular automatic rather than the CVT of the later models, which did give some trouble early on. I wouldn't buy one with a manual gearbox, as clutches are a problem.
It depends on the weight you're going to tow and the terrain you'll be traveling over. Your caravan is well within the X- Trail's weight limits, but remember the weight the fully loaded weight, not just the weight of the caravan. If the caravan weighs 1300 kg fully loaded, and if the roads you will be traveling on are relatively flat then you should be able to get away without a cooler. But a cooler is good insurance against overheating the transmission, and overheating it is a good way to kill it.
The Nissan X-TRAIL 2006 prices range from $2,420 for the basic trim level SUV Ti-L (Sunroof) (4x4) to $8,470 for the top of the range SUV ST-S 40th Anniversary (4x4).
