Car is increasingly sluggish when towing

Hello. We've been towing an ABI Transtar with a Ford Focus C-Max 1800 diesel for a couple of years, reasonably happily, but recently it's been really struggling, especially up hill (of course). It's a familiar route, so it's easy to compare past performance, and there is a very noticeable difference. We've had the car checked out, and the garage people say it's fine when checked with benchmark performance figures for the model. So this leaves the 'van itself. It's no more laden than previously (in fact even less), and all seems well with it - new tyres, properly inflated, handbrake OK. Any suggestions as to what might be causing this?
Dave.
