The nose weight stated by Volvo for the car is 110kgs
Uniqueue i have crawled under and yes it is a transverse spring and it appears to be some type of plastic!!!
Would changing the shock absorber help Bilstein do a shock which they recommend for heavy loads and towing B6 Sport I think its called

Rear suspension dampers have no effect on the ride height, that is the springs job .
The car is adequate for the job , take the whole rig down to the dealer let them have a look at it .
what happens of you sit on the edge of the boot does the car go down a lot? you would be a similar weight to the caravan i would think . or get 2 people to sit there.
The rear spring is a composite material first used on the 960 23 years ago developed with Lotus so well proved .
