This makes the 'van MIRO as 2,000kg. That is very heavy, are you sure it's correct?
I see there are 2 towing limits for the D5, one for cars equipped for higher towing weights, and one without. 1,800 and 2,200kg are the quoted maximums.
The kerb weight of the V90 is 1710 kg - 2050 kg without passengers & luggage (I Think) so towing 2,000kg is never going to be the most stable.
One thing I have learnt is not to load the boot with weight when towing, as you have already done. I find it much better with the kit over the axle of the caravan.
