On the contrary, I'd say it runs more stable if you exceed the allowed limit a bit rather than stay below it.
Especially with a caravan, where the air pressure on the large front area will lift the nose of the caravan when the speed increases.
Nivomat self leveling suspension is a valuable asset when towing things like my 1800 kg caravan (total length 8 meters) on one wheel axle.
