You do know there is a maximum weight you can apply to your tow hook??
Your Volvo have a maximum nose weight of probably 75Kg's..

On that basis, i makes no difference as to the change in your caravan as you shouldn't be applying any more weight to the tow hook than you were before.
On that basis, you are not loading your new caravan correctly...

This may sound a stupid question but you do know how to load the caravan, don't you??
