Interesting topic and one close to my heart, as in Australia there is not much choice in caravans to stay under the 80kg towball limit. My personal view that this is seriously affecting sales here, as other SUV have up to 150kg which brings in far more choice.
Having said that we are very happy to have found a Geist AK560 which is 1600kg max laden and I can load to 80kg towball and check with scales. Just done 4500km with it to QLD and it towed like a dream. The only issue we found vs. our previous Pajero was that the lower roof height and raked rear blasted the front van double glazed window so much the two layers stuck together - very nervous as we thought we'd destroyed it. May look at a wind deflector to try to push some wind away from it and over the top.
Have to say that the lane assist really keeps the van in check and a much easier drive when towing. We have the 140TDI Sportline and that gives plenty of grunt to tow with.
