Wow, those are some really different specs. Only "5%" tongue weight!!
I guess my first question would be, what type of hitch system do you use. Does it have integrated weight distribution (equalization) and sway control. Being you only have 5% tongue weight, I can image the sway would be really bad. I'm guessing your hitch system has sway control built in to alleviate the effects of such a light tongue weight.
Then, what type of speed limits are you limited to, while pulling a trailer. I remember reading that it was 45 mph or 72.42 kmph. That would make sway less likely as you're going pretty slow.
Nice camper (or caravan :W), it looks really comfortable.
Now I've seen a lot of european style campers without bathrooms. Do you guys have campgrounds that offer a lot of showers and bathrooms? Around here, I've seen campgrounds with only 2 toilets and 2 showers being most travel trailers have their own.
I hope you stay active in these forums, because a lot of threads reference european campers with a lot of mystery. You could be the knowledge in those threads.
Oh, by reference, my camper dry (without water and without loaded gear) weighs the same as your camper.
