Thanks for converting the specs.
My tongue weight is with a 11kg propane tube, battery installed, and 40liters of fresh water in the tank.
Yes and no would be my answer to you about the stability of the trailer. I would guess that european trailers are more sensitive to how you load them then your US models are. And in most of Europe the speed limit is set to 80km/h (49mph?) but you in Germany for example you can apply to get permission to a higher speed limit 100km/h (62mph) but then your tires must be newer than 6 years and you have a stabilizer coupling to the tow ball. We doesn't use sway bars like you guys are doing, and again I guess this is related to the weight issue. This stabilizer coupling I have on my trailer is of the type that it "feels" when your trailer is starting to sway and then it squeezes with friction pads around the tow ball to prevent swaying.
Yes, our european trailers have a lot smaller "bath rooms" then your US versions have. For example there are not a single model in europe that contains bath tub so we must rely to showers and toilets at the camping grounds and these are often really nice to use.
In Sweden where I most often is camping the camping grounds are not so big, I should guess around 50-200 camping places.
