One point that hasn't been mentioned yet regarding nose weight and getting it right, is the fact that as your towing speed increases above 40 mph the front of the caravan rises due to the air pressure on the front of the van.
That is why you need sufficient nose weight to start with to counteract this lightening of the the cars back end and why snaking starts to kick in above this speed.
