Total newby to caravanning so plese excuse my seeming lack of knowledge..but..

My vehicle is the Nissan X trail,and I am seeking a caravan to tow.The vehicle seems to have bags of Horses [bhp] to spare, a max load of 2000and a towing limit of 2200Kg,The problem i get when i find a caravan that i could wish to buy and I and stick its detail into the comparison ouftit chart,i I get the ok [green tick]on all catagories bar the 85% tow,on this I get the warning sign.This happens on nearly every 4 Berth caravan i try.The minimum Kerb weight of the X trail is given as 1615Kg.My problem is that despite days of looking and comparing I still have not found a 4 berth that seems come under the MTPLM of 1380/1400Kg [at the right price of course] Are there many? Or should I exceed the 85% because when loaded the X Trail will be far heavier than its minimum recorded  Kerb weight.I told you I knew very little!!
