Noseweights!

As the law now requires caravan noseweights to be at least 4% of the MTPLM (I believe?). This will give many people a problem with certain cars. My caravan is 1680kg maximum, if I have a minimum nosewieght of around 68kg. I find that figure is just about ok,
but the outfit tows better at around 60 kg noseweight.. I have tried going up to around 80kg, but the outfit does not feel anywhere near as secure despite the fact I have a towball limit on the car of 100kg. I find the 10kg or so either way of my optimum 60kg,
(which is illegal)!  Can make a staggering difference to the outfits "feel" when towing. Has anyone else experienced similar patterns?
