I checked up on this when I had a problem, it is not down to the car manufacturer but the towbar manufacturer. They need to get type approval not only for the normal towbar, but the towbar with a drop plate. Apparently only a couple of towbars have this and they tend to be the Land Rovers where farmers, for instance, want to tow a wide range of equipment.
I solved the problem another way. I got a couple of steel box tubes made up at a place that makes trailers, and a set of longer bolts. Cost £20. I put the spacers between the hitch and the A frame to raise up the towhitch. As yet there is no legislation against doing this. Had the caravan serviced last week with a mobile service, and he didn't notice!
Incidentally it is not the air under the caravan which is a problem, it is the air hitting the front of the caravan. This tends to lift the nose of the caravan more when travelling, and this is nore evident at higer speeds or in a strong headwind.
