You are towing around 75% of the weight of the car, so you are well below the recommended maximum of 85%.
My caravan was about 75% of the weight of my last car, but my current car is a lot heavier. The heavier car does make a big difference, but you are towing with a better weight ratio than a lot of people.
I've only toed a folding camper once and it wasn't the best of things to tow, but I don't recall the weight of it. It was quite probably heavier than yours. It was certainly heavier than my caravan.
It was very windy at the weekend, I certainly felt a few gusts on my caravan as I was coming along some A roads, but it felt a lot better on the motorway where I wasn't constantly coming past walls and hedges. This weekend was really not a good test case for the stability of your outfit. I would try experimenting with your nose weight and have another go when it's not so windy.
