This morning I read about a caravan with it's own driving motor and own driving battery. This new type of caravan is being developed in Germany:
Presumably this would completely change the rating for the car since the towing vehicle is subjected to much reduced loads. The load on the towbar/hitch I imagine would still be an issue due to:

• control at higher speeds (sway, etc)
• increased load on towbar/hitch when the caravan also has brakes, also
• decreased (slightly?) load on towbar/hitch when the caravan is accelerating under its own power

Seems like a really great development when it finally hits the mass market.
