There is no legal minimum ball load only maximum. So you can rebalance the van to get your 80kg ball load and be ok.

Have you ever towed a caravan that light on the ball? very dangerous and a boat trailer is very different, have a look how further back trailer boat wheels are compared to caravan wheels position.
Enough said.
