I would suggest that your problems are down to the loading of the caravan. Even if the hitch weight is correct, the distribution of the load can make a massive difference to the stability. Despite your reluctance to not discuss the bike rack... you need to remove the bike rack and try again.
Generally the more nose-heavy the caravan, the more stable it is. Load up so that the hitch weight is just below the limit. Avoid weight at the extremes, especially the back

indeed that load on the caravan back will add and remove quite a bit of weight from the towball as it bounces up and down . heavy weight should always be over the caravan axle .. ( or in the car of course )
