I would be concerned..
I went to a roll-over accident years ago on the Eyre Highway.
A Ford Station Wagon towing a Caravan rolled after getting the speed wobbles.
The husband who was driving was a carpenter and had his tools in a tool box at the rear of the caravan. A lot more tools and weight than you would probably have.

Brendon,
I have 2 off road spares and two 20 litre jerry cans on the back of my Jayco Swift. I've never had any speed wobbles but......... the weight on the back is not the thing to worry about, it's the weight on the towball that counts.

Each van will be different as will it's behaviour even during the duration of a trip. For example, my water tank is located in front of the axle so the towball weight does decrease with water usage....but not enough to make it unstable.

I know this is not a definitive answer, but it's more food for thought.
