Some cars and vans have different nose weight allowances. My rule of thumb is lift the jacks up so the van is standing on its road wheels and jockey wheel . Try to lift the jockey wheel off of the ground if you can just lift it it should be some where near right. if it is impossible to lift move something to the rear of the van ( put jacks down first of course) if it lifts real easy move something forward ( jacks down of course). If you have the correct tools and weights use them to get it just right.
To ensure that you are fully legal, the loaded caravan nose weight should be the lighter of the maximum permitted by the car manufacturer, the tow bar manufacturer and the caravan manufacturer. If you don't have all of these figures then look in your car and van handbooks
