I'd say it's dialed in as close as it's going to get. What say you?

Depends on what your gawr are and what is the gvw on the van. as far as balanced, you didn't show the trailer weight with the WD hooked up. as long as you are within the vehicles limits, you look good.

Ideally you should be transferring as much weight to the front axle as the rear axle with a weight-distributing hitch (ie; the front bumper and reap bumper measurements move the same amount when hitched up-vs unhitched). You will find the proper W/D hitch setup instructions here..
There is a unique problem towing with vans that have long overhangs behind the rear axle. It is especially important to have a quality W/D hitch that is accurately set-up for your particular van and trailer. Trailer length is also very important in this scenario.
