Thanks,, total weight is just under 3.5 when fully loaded, not 100% sure on the exact TB weight at present, but about the 240 mark when the tanks are full. It’s actually a bit light on, so I need to recheck a few things and make it right soon. When the water is transferred into the waste tank, she can get a bit edgy in high gusty winds I discovered 😳. Easily sorted, but would be better not to have to think about it at all 👍

Thanks. Didn't mean to be nosy. Just curious.
Your Disco should handle that fine, I imagine.
Is it right that your D4s payload is about 700kg? Also that the first 150kg of towball is not counted in the payload, so if the towball was 250kg then it would only mean the payload of the vehicle has to be reduced by 100kg?
Just trying to understand this stuff and am unfamiliar with the D4's numbers.
Is the dust sealing good in the van?
