    I thought the D3/D4 handbook specifically prohibits the use of a WDH on the vehicles - not needed due to the air suspension system.

    It does... This WDH thing is always debated with vigor on the caravan forums. There many old school caravaner's who claim that the world will end if you don't use a WDH. Of course most of these old school dudes tow with Toyota's so in their case they have dynamically suspect vehicles to start with. By adding 3000kg of caravan truly upsets dynamic abilities of those Toyota's. So I guess from their point of view the world will end.

    Hi All,
    Just as a f'rinstnce, I used to tow my caravan (1600kg) behind my D1 using a WDH.

    With my D3 (coiler), I kept the WDH in the 'van storage in case I needed it, but never have.

    With air suspension, you guys are much better off, so NO WDH needed or recommended.

    Best Wishes,
    Peter

    Naa, Nissan not happy with any WDH on any towbar attached to a Pathie.
    Even sent a formal letter from Nissan Australia explaining just that, complete with two stickers stating WDH not to be used => one sticker to place in the owners manual under the section "Towing" and the other to be placed on the drivers door next to the tyre placard.
