Must be a flash boat if it has springs oh.. you mean for the trailer .

OOPS! I forgot a very important factor.

Was this bulletin issued by Land Rover in the UK?
If so, caravans over there are very light on the tow bar!
Not to mention the light weight of the Vans themselves.

Those vans fall to bits on our horrid roads.

If the bulletin came from Land Rover AU, they are stark raving mad and have never trialled a D3 with an AUSSIE Caravan..

I believe it was Australian in origin, but I will have to find out so don't quote me on that.

Hi Jon,
It was an Australian release, not sure if it was SSM or a bulletin but was definately for Aus.

Will agree the D3 does NOT nessitate the use of a WDH, If the trailer is what is recommended & adheres to all the loads & specs, then dont use it as it it not required. Its also stated in the handbook as someone has mentioned.

Just before X-mas i drove a friends D3 with a 3T van behind it (TDV6 HSE) & it was remarkable, The van was there but the vehicle did not no it.
Admittedly, not my vehicle & i dont normally tow a 3T van, my camper is lighter than that & i still own my D2.

I rest my case!
