    towing with a 300tdi defender

    I haven't done much towing with my defender and I am in the process of buying a caravan. I am keen on a Phoenix van but I am concerned that it will be a bit heavy (about 2600kg laden) for comfortable cruising.
    Anyone with any suggestions?

    i have an old millard pop top that i tow, i can sit on 100km/h no worries, the hills knock the wind out of the 300tdi at times, i return around the 15-15-16L/100km thats with the pump tweaked a bit, as you can see shes pretty loaded
