    Remember that the 250kg ball weight is for your peace of mind but not legal in a Disco. It is above the limit of the factory specifications.
    In case of accident you loose the car insurance cover and are liable if you caused a 3rd party damage.

    No so unless the vehicle is already loaded to max gvm in which case its 150kg.
    The handbook states that 250kg is max, just have to reduce the rear-end max load by 100kg.

    Howdy Chucaro,

    I'm a bit puzzled by your comment. The Discovery Series II does have a max 250 kg load limit on the tow ball, according to the user manual.

    Anyway, I will be travelling very light inside the vehicle with just one passenger in front, empty rear seats, fridge in the cargo area, and every thing else in the camper.

    Hopefully this is not going to exceed the Disco's towing abilities.

    Land Rover also quote a braked trailer of 3500 kgs, and my camper is only 1000 kgs with electric brakes and 125 kgs down weight on the tow hitch, so it should be well within the towing and weight capacity of the vehicle.
