MTPLM of trailer.
There is much confusing and contradicting information regarding this subject, club website, AA etc. My car has a low towing limit of 1300kg, but a generous gross train of 3400kg. My caravan has a MTPLM of 1306kg. Several websites suggest I am not allowed
to tow this caravan. This is nonsense. Provided I keep the actual laden mass of caravan on or below 1300kg I am legal. My company car is a 44ton, 6 axle, articulated ADR chemical tanker. Many trailers I use in my line of work have technicaly permissible plated
weights many tons in excess of max gross train weight of 44tons, but obviously are not laden up to these limits. The MTPLM of a caravan is the absolute maximum the caravan can be loaded to and not a limit as to the towing limit of the car.
