take a look at this new range especially the "gallery". Seems to claim "You can take everything with you" and "storage for all your needs"

I think not with a maximum of 160Kg user payload on the TA model.

We are basically being sold a lie and have been since the minimal MRO and user payloads were introduced.

I suspect many of us were sold a vehicle that we expected to fulfil holiday and touring loads, most don't despite their ad claims. Seems like mis-selling?

Result failing axles, brakes and stressed body work, leaks and cracks across many manufacturers.

For safety sake the club should spell out real life load limitations of current vehicles so newcomers or members updating from older vehicles are aware. Maybe also investigate advertised claims?
