Hi Mark, the vehicle weight was 3700kg unhitched without the extra fuel tank and extra water tank filled. For info, the ball weight of our camper when loaded is only around 130kg. We don't have a weight for the rear axle. As the video shows, we started with the 3 leaf TT set, but now settled on the 4 leaf, assisted with airbags when needed.
