How big is your auxiliary tank? Is it the biggest you can fit?

I'm using the redarc remote head ebrh. I like it admit's very easy to fit in the dash without banging our leg every time. They now have the towpro which wasn't available when I bought mine which is also inertia sensing.

I'm running the long range automotive 60l tank. The long ranger tank is supposed to be bigger at 68l.

Thanks for the feedback on towing with the Penstar. I feel comfortable that it would be acceptable with my 1600kg camper.

You probably already know but to tow that weight you will need an Unlimited as the 2 door have a max tow capacity of 1000kg

Thanks, yes I was aware of that. It always surprised me though. The Landrover short and long wheel base defender models both tow 3.5t though with the 2.2 engine I imagine it would be slow and steady at that weight.
