750 kg is the max unbraked weight of any trailer by law. It just happens that most TTs are unbraked, and therefore below 750kg. FCs are usually braked, but unless you have a car with a MAM of 2.6 ton or more, 900kg would be within your limits on a post-98 license.
I went from tent to TT, and this holiday, I am hoping to pack up the awning the night before and just have the cabin so I can make a quick getwaway to our next site the day after.

Hi Tim,
There are a quite a few folding campers at the sub 750kg level. Most, like the Pennine Aztec, Apollo, Fiesta, Conway Countryman and Trigano Radger 415DL are 4 berth, but there are a number, like the pre '96 Pennine Pullmans that are 6 berth, so don't rule them out. Obviously, if you did move over to a 'normal' car, you would have no problem with any folding camper, as the largest one, the Pennine Pathfinder is a little over 1,000kg.

This link gives you lots of pics but you will probably buy a lot cheaper privately.

You can get an old one for £500 ish and they last for years.
Not sure but I thought the max combined weight of car and trailer must be no more than 3750kg on a post 97 licence. Are you sure you can go as high aas 750kg
The max combined on a post 97 licence is, actually, 3,500kg, not 3,750kg, BUT that is only if the trailer weighs more than 750kg. If it weighs less (as we've now established it will have to) then the combined MAM of the vehicle and trailer, together increases from 3,500kg to 4,250kg. On that basis, 3,100kg for the transit, plus max of 750kg for the trailer is 3,850kg, so within the 4,250kg limit.
