Never had either a Navara or twin axle, but a couple of years ago I saw a Navara pulling a fifth-wheeler - and that was big!
I would guess that if your van doesn't exceed the 85% recommendation, it should be ok....

A friend has the pathfinder (same but not a pick up) and that tows his twin axle ok. Saw a Navara today on the mway with a humungous 5th wheel van.

Check your Bailey warranty.  I am under the impression that Bailey nul the warranty (inc the 6 year water ingress) if you tow with a commercial vehicle.

I have just bought a Navara D22 and I have a Coachman Laser twin axle.

The beauty of the Navara is that it has a 3 tonne tow capability and after doing my research it looks like a great tow vehicle. I can tell you more in about 4 weeks.

if you want any advice have a look at www.nissan-navara.net... the lads there are really helpful!!

Suggest you load the pickup bed a wee bit Andy, just to keep the tail end stable. Experience with a 4 wheel trailer with a machine on it (just under 1 tonne) showed that we towed better with a couple of cwts. of load in the bed and with the noseweight at around 85kg.

Probably your awnings and the heavy stuff would do the job, but it'll be a matter of 'suck it and see' probably.

I have got the Pathfinder, which is the car version of the Navara, it has the same engine, just different rear suspension. Mine is an Auto with a 2.5 Diesel Engine, and it has 174 BHP, more than a similar LandRover disco, it pulls exceptionally well, i have seen people pull v v large twin axles with Navarras, no probs...
