Hi Steve
We tow our Pageant Burgundy which also has an MTPLM 1.400 Kg, but we tow it with our 2009 Avensis Tourer TR 2.0 Litre Diesel, but this has a kerbside weight of 1,520Kg and we have no problems towing at all, also we have a six speed manual box.
If your Mazda does have a kerbside weight of 1.345 Kg then it is very light as said above, suggest you look at swopping the car for a heavier one if possible and a diesel
Mike.

Take your car to a weigh bridge with 90% tank of fuel and weigh it then add 75Kg for the driver and that will give you the cars true kerbweight.
I would also weigh your van loaded with what you would normally take so you have know what your working with.
Put the awning in the boot as this would reduce the cavan weigh (my awning weighs in at 30kg)
Your van will weigh a lot more than you think once you get the basics in please see chart below

You can tow at 100% by law, providing your car or license allows however all the clubs advise 85% for inexperienced towers.
