Sorry the links didn't work for me. Can I ask am I legal as a category B driver if my caravan is less than the kerbweight of my car and the combined weight is less than 3.5tonnes?

My cars kerb weight is 1657kg, my caravans fully laden weight is 1200kg. So the combined weight is 2857kg. I am well under the 3.5tonnes and also quite a bit lighter in the caravan to the kerb weight of the car.

It is such a grey area. I know people who have asked the DVLA for answers and haven't got straight answers back. My dad used to work as a traffic policeman and himself and friends have no idea of the laws on towing. Not great since they are the ones policing us. It is the insurance side of it that makes me wonder about these things.

Any answers or opinions welcome.

Thank you for listening and trying to understand
