It's the vehicle's plated gross train weight that dictates the speed limit. Even if you are towing a Tesco trolley with a D3/D4 you are limited to 90 kph.
I normally keep up with the HGVs - any faster and you start to chew too much fuel.MY12 D4 HSE Ipanema Sand

I just had an email from the Caravan Club offering a deal on the Liber-T transponder so thought I'd have another look. The first thing I saw was they don't apply to vehicles with a GVW of 3500kg or more. When I paid manually last year, apart from being able to grope the wife as she paid the toll, the auto tolls saw my set up as a class 2 (ie under 3500kg) and not a class 4 (over 3500kg). I assume the Liber-T system has no way of checking? How would you wriggle out of that one if stopped with a transponder on a 4300kg rig? FFRR 2017 4.4SDV8 Autobiography. Cost so much I must be mad!

I checked my liber-t (APRR) invoice for last summer. Travelling with D3 and tintent, always invoiced as class2. Usually took the HGV lanes.
It is scary to drive through with 20 kph but it works a treat!

D4 + caravan is from my understanding is class 2 as the GVW of the Discovery is under 3500kgs - the weight of the caravan doesn't seem relevantD4 2010 HSE Santorini Black
D3 2005 SE Java Black - p/x to D4
D2 2001 GS - p/x to D3

Yep - just logged on to my APRR.FR and I was charged 1.4 euro for the active month (not charged at all rest of year just the month you use it)
Then charges were as Class 2 - so EUR39.20 From Calais to West Coast of Brittany.MY15 DIY Black Pack (Better than factory and half the price!)

No sure on the refundable deposit, can't remember even paying for one and my bills only show the EUR10

It's exactly the same Liber-T tag and just as valid anywhere.

I applied as per Dubbs instruction, very easy and I now have a transponder winging it's way to me at a cost of €11 joining fee plus €10 postage. I then pay €1.70 for each month used, no yearly fee mentioned at all and the monthly for a third of the UK websites cost.

Glad it helped.
Can't take credit though as someone else on here pointed me at APRR.FR last year when I was looking at the rip-off saneftolling.co.uk
I say rip off but if you don't mind the extra cost and exchange rate they apply to charge you in £ then it's a more convenient option (for those not prepared to muddle through the language barrier)
