Is the combination of my 2700kg Airstream Caravan and my 2008 Mazda BT50 (4x4 Dual Cab with 3l Turbo Diesel Engine), which I think weighs about 1,700kgs - too heavy for a standard car licence (Class 1). Do I need to get a Class 2 Licence?

Hi there,
Class 1 license covers pretty much any vehicle (excluding motorcycles) under 6 tonne GVM.
