Great looking combo. I have been fixated on getting an Airstream to tow behind my LR4 for a long time. I bet you get a lot of approving nods as you roll down the road!

I towed a 25’ Airstream behind my LR4.
Do not use a load distribution hitch (is this what you are referring too?) it will **** the compressor. I believe all LR4s have the sway control built into them. Check youtube and search LR4/Discovery 4 sway control.
I did a deep dive into researching Airstreams to tow behind a 5.0L LR4. It seemed like a 25-footer was right at the upper limit of what the LR could handle safely, all things considered. I would love to see some photos of your setup. An Airstream behind a Land Rover is such a great combination and must attract a lot of appreciative looks and beeps when you're on the road.
Not wanting to open a can of worms but going to anyway ......
I’d never use WD with the “wedge” - only the bolt to frame.
I don’t think there’s a right answer since we’ve had a Jeep with load levelling suspension and WD was recommended. Yes Jeeps and Rovers are different but the technology is not dissimilar.
To date we have bot had an issue with WD on our Rovers with the suspension.
...... That information is also specific to the D3.
.......Indicating that LR specifically states not to use a WD setup, because it has not been tested, does not mean it would necessarily cause issues. It means exactly what it says: They haven't tested it, don't want responsibility for its use, and so recommend not to use.
....... For anyone who cares: 2011 LR4 HSE (I don't have any of the fancy tow assist features - just the green tow light blinks when I use turn signals). Recurve R3 (600lb) hitch system with the OEM hitch receiver (stubby version, not the plow).
