Weight

The Volkswagen T5 1.9 TDI with a Elddis Avante 534 with an actual weight of 1425 kg is a match suitable for most journeys, sometimes with some limitations.

The motor preformance of the Volkswagen is in general sufficient. And also the weight of the Elddis with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Volkswagen is more than sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
  • If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, you will need a B+E (or B96) driving license.
  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 66%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 73%.
  • The chance of snaking is relatively small at normal speed, if the caravan is well loaded.
  • Recommended noseweight is 80 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 195 points.

If the caravan starts to snake you should reduce your speed and slow down directly! Lift your feet off the accelerator and brake gradually. Hold the steering wheel into a fixed position.

Conclusion

  • Performance is sufficient.
  • Safe driving is possible.
  • It's a good match, sometimes with some limitations.

 

Influence of User Payload on stability

Weight distribution and noseweight are vital in obtaining a stable caravan.

Distribute the User Payload by yourself in the caravan and the car and then find out the stability rating of your loading configuration.

User Reviews

Alan reviewed a Volkswagen T5 1.9 TDI:

"We have have several tow cars and several caravans. The VW T5 with the Eriba Triton is the best combination we have ever had. Tows perfectly, never experienced and snaking with it. And plenty of power. I would defiantly recommend this combination "
