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
- Elddis Avante 534: 1425 kg.
- Volkswagen T5 1.9 TDI: 2165 kg.
- Noseweight: 80 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 66%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally fairly good on flat roads (performance score to compare 163 points).
- Speeds of 67 mph (108 km/h) to 74 mph (119 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is sufficient power at low engine speeds (score to compare 154 points).
- Slightly higher revs (1900 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 32.7 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally sufficient (score to compare 126 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads but the performance is not that great. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 11%, but do require some experience from the driver.
- On motorway inclines the speed drops despite high revs.
- A speed of 51 mph (82 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
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.
