Volkswagen T5 Multivan 2.5 TDI and Bailey

Ian Dowkes reviewed on 08 May 2015 a Volkswagen T5 Multivan 2.5 TDI (174 PS/128 Kw, Year: 2004 - 2007) with a Bailey Unicorn III Cadiz of 1491 kg.

Due to (almost) always taking a full suspension electric mountain bike with spare wheels and toolkit, total weight 56lbs, on trips we required more storage space than most caravaners.

To get more storage we replaced the BMW X5 30D with a SWB T5, for sure we lost some power (340bhp down to 173bhp) but the T5 has been a pleasure, only the severest motorway climbs require changing down to 5th from 6th gear.

Cruising at 60mph on motorways/dual carriageways is easy and an amazing 32mpg, which can be improves to 36 if max speed of 55mph maintained on motorways.

Storage as you might expect is amazing and stability is exemplary, at least as good as the X5. Only modification from the standard T5 was removal of the 16" steel wheels for 18" winter graded alloys

Volkswagen T5 Multivan 2.5 TDI and Hobby

OyvindSP reviewed on 01 September 2008 a Volkswagen T5 Multivan 2.5 TDI (174 PS/128 Kw, Year: 2004 - 2007) with a Hobby Prestige 720 UKFe of 2000 kg.

We have had this combo for two full summer-holidays, and we are extremely happy with it. Motorway-driving is fluent and smooth, it's easy to follow the traffic, and ther's lots of excess power to overtake if necessary. Compared to my earlier experienses, the train is very stable even in strong side-wind.

At camp-site, we haver never missed traction, as the engine deliveres from 800 revs, making it possible to adjust speed just by operating clutch and brake if necessary.

For us, this has really been a lift to our camp-life!

Brilliant outfit - room for 7 in the car + camping gear for those not in the caravan - very stable and capable towcar, and with excellent lock for reversing into those awkward corners!

Peter Lorentzen reviewed on 16 July 2007 a Volkswagen T5 Multivan 2.5 TDI (174 PS/128 Kw, Year: 2004 - 2007) with a LMC Favorit 720 RBK of 1869 kg.

First time with this set up. Drove from Denmark to Italy across Brenner pass. Absolutely brilliant performance from the T5 Multivan, lot's of power, smooth stability of both the car and caravan. After our trip I was even more happy with our car and caravan, due to this experience! I feel very lucky :-)

Volkswagen T5 (Seikel) Multivan 2.5 TDI and Knaus

Claus Poulsen reviewed on 11 December 2006 a Volkswagen T5 (Seikel) Multivan 2.5 TDI (174 PS/128 Kw, Year: 2005 - 2009) with a Knaus Sudwind 550 FSK of 1415 kg.

My experience with my Multivan 2.5 tdi and my Knaus 550 FSK is that there is enough power in all situations. I even run the 6th gear most time, and only when speed in below 80 km/h I must go lower. This only happens on very steep roads such as in the Kassels in mid Germany and in the Alps. The max speed is > 130 km/h (only tried this once), and there is still power reserve to go faster � if you have the curage. I never sell this car 
