Is the Volkswagen T5 Campervan a practical choice for touring?
The Volkswagen T5 Campervan is a versatile compact vehicle suitable for both daily use and touring. With a length of 4.89m and a payload of 1000kg, it balances SUV-like drivability with the functionality of a motorhome. It supports between 2 and 4 berths and is available in various configurations, including rock and roll bed and side kitchen layouts, with prices typically ranging from 15000 to 45000.
- Berth capacity ranging from 2 to 4 occupants.
- Compact dimensions with a length of 4.89m and width of 1.9m.
- Maximum Technical Permissible Laden Mass (MTPLM) of 3000kg.
- Payload capacity of 1000kg.
- Multiple layout options including Pop-Top Roof and Side Kitchen.
Worth knowing: Internal standing height is limited in fixed roof versions without a pop-top. Older models may necessitate more frequent maintenance. Prices vary significantly based on the specific conversion and age.
Buying a Volkswagen T5 Campervan
Who it suits
- • Couples or small families requiring a vehicle that fits in standard parking spaces.
- • Solo adventurers seeking a 4.89m long vehicle that handles like a car.
- • Buyers looking for a campervan with high residual values and strong community support.
Reasons to consider it
- • Robust German engineering and a 3000kg MTPLM.
- • High customisation potential with layouts like the rear lounge or side kitchen.
- • Fuel efficiency that is competitive for a vehicle of this type.
What to check
- • Confirm the roof type, as fixed high roofs and pop-tops offer different height clearances.
- • Inspect the rock and roll bed mechanism and swivel seat functionality.
- • Verify the payload remains within the 1000kg limit after any aftermarket additions.
Worth knowing: Verify the specific conversion type as layouts range from minimalist to fully equipped. Check the maintenance history, particularly for older models in the range.
Compare the Volkswagen T5 Campervan with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Volkswagen T5 Campervan | 4 | 3000 kg | 4.89 m | £15,000 to £45,000 |
| Volkswagen Danbury | 4 | 3000 kg | 4.90 m | £15,000 to £75,000 |
| Volkswagen Autosleeper | 4 | 3000 kg | 4.89 m | £18,000 to £75,000 |
The Volkswagen T5 Campervan sits in a competitive segment where it matches the 3000kg MTPLM of the Danbury and Autosleeper. While it shares its 4.89m length with the Autosleeper, it offers a lower entry price of 15000 compared to the 18000 required for an Autosleeper or 25000 for a California. The Nissan Elgrand provides a shorter 4.85m alternative at a lower price point, whereas the T5 remains a mid-range option with a maximum price of 45000, significantly lower than the 90000 peak seen in the California range.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the swivel front seats to maximise the living area in the 4.89m cabin.
- Monitor the condition of the pop-top seals to ensure weatherproofing.
- Check the 3000kg MTPLM against your driving licence requirements if towing.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Exceeding the 1000kg payload by installing heavy bespoke cabinetry.
- • Assuming all models have standing room without checking for a pop-top or high roof.
Worth knowing: Always confirm the exact height before entering restricted car parks, as the 1.99m height may vary with roof type.
