Hi there, I have just joined.
We have a 2006 T5 Transporter (ex Kea Rental) camper, 2.5 ltr 5 cylinder diesel with 6 speed auto that we purchased in July 2015. This is the first vehicle of this type that we have owned and love the way we sit up high with a good view above the other plebs on the road. The diesel with auto is a breeze to drive and also surprisingly economical for what is after-all a brick on wheels trying to push through the air.
We are getting better economy overall than my previous V6 Commodore ute (petrol) .....not really surprised given the better torque of the diesel that will always beat a petrol in overall performance.
We have also just purchased a 1991 Viscount Nipper 12' 6" caravan that we tow with the T5.....hardly know it is behind us as it only weighs about 800kgs and follows along perfectly at highway speeds.
We hope to have lots of fun with both the T5 and the Nipper caravan......
