Hello,
Having owned a t5 I can say they make a good tow vehicle.
Just a thought, but why not tow a two berth caravan with it?

Have you considered side bathroom with bunks and double at the back? Not sure how many kids you have, but this option basically gives you the two sofas at the back that make a double bed, with a bunk over=3 beds. These mean all kids in bed at end of van often with dividing door and grown ups can sit up chat and have glass of wine - check out Bailey Pursuit 560-5 layout. Other makes offer similar layouts.

I have a coachman amara 570/6 it has a mid washroom,2 fixed bunks and dinette at the rear that makes 4 bunks, kitchen opposite washroom and lounge/double bed at the front. The kitchen/ washroom puts a good distance between us and our sons. And the end can be closed off with a concertena partition. The door is in the middle so once the guys are in bed (a task in its self) they are not disturbed by going outside. Our previous van was fixed bunks across rear next to the door.
85hp would struggle to tow my 1600kg single axel though. I have over 2x the power and I certainly know the van is behind although maintaining 60 on inclines is not a problem.

Ive got a lunar 464 with a rear dinette and although it's a side washroom it's got a seperate shower cubicle which was a must for me.

Hi check the Pegasus Ancona 5 or 6 berth. With bunks, you can make a separate room and kids all asleep at middle and rear plus they have a play area to almost with the dinette opposite.
We close the slide door and sit up front of van and make bed up which is eat. Plus the door to the van is our end to.
Great daily van and very comfortable
Happy vanning !

As a child Mum and Dad always bought caravans with a side washroom and lounge on both ends, the rear made up as double bed with bunk over for us kids, and front made a double bed for Mum and Dad so they could sit up later than us. There are 5 children in our family and the boys (the two eldest) always slept on camp beds in the awning.

Adria do a great family layout van and light to tow too. No frills vans that really look light and airy. Fixed bunks at the back with a double dinette at the front! We've had two and they have done us for 7 or so years, we've gone to completely the other end of the spectrum now though with a Lunar Delta FB! Heavy twin axle with fixed bunks but a wash room with a separate shower! Love it
