As he's in Salisbury, send him out on the A36 towards Warminster, to stop off at Calypso Campers:
http://www.calypsocampers.co.uk/Tee5.htmTo talk about how to convert the van to suit the bike requirement. I would recommend a Reimo roof and someone like Arthur at MAD in Bristol fits a lot of these roofs. The one thing to note about fitting the roof is that Arthur says he's amazed at how many spot welds there AREN'T on the T5 vs the T4, but obviously, it's still a rigid structure and the trimmers that go in around the hole in the roof put a lot of the rigidity back in the van.
Obviously if it were me I'd be gunning for a 4Motion, but that's my own personal bent. The big thing about the 4Mo is the extra sure-footedness and extension to the van's capability, as well as the ability to continue getting to work whether we have the same sort of weather as last winter again!
The T5 does drive amazingly - SO nice.

Does he mind sitting on the wrong side? There is a HUGE choice of vans available in Germany, with very similar prices and you can cherry pick your spec a lot closer. The mobile.de site can be viewed in English and is very flexible.
