Nothing wrong with that if it is a > mini-van you're looking for. Here's a new T5 in Amsterdam last month: http://jones.colorado.edu/jones/VW-T5.jpg Nicer than a T4 Eurovan, but lower overall. For camping, the Vanagon height is still the best. For bashing around our West, the Vanagon clearance is still the best. My opinion.
