Hi, I am sure that if you google the t5, and look for a video that shows how everything works. You will find the bed demonstrated. Similar with the seat. I know that some time last year, a conversation was had about a double seat that turned and feel that a picture was added to the post on here. I know nothing of them. But MMM have videos of different sorts of campers on here, and the bloke in them does show how things work. MMM stands for Motorhome Monthly Magazine. Good Luck, and am pleased you belong to the 'I don't want to force it' brigade. Come back if you can't find the answer and I bet before you know it some one will be able to talk you through it on here.
P.S. I have just remembered a guy in our village owns a VW Camper...not sure which model, I will take some needed exercise and see if he can help.

Rotating the front seat can be a bit tricky. I pull the seat as far forward as I can before releasing the catch and pushing it round. Also check the height of the seat, if it has been dropped down whilst facing forward, it will catch. Also if you change the height whilst it's facing back, same thing. We don't change the height on ours ever.
