what ive done with my day van swb low rof is made a bed that allows me to fold it up to the side of the van when not needed, then drops down and allows me to lie length ways with my feet on the top of the cooker cabinet giving me around six foot six of length.

Ive just got a swb semi high again as the low roof is a bit of a pain for height and im thinking of making a bed that lifts up to the roof when not needed.
not yet worked out how to do this but i'll have a go.

Length-wise, I'm, 5-9, and OK my feet were flat on the far side wall, so to really stretch out I had to lie a little diagonal. Our bed was 4 foot 4 inches wide and my wife 5-2, so no problems all in all. I just got used to it.

As others have said, length was 175 cm.
