I'm 5' 6'' and she is 5' 2''. Snicker and point if you wish, but the two of us fit very cozily into the lower bunk. What we can't do comfortably is reach the built-in luggage rack on the roof, or get up into the upper bunk without clambering all over the counter. We could use some kind of very lightweight leanable collapsible or otherwise easily-stowed ladder. Hangable from the upper bunk like on a bunk bed; and leanable against the outside so a short guy could fuss around with luggage without needing to hold on for dear life like I have to do when I stand on a seat. Anything like that out there? -- Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Elliott 71 Type 2: the Wonderbus 83.5 Westfalia: Mellow Yellow ("The Electrical Banana") KG6RCR
