I'm 6'4" and have no problems sleeping in the lower bed, lengthwise, head towards the rear hatch. When I used to sleep up top, I made a 12' extension piece to make the upper bunk longer. If a full Westy, cut out and sell (For big$$$) the swivel seat base on the drivers side, which lowers the seat a good 1 1/2 inches. I have a Weekender that didn't come with swivel seats, which is fine because I never swiveled the drivers seat anyway. I welded one in for the passenger side since I always swiveled that one. I drove home yesterday from Natural Bus in total comfort, only thing I needed (and may add now) is cruise control. Jeff

Mrs Squirrel and I have a friend in his 60's who asked me if I had any recommendations for a camping vehicle along the lines of a Westy, but better suited for someone who is 6' 4'' (1.9 m).
