A stretched westy! I'm thin but 6'1 and fit into my westy fine. I find the biggest thing for me is the fact that the drivers seat can't recline any further. Luckily I'm used to or its right at where its fine maybe a hair more reclined would be better. I have gorilla length arms. So that said he should try a vanagon that is a non-westy and see if he fits. If he does then maybe a modified sink setup so he could get the seat back further is all he'd need.

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).
