I find the Westy fine for sleeping on the bottom bunk or on the top bunk with my head at the back (low) end. My feet do hang over the edge but I got used to that in my teens. I don't like the top bunk with my feet at the back (low) end because I am worried I will kick out the canvas. As for driving, the Westy works for me from the point of leg room and head room (just barely mind you) but I find the visibility somewhat impaired (out the windows, of gauges, and of mirror angles). Other than a Westy I would prefer a small car anyway, so I couldn't expect more room anyway. My C$0.02 (US$0.0144)
