The "average" person has got a few inches taller and somewhat rounder over the last four decades. Must be all that Aussie beef in them Big Macs, washed down with all that Fosters and XXXX.

buggarIf you are over 5'6" ,like a good mattress then don't buy one..very cramped for larger people.
i would like to have one but by no stretch of the imagination can i fit in these dimensions
and the cheese says she loves me so much that she wants to look like me so if one is too large
two is overkill
thanks for the info john

I'd beg to differ. I'm 6'2 and can stand full height in mine. (roof up obviously :roll: )bigcarle wrote:buggarIf you are over 5'6" ,like a good mattress then don't buy one..very cramped for larger people.

Likewise, I have slept in it and it was damn comfy. Bit of a squeeze to sleep on the drivers side cos of the steering wheel, but if your woman is a little shorter then it'd be fine!
They're obviously not that big a van and a 4-berth conversion must've been very very claustrophobic, but for the size of the van it is very well kitted out and usable.
Best bet is to try one out if you can.
