Yes, that one was done the easy way. I have done some like that. You
don't get a permanent upper bed but you can have a removable one that
you put up there when the top is raised. The main benefit is standing
room and a place to put your stuff out of the way when you are camped.
You also get great ventilation when camped in warm weather. I did my 87
Syncro this way 12 years ago. Here is a link to photos of one I did last
year with my friend Mike, showing the details and process.
