Depends on where you camp.  It might be vital.  :-)

If you want to stand up in you van.  An alternative ( that I have) is the
"Car Top Tent" which mounts to standard roof racks on any car, folds out and
is the size of a queen size bed.  Costs about $600 if I remember right.

I'd like to hear more about this last item.  Are all of these from Country
Homes?  Do they have a catalog that shows/describes these?  What's their
number?
