I am 6 feet tall and find the bunks a little short. If I sleep on the bottom
my feet hang off and if I sleep up top I always drop my pillow. I found that
if you get a board cut just the right length, you can build a 'pillow shelf'
up top by extending the bed by a foot. Then I have tons of room.

Have fun and remember to wave at all the other Vanagons on the road...
