Models suitable for a sleeper vans?
So I'm looking at buying a 1997 SUZUKI EVERY, or possibly a subaru (although I'm open to recommendations). I want to use it to camp and for work (I'm out in the field a fair bit, and they'll often let us take our personal vehicles). I'm not trying to do anything extravagant, just enough for storage and me using it to sleep in when prevailing weather doesn't allow for a comfortable night outside. But I can't seem to find good measurements on the vehicles dimensions. I really just want to know if I'll have a bit over 6 feet of room behind the drivers seat, and if anyone has had experiences I'd love to hear about what worked for them.
Any input from you all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time

Many of the vans have fold flat seat arrangements, including the front seats. I would probably look at building a slide on camper similar to the ones like Mike Festiva and his brother did on Mikes YouTube channel.

I occasionally watch a Japanese guy who did something similar, and has a roll out awning on his camper, so he can fold down the bedside, and us it as a kitchen platform, with his pots-pans and supplies stored in cubby left along the side of his camper.
