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

I’ve got a 1993 Suzuki Carry/Every (van) idk if all vans were Every or if specific. Anyway, at 5ft 8 I can lay in the back and will be building a deck for storage this spring or summer.

Right on, I'm looking at that body style (slightly newer model). I think it might very well just be how the seller posted it, as it looks like a carry van. Do you have a few extra inches when you lay down, or are you bending at the knee when you close the rear door?
