I'm really happy with the height. It's so easy to move around in, even when I have two people cooking/cleaning/living! And I've only had problems with actually needing to park in a garage one time (in Vegas) and we found an even better (and FREE) solution anyway, so it didn't end up being a problem. I also wanted a tall one so that I could build my bed up higher and have more space underneath for storage. Are you in your van full-time?
