Seriously though.. I dont doubt that what you are saying is true, I am going to explore the possibility during my install and will make that decision at that time.. its all speculation until my camp-top is installed.
Having only 80 inches of sleeping area makes it a bit tight for having a hatch under your pillow when your wife needs to get below to tinkle!
It would be much easier to lift your legs a bit to give the required room to maneuver. I thought of making a split hatch at the end but the logistics of moving bedding in the middle of the night would make that a pain!
Like I said earlier.. its gonna be a fun summer!

Thats how I have been going in and out of mine
Wow!
At my age you are happy to wake up each day
Was it the lack of overhead space or congestion of the seats/center console that made it difficult?
Lack of overhead space mainly. Like I said it’s doable, but I don’t think you’ll be happy with it as a long term solution. If you don’t want to cut your roof just use a ladder as Phil does. If the sunroof hole was in the rear of the vehicle then it would be an awesome way to access the bed.
FWIW - Even after I cut my roof I will still use mt ladder to get in and out.
I'm 6'4" and in pretty good shape.
I tried getting into the Campteq from the sunroof once.
I gave up upon realizing that I might have to call the fire department to extract myself -- an embarrassing distraction of emergency services that would risk staining the interior cloth with whatever torso lube they'd have to use.

Some measurement for the guys thinking about building out the inside.
A 3/4 cut keeps the full back accessible up to the back of the seats
Side measurements on horizontal at the noted measurement
Floor measurements from the back of the tailgate forward

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing as that is how the troopy's are configured, but then they are something like 15" longer so that works without disturbing pillows and such.
We dont have it so easy!

3/4 is the way to go for me. I'm thinking of interior layout possibilities and was just doing the same as @LandCruiserPhil with the measurements.
I was thinking about a build that would leave one rear seat, but I'm not sure. I'd really like an area to sit, maybe something fold down and a small swing out table for eating or a laptop.
The other side would need to hold the fridge and have a place to put the stove if I needed to cook something inside...
I'd be losing the storage in the arb drawers and haven't figured that out yet.. I'm wondering if this platform is just too small for those ideas ????
What are you planning Phil?
