you could make it sorter by making 1/2 the bed fold up in to a couch this would open up the drop floor and give you siting area during the day. this is what i did in my tt and it worked so well i plan on doing in my next.
im also working with the idea of a canvas drop floor with a hard bottom that gos all the way to the ground but can be lifted all the way up when diving. this could cut down the hight of a standy by bit!
