What is the interior height in a Chinook?

Post by morgan61 »

Hoping some of you owners could tell me what the interior height is in these rigs is? I'm 6 ft tall . My original desire was to get a Toyota Sunrader but I need to stoop a bit and this would get old real fast. I have since changed my search to find a Chinook. Having not been inside one yet, hoping you guys could also tell me how comfortable the sofa/bed is for someone my size. I will be traveling alone and exploring the country and spending alot of time in it. Thanks in advance

I am not a person by any mean, and I will hit the inside top portion of the rear door if I stand up straight on the last step. They padded the area, so it is not a concern, but you do need to duck when you enter/exit the rig as you use the stairs.

The inside of the rig in the middle portion is around 78 inch, but the roof top AC and the light take some room, so you are looking at 73 or 74 inch. Definitely you can't have an hairstyle like Marge Simpson. I think the best thing is to get inside one. I did not measure the bathroom, which may not let you standup and do you business like a real man... i don't know.

Any tall folks among us who can tell morgan61 what it is like inside the rig? I think if you are 6 ft, you will have to wear a cap since it is very close to the items mounted on the roof.
