5'5" and 140 lbs. I would flip the driver's seat back all the way. Where I have slept a couple of times. When severe thunderstorms (with possible tornadoes) hit while camping.

Its a little more difficult to sleep in the back when you're 6' tall.

You've got it all wrong lol.

I guess it's just a preference thing. I use my cargo area to store luggage, camera/laptop backpacks, cooler, chairs, snack area, tool box, and misc. Jeep components. Within the next few years, I have my mind set on picking up a 50QT./63QT. ARB Fridge/Freezer to eliminate the cooler.

The convenience of the RTT is just so nice. It literally takes 5-8 minutes to open up and get all the rain flys in, and another 5-8 minutes to collapse and put the cover on. The cool thing also is that you can leave you pillows, sleeping bags, blankets, and even throw in some of your luggage into the RTT for additional room saving.

I'm only stand 5ft. 6in., 150lbs. and sleeping in the cargo was do-able... I just happened to stumble upon a Group Buy and get a killer deal on the RTT that I was eventually going to get anyway. Win-win.
