Ceiling height (or cargo height) is the interior height of the living space. A vehicle you can stand in is significantly more comfortable to live in, but it obviously increases the vehicle clearance too which can be a disadvantage.
- High ceiling - Motorhomes, box trucks, step vans, some buses
- Moderate ceiling - Trailers, raised-roof vans, some buses
- Low ceiling - Standard-roof vans, pickup trucks with truck bed camper
- Very low ceiling - Cars, minivans, SUVs, pickup trucks with topper
A ceiling height that is not enough to stand up in is a common regret of van owners. Keep in mind that insulation and flooring reduce overall height.
Minivans may have more effective height than SUVs since SUV floors are generally higher. Minivans may also have "Stow-and-Go" seating; if those seats are permanently removed, the floor cavities may be usable for additional storage.
