 If you are planning to install a rack, pay attention to how the top is mounted relative to the rain gutters.  Some are inset from the gutters far enough to allow the mounting of standard tall racks.

+Not everyone wants, needs, or is willing to pay for a high roof van.  Many people "live out of the van" rather than in the van, meaning they spend most of their time other than sleeping outside the van.  For those people, a high roof would be a needless expense.
+Tips for living in a standard low roof van:
+  * live "out of the van" as mentioned above:  cook, sit, and work outside as much as possible.
+  * install a hard, even floor and use a rolling office chair to get around without stooping
+  * install an emergency exit or skylight that allows you to stand in one specific space for dressing, hygiene, to stretch,etc.
