      Hi there, the roof bed was rarely used and would only really be suitable for a child to stay in. I would highly recommend getting the scenic canvas without the roofbed. This would give you more headroom.

      With the bed it makes it the same height, but without the bed it adds about 3/4 inches of added height. Which does make quite a difference
