[lwptoc] The Dutch are the tallest people in the world.
On average, men are 184 cm tall and women are 171 cm*.
We have quite a lot of people living in our country who reach 2 meters or are even taller than that.
So what to do when you want to go camping in a comfortable way, without always having to bend over or lie diagonally in your bed?
Camping Ratgeber:
Are campers adapted for tall people?
Although there are options for a tall person to go camping in a decent way, there are still many camping equipment manufacturers who do not take this into account.
When you look at caravans, most models have a headroom of 195 cm.
With bus campers, it’s not much better.
You already have to move toward a raised roof or move out to a mace of a camper to get a headroom above 200 cm.
Beds longer than 200 cm and wider than 140 cm are also rare.
Tents additionally have their limitation.
Often the models are designed so that you have headroom in the middle of the tent, but due to the design, they quickly lose headroom towards the sides.
Not much different is the case with folding trailers.
Again, you may have headroom in the middle of the tent, but toward the sides you quickly lose it.
Folding trailers: headroom and a large bed
When designing CAMPWERK’s folding trailers, we looked carefully at ergonomics.
When you take the bed, for example, we not only looked at comfort in the form of a good mattress, but also at size.
A bed 175 cm wide and 220 cm long seems a bit excessive, but it does give a very comfortable feeling and, more importantly, is indispensable for tall people.
The smallest tent of the CAMPWERK tent trailers, the Economy, although slightly lower than the Family, nevertheless has a minimum headroom of 200 cm at the sides and this increases as you move toward the middle.
Even with the bed, enough space between the mattress and the tent roof has been considered so that you don’t feel trapped and so that you can sit up straight in bed without touching the roof.
A positive side effect of having plenty of space between your head and the tent roof is that on hot days it feels less warm inside the tent.
What other factors go into creating an optimal climate in your tent I will write about in another blog. 
A rooftop tent as an alternative
With a rooftop tent, you don’t immediately have the thought that you have a lot of space in this.
And, of course, you can’t stand in almost any rooftop tent.
But the sleeping area of a rooftop tent is usually surprisingly large.
A standard size of a softcover rooftop tent is 140 x 240.
That means you have a length of 240 cm.
Here you have to calculate that with the sloping front and back you can’t use this 240 cm optimally, but effectively there often remains a net length of 220 cm.
So again; always test the roof tent and don’t just compare dimensions from the brochure.
The Skycamp roof tent from iKamper also has the option of using an awning.
And because it is constructed so that it attaches at the top of the entryway, there is headroom here for people over 200 cm tall. 
Roof tent camping is often done as you would travel around with an RV.
So lots of mileage, lots of travel and once at the campsite quickly installed.
Therefore, if you are looking for a (bus) camper, a rooftop tent might also be a good alternative.
Conclusion
So when you’re looking for the ideal camping equipment for you as a tall person, don’t just pay attention to the pretty pictures or dimensions from the brochure, but make up your mind after you’ve properly experienced the differences.
Have no hesitation and ask the salesperson if you can test lie down or walk through the tent as you will on your vacation.
Having a stiff neck or back pain after a few days of camping is certainly not necessary!
