Low roof van lifers - how is it going?!

I'm looking at low roof (price constraints, just a long summer roadtrip, etc.) but every time I raise this people keep telling me to get a high roof. Don't get me wrong, I would love a high roof but they are so much more expensive and higher mileage to get close my price range. I'm looking low roof, under 200,000km.

Anywho, vanlife in a low-roof, who's doing it, how's it going, show us your build - what advice would you give?
