Yes, that was my van. The initial CCV upper bed was a clever creation but it was under engineered and broke in an impressive failure. I liked that original CCV setup because it dropped down and gave a little more headroom for adults and kids, but it wasn't safe.
Once that failed I had a local builder tear that out and build a removable sectional upper bed that used the original roof section over the front seats. This worked well and was nice to be able to store a lot of stuff up there when not sleeping. The negative is it was tight for adults. I slept up there many times when my father was with me and he slept below. It was tight getting up but I slept great once in place and just opened the windows and fan if I got hot. For kids it had plenty of room and they loved having their own space!
Let me know if you have more questions.
You can look at part 6 of that build series or I left the final photos before selling here:
