The rear seat bases fold to support the top of the rear seat back when the rears are folded down. This effectively limits the cargo space to just under 6ft. For more room — 6+ feet, you can remove the rear seat bases (or just one - say, the passenger side), fold the seat backs down to rest on the seat base hinges and then move the passenger seat forward. The jump seats (if you have them) fold flat under the rear cargo area and shouldn't make any difference in the useable length.
The various panels in the cargo area all sit at different heights in relation to each other making for a lumpy bed. I'd suggest finding a piece of foam rubber to lay on if I were sleeping in back.
My experience in making long wagon trips was that I preferred to fully recline the passenger seat and sleep in it.

How many people ?
Does it have the jump seat arrangment ?
Does it have the deal where the right backseat passenger seat will fold down apart from the other ?
Do you have a 20 below zero down sleeping bag ?

Do you have a reservation at Motel 6?
