Like a lot of people have already said, the beds in bunkhouse layouts are never more than 72" long and sometimes only 70". At 6'2", I'm no giant, but I could not sleep in any way but a fetal position in my neighbor's Rockwood bunkhouse. 74" just can't fit in a 72" space no matter what you try.
Even in the big fifth wheels, the shower head is going to be low for your height, but you can find models that have more than enough room 6'5". In my first fifth wheel, I had to stand with my head in the skylight bubble to be able to stand up. Now in our Fuzion toy hauler, there is plenty of head room, they just mount the shower head a little low. At 6'5", I'm sure you are used to that one since all showers seem to be setup for people that are 5'11".
One of the reasons that we bought a toy hauler was that we like having a separate area for the kids to be isolated from the rest of the trailer. The biggest benefit of the TH layout is the bunks in the garage are full queen size with the overall length being closer to 90". I always tell people that the bunkhouse is great when the kids are small, but by the late teens most kids these days are too tall for the beds.
