Class B vans similar to Dodge Xplorer

Are there any camper vans that are similar to the older Dodge Xplorers in that there is a lowered floor with 6 feet of standing room inside? I would prefer a lowered floor rather than a raised roof because my town has a height restriction of 7'.
The Xplorer is perfect because it allows me to stand up inside, park it in my garage, and it only barely goes over my neighborhood height restrictions (so I don't think it will be noticed).

If there are other camper vans with lower floors out there that would give me more options to choose from and I might be able to find a van close to me.

Or if you have any other suggestions that would be awesome too!
Thanks.
Class B

    My first RV was a Class B Roadtrek on a Dodge chassis. Are there places it won't fit? Yes. Its too long for a single metered parking space on the street and its too tall to fit in a multilevel parking garage on the road or my garage at home.
    The last straw was a driveshaft U Joint recall on my still under warranty RT. The water tank was mounted under the drive shaft and Dodge wouldn't pay to have it dropped because the tank was an aftermarket addition. Roadtrek wouldn't pay because nothing they added was broken. So I paid.

    I don't get. There is a 83.9 inch high, can't stand up, and a 105 inch, well over 7'.

    I didn't say the roof wasn't raised. I said the roof is not raised like the Roadtrek. In other words its not as high (about a foot shorter.. which would make it around 7').

    Your welcome.



    But you can't stand up in it. Or any other B without being noticeably higher that 7'.

    Please provide a link to the Xplorer without a raised roof (higher than the stock van roof).

    Thanks.

    @ BudJ
    The Dodge Xplorer does not have a raised roof like the Roadtrek and I'm pretty sure its about a foot shorter in height.
    Perhaps though you are just saying that I'm not going to find a camper van anywhere close to 7' other than the Xplorer.

    The Roadtrek Chevrolet Express van B's have a lowered floor with about a 6'1" of standing room. They vary a little, but the height is about 8'6" or more!

    You are Not going to find any 7' fixed roof B, not even close to 7'.
