If you're looking for detailed dimensions on the Citroën Jumpy (or Dispatch), you're in the right place. I've listed the exact dimensions here below (including interior load area dimensions).
First off, the Jumpy and Dispatch are EXACTLY the same van. It's called 'Dispatch' in the UK, and Jumpy everywhere else. Apart from right-side-steering, it's entirely the same. I'll use the names interchangeably throughout this article. Just thought it'd be good to get that out of the way.
The Dispatch is a full panel, small cargo van. It's great for independent contractors who want something economical but also comfortable and spacious. It's also used to build compact camper vans - more on that later.
This is the second generation of these vans, also called Mark 2. It's built from 2007 - 2016. The Jumpy is the base platform for loads of other vans. The second generation shares its dimensions with the Peugeot Expert and the Fiat Scudo, but things really get crazy with the third generation. From the top of my head, the Dispatch forms the base for a dozen other vans.

As I've mentioned, people actually create camper vans on this small cargo van frame. Most of those are DIY projects, built by creative people, but you can get your van converted by a professional carpenter.
The advantage of using such a compact van are mostly economical reasons: it's cheaper, has better mileage, drives comfortably, and so on.
The downsides are also obvious: you have very little space. You can't stand up in it (at all). There are no original high top models available, but you can get self-built high tops. However, I've bought a self-built high top once, and it will probably be rusty and leaky along the edge, so be wary of that.
So you can't stand in it, but that doesn't stop people from using their imagination and making it work.
Here's a cool Jumpy camper conversion example:
