The A class Outlaw has a raised roof. Had you ever seen comments on handling or MPG? I never noticed any postings on this subject... but you bring up a good point.

Yes, plenty of poor handling reports on this forum alone. As with high performance and race cars, keeping center of gravity and pressure low is usually better.
Note on video of Cross Trek how high the garage floor is compared to typical European motorhome garages. I’m curious to inspect a Cross Trek in person to see what’s under the garage. Perhaps there is a great reason they could not lower it more in order to increase bed headroom.
The garage floor seems to come up high on lady, whereas many Euro motorme garages start just above knee height. Euro garages are often stepped down, whereas this one seems level with motorhome floor. I’m guessing it’s partly to avoid dragging rear of motorhome because of longer rear overhang.
I’m just glad Coachmen is taking a chance, and hope Thor follows with Hymer-like designs.
