I see no increase in space or headroom. When the roof goes up in the front part of the trailer, so does the floor, so the net gain is little to none.
They look cool and let you get into spaces that may have length restrictions, but the trade off is not forth the additional $20K or the upgrade to a bigger truck to pull it.
I'm good with my Outback. JMHO

Have you ever walked through a 5er at an RV show??
Yes, the upper sections have some lower head room, we have 6'-1" in our bed room. Then we have the living area that goes from 8' and tapers to the rear of the 5er to 7'-3". The storage advantage is more cabinets in the taller parts of the 5er, and the basement, which in some units is near 3' tall or more.
