I just want to add that in my opinion the above camper trailer is more cute than practical ("wine and cheese" instead of "beer and hot dogs" ).

I just posted it for an example of something with a pop-up that wasn't the whole roof, but just a small raised area so you could stand up in a critical spot - basically the kitchen/galley.

Mitchell in Denver used to make a "fishing hut" non-cabover slide-in camper that had a permanent raised channel right down the middle of the roof, sort of like those old rail cars. That reduces the frontal resistance, and I've found when off on the back roads that it's the outside corner of a camper that usually hits a tree when you run over a rock or stump on the opposite side.
