I think there is some space used between the walls for insulation, wiring, etc.
The lower floor clearance does explain why Winnebago had to start at square one with floorplan design and making grey/fresh/black water tanks fit. The fact that European rigs use cassette toilets (which don't require the plumbing for a black tank including making sure the commode is directly underneath) made it impossible to just copy a floorplan from across the pond and make it work.
I'm hoping Winnebago improves their floor plans... the Travato plan right now might be OK for a single person who is using the van as a secondary trip vehicle, but the rear bed that shares width with the bathroom is marginal at best for a couple. I do like the relatively big fridge, the push in latches for the cabinets, and SMEV stove/sink tops, so it isn't all bad, but I'm sure there are better floor plans that can be done.
