I'm not a TC owner -> I own a Class C 24 footer on an E450 dually chassis, but:
The Host TC photos seem to indicate the same negative that I have with our motorhome ... and that is it's wind catching, upward center of gravity shifting ... HEIGHT!
That Host TC looks very tall - which of course can make for handling uneasiness on highway curves, in strong cross-winds, and on the sideways-tipped surfaces of back country roads - even when taking into account the wider rear stance of a dually chassis.
It seems to me that the ultimate design/engineering challenge would be to design a hard-sided popup TC that packed in as much as possible off-grid capability. I wonder what would result if HOST applied their considerable expertise into offering an off-grid hard-sided popup with over the top capabilities.
Most TC owners modify their trucks with heavy stabilizer bars, greater damped shocks and increased spring capacity to counter sway. Some will even upgrade to 19.5" wheels to reduce sidewall flex. If your motorhome is wallowing in the wind, you may want to take look at some of the upgrades done in this section of the forum to help counter tall COG loads.
