If you are interested in non-basement models, also look at older model heavier campers like Fleetwoods and Bigfoots. Other than the height difference, I don't think you are going to get much of a handling advantage with a non-basement model.
The difference is width of floor that is possible and increased side height. Of course, the AC if equipped is higher, but those weigh about 100 lbs.

Things like cabinets that weigh a lot are going to be in the same height. The bed and all of that space is essentially the same height as well.
