We had a ROO 23SS for nearly 8 seasons and loved it. Didn't mind the extra jobs needed with a HTT. But then old age crept up while we weren't watching and it really became a chore. We moved to a Rockwood 2604 and life is good.
Agree that the floorplan of the IKSS is awesome and I just about had a fit when I saw it on the hybrid side of the forum. We all did. Then some little issues were noticed and these may or may not be a problem for you, but these were the most commonly mentioned. While on the road, the frig and bathroom are not accessible without at least partially opening a slide....not good if you're not pretty level. The slide on the curb side would be a huge downside for us....you lose a lot of outdoor space. Seems like there was some question on the bathroom, but can't recall what it was. It is gorgeous and I love the island kitchen, but too many downsides and we needed to change from a HTT anyway.
Not familiar with the Outback you're considering, but looking at the pix it looks like the layout is very similar to our 2604. While we miss some of the camping experience with a HTT, the TT is much better for us now.
