The luggage on the roof changes the center of gravity of the vehicle - it is raised. This increases the danger of tipping over and the aerodynamic drag increases. As a result, your vehicle is more sensitive to crosswind and air pressure when a wheel or truck overtakes you. In curves the driving stability also deteriorates due to the higher center of gravity. Your vehicle will tilt more.
