Boondocking would be okay, since a person stays in one place for a while, perhaps multiple weeks. It looks uninhabitable all closed up, though. It'd be great if one could at least climb in and sleep in the case of bad weather conditions or arriving at night when it's a bad time (or simply inconsiderate) to set up camp. I'm going to subscribe, because I want to see these minds further at work. Something great will come forth, just not this time. Consider it a prototype. They should have a variety of people test it out for troubleshooting and brainstorming improvements for the next update.

I can think of one scenario where this camper works. If you are going down really rough trails where a regular camper won't fit or would get shaken apart, and once you get there you're planning to stay at least a week, AND you go to multiple places like that, not your own property where you could build a cabin instead. In that one scenario this would work for a person who doesn't like putting up with minimalist camping for a week at a time.

I love this concept! A+ for creative solutioneering. It reminds me of the videos of creative multiuse artists make of their Manhattan apartments, where they need to be studio, bedroom, and kitchen/living area, but can't be all three at the same time. The modularity and folding away of an entire home. It left me with a couple of "why" questions, though; and the tent poles burst my enthusiasm. The poles look just like three housekeeping failures I've experienced: the meh shower pole with 4 shelves, that I've forced to persevere and now only has two shelves and is very flimsy; the ironing board/laundry bags (3) combo that mostly works but falls apart frequently, and the canvas shelf unit that was an embarrassing waste of money on mostly nonrecyclable materials. Perhaps it requires seeing and feeling them in-person to ascertain the quality of your components Now for the whys. It seems odd that the pull-out tray adjacent to the cooktop uses the same airspace. It also seemed strange that fold-outs by the fridge were facing the opposite direction from the cooking area, while the fridge was in between. I would like to see that configuration tweaked, somehow, to one person could access all the prep area at once, with priority over direct access between stove and fridge-which is nice, but awkward in this layout. Could the fridge move to where the pull out tray is? Perhaps embed the stove where the fridge is now, and allow it to swivel so as to use it in the same position it was here. It seems the stove slide-out could be embedded in that larger slide-out, rotate 90° within the larger tray, then pull out perpendicularly either alongside the camper or extending it, choice upon use. That would certainly help with potential air/smoke circulation.

A Solar Generator,Gas Inverter Generator,folding 5foot lightweight table,got 2 cheap like new cole camp stoves 1 propane 1 white gas or pump gas only caveat with pump gas requires occasional cleaning of the components. Have a catalytic heater & Mr Buddy plus a Little Buddy heater.. -30 sleeping bag pillows extra covers & blankets. Cookware utensils Etc. 5gallon Water jug, got good set of sockets basic tire repair kit air compressor,good hydraulic Jack and commonly used hand tools.. power inverter myriad of lights,several flashlights,gas can etc. Canned goods and non perishables.. 6x6 Canopy and other things. It all stores neatly in home Depot storage containers and under bed. Solar panels are secured and stored on top of mattress.... I had a family member that stopped camping gave me some things... Most everything else was easily found second hand at yard sales thrift stores or Facebook market place Craigslist.. I can use this van as extra vehicle if needed. Having stated all that I got under $4,000 in Everything vehicle included!! Bought the van in Fall of 2019 it was a Carpent Installer's Company Van that had been meticulously maintained for $1,000 with 150K Miles ... its a 1 ton V8 4 speed Automatic no frills work van and the 4 years I've owned it I've only put 2 hundred dollars in repairs.. it's mechanically sound and very dependable. Tires are still good... Exhaust and brakes are still perfect... Start idols and runs like brand new... The best part if I ever have to get another Van everything can be easily moved to other van... Don't have to worry about leaks and very safe inside when sleeping.. it has excellent ground clearance and with a heavy duty frame and suspension with aggressive tread on rear tires it allows accessing places that towing a camper would be near impossible... The Badger is very expensive for something you have to tow and you're still sleeping in a tent... As things start to wear out it would be very expensive to fix and maintain... Unless you have money to burn it seems very very impractical.

Interesting compact design for those who don’t have enough space for a full size caravan to sit on their home property. It would be a pain if one has to bug out from their camp site in an emergency. Are seals made from a common profile in case we need to replace them due to damage from field use or age? Seems like every company has custom made profiles and keeps them secret if the fail and go out of business. Same goes for residential refrigerators and freezers for the home. Proprietary seals that send perfectly good appliances to the dump. The solar panel needs more adjustment points for better power output. Many times you cannot park a camper for optimum solar production.
