This all composite Caravan has quite a few unique features,
One is it is made from Carbon Fibre
Does your car have electric windows? How about an electric sunroof, power seats, blind-spot warning or autonomous braking? And your home… Wi-fi, Bluetooth speakers, power-operated blinds and sensor security lights?

We take most of these things for granted in our 21st century lives, but often scoff when today’s technology is applied to caravans: a power lifter to access under-bed storage; power-operated roof vents; motion-sensing interior night lighting; air conditioning that you can run all day off-the-grid; remotely controlled airbag suspension that you can adjust for height to increase wading depth or lean your van away from roadside trees on a bush track

What is the cost to build it in the USA, will tell you why it is a niche market.

The folks on the Travel channel build a lot of fine off-road and durable RVs, all it takes is money.

If you won't pay you can't play. Otherwise we would all own a couple of yachts.
Twenty six foot 2010 Dutchmen Lite pulled with a 2011 EcoBoost F-150 4x4.

Just right for Grandpa, Grandma and the dog.

They do that just to annoy people, also the electrics are very different to what you expect.

Steering wheel is on the wrong side, also.

If it is an AUS camper I'll admit they tend to be very well built. For me though all the electric gizmos are overkill and just one more thing to go wrong.

A lot. People building it make yachts as well, a lot of technology involved

Looks like it has mud tires on it? Is that common for Australia, lots of mud on the roadways?

An Off Road Caravan primarily, that is why the sophisticated suspension

Exactly. No 'Amish Craftsmanship' involved. Every time I see that I laugh.
