To boldy go where no camper has gone before...
THIS is insane.

Agree.
My TT has a spring over and tall tires, pretty decent ground clearance - I call The Sheep Wagon because it sits so high it looks like one. I haven't had it very long, pretty new to TT's, but we have been taking it boondocking on long dirt roads in the Uintas and in the mountains of southern Utah. But I'm sure a steady diet of the kind of rough stuff, frame dragging, deep water crossings etc. featured in that video would have my TT in pieces quickly.
I'm not aware of a U.S. maker of similar. I think the market for such would be microscopic here. Just from the people I know who gravitate towards the two activities, it seems like RV'ers and back country overland adventurers are two very different breeds.
I'd probably be one who would really, really want one, and would actually really use it as intended, but who would NOT be able to afford it. As it is, I have a TT that I take my family camping in (and camping for us means generally avoiding anything that resembles a campground, but with a TT also avoiding anything truly remote...). And I also have a well kitted out Jeep that I take into the most remote vehicle accessible locations available in the contiguous 48 - without the family.
If I had one of these TT's, I might be able to do both at the same time. How cool would it be to setup in one of these at The Dollhouse in The Maze district of Canyonlands, for example? I think my family would LOVE it! I really don't think I could afford one though...
