I like it, though that might be because I own something similar, albiet less fancy. I like most of the entire concept, except it needs a kitchen, but overall I think it is a very neat concept. Airstream has been trying similar things for years now, from the Basecamp to the Eddie Bauer trailers. They all have a similar design to this, just different functions.
I don't see how someone could think that it is claustrophobic. The giant skylights, wrap around front window, and unobstructed view out the rear would make the trailer feel bigger then it is. I really dislike most trailers sold here in the US because they don't have enough light. I don't go camping to sit in a box with a handful windows that you can barely see out of.
I'm definitely drawn to trailers that have a lot of windows, it is just a shame there aren't many. Some 5er's do ok with windows, but I don't want to lose the bed space. Motorhomes are nice because of the windshields and they typically have more windows throughout, but I really don't want the $$$ that come along with one. Airstreams are nice for their windows, but again $$$ for what you are really getting.
Manufactures can do better, but American buyers need to step up and be willing to pay for it. I think we are slowly getting there though. 5 years ago it was unheard of for people to spend 25K on a compact car. Now, people like myself, are buying them for more than that and car manufactures are taking notice. Just for example, look at the Ford Focus interior lately, the car tops out a little over 30K now:
