I'm looking at these because they are similar in shape to TABs but actually lighter and significantly cheaper (but still have a 2 yr warranty)

The 5K btu AC might struggle in outside temps higher than 90 degrees, and I've had a couple of side-vent fridges (as opposed to roof vent) that had trouble in heat as well. Where and when you want to camp might matter.
I'll also comment that the main deterrence for me personally would be the relative lack of upper cupboards for storage. I've had a trailer in the past (an Aliner) with no upper storage, and at my age bending over to dig through under-seat storage or bottom cupboards for every single thing I need quickly became tiresome. But if you're in your 40s or younger, that might not matter so much to you.
Those are the only negatives that come to mind right now. The company's philosophy sounds nice. The cynic in me wonders how long they'll be independent, though, since the large companies can make a small RV mfr's owners quite well off when buying them out... and that might be the real goal, eventually! Until then they might build some decent stuff.
