My Guess is Design By Photoshop

IMHO fact that the concept did not catch up with the market indicate too many problems with it.
When it is very appealing for owners of smaller truck, who could have big camper, I can only imagine how fast the tires wear out and how the tag affect turning radius.
I had bus conversion with liftable tag as even with small distance between main and tag axles, it did make heck of the difference in turning on solid pavement.
Also how the camper frame twisted v/s truck bed?
Lot of potential for mechanical issues and no word from actual owners.

I believe, much like the tag on the Born free, that these used a torsion spring in the support that allowed the tag wheels to pivot to match the turn of the vehicle and then would resume forward tracking as travel straightened out to keep from scrubbing the tires.

These campers had a special bumper/frame attachment point that would be installed on the truck that would tie it in structurally to the tag axle assembly.

On the Born free, the spring based suspension would be adjusted to the normal ride-height of the carrying truck when first setup, with the MotoVan, it looks like you could more easily adjust by using the air suspension to raise/lower the connection frame to line up with the attachment point on the truck and since each wheel is independent, it could be adjusted to match the camber of the ground it was detached on.

During the time these were sold, Motorhomes as we know them now, were a smaller share of the market and fairly expensive to own for a vehicle that couldn't be used for anything else most of the year.

Also, dually pickups were a bit of a rare duck, almost all camper haulers of the era were Bias ply single rear wheel rigs (Ford had a 16.5x12" super single for their F350s).
