....I like it. A lot. I think that there will be a good market for this truck camper.
Customization seems to be very welcome at the factory.
If they have block foam insulation between the welded aluminum frame that would be a real plus. If the camper tub is made from Azdel sheets over aluminum framing with block foam between the aluminum, that would be exceptional.
I looked carefully at all the manufacturing steps (illustrated in the video), and I would guestimate that the exterior lamilux FRP, the aluminum framing pieces, rubber roof, interior cladding, RV windows, roof vents, RV door, wiring, electrical components (not many, but there are a few items) and converter, the 4 corner jacks and finally, the interior cabinetry would cost appx $5000 ~ $5600. One would have to be one heck of an accomplished welder of aluminum to even attempt a do-it-yourself build like this (how many people know how to weld aluminum professionally and practiced? What, one in 20,000? One in 5000?).
To me, it would be worth my while to just buy this item brand new from the factory for $2000 and pretend I built it, rather than spending 200+ hours and $5000 in one-off full cost ordered parts from Elixir Industries, building it in my garage; but YMMV :)
....on edit: I like the Danby wall-mount aircon; nice touch! I know the family that founded that appliance company. Good value for the dollar, and not a fortune to replace if needed.
