Very few people wish to have a outdoor tent shower or deal with composting or cassette toilets or a complete lack of on board water systems.. Very few people want barebones minimalist accommodations for one or two people, in other words RVs are typically built for family use and will have things that make the family comfortable while out camping. Minimalist camping isn't what mainstream public wants and the big manufacturers understand that and they tend to concentrate on broader market appeal which will sell more and at a faster rate.
My design has all of the comforts and amenities of my previous 27' Airstream International Serenity, just in a smaller package with some very innovative ideas learned over a lifetime of RV'ing. The shower is connected to the trailer in a unique way so as to provide a dry bath without taking up the space of a separate bath and shower. I think a lot of folks would love a dry bath/shower arrangement in a sub 20 foot trailer without sacrificing the square footage to get it. There are no composting or cassette toilets in my plan (Google dry flush toilets). I have an on board water system to supply and collect water to/from the sinks and shower (hot and cold), just without permanent mounted tanks. I think I have some really great, innovative ideas learned over a lifetime to help lessen the negatives with camping in a trailer but retaining the great advantage of un-hitching and having access to your full size tow vehicle for transportation (no other RV system has this advantage in a sub 20 foot configuration). All I need is a company to build it for me...
