WOW! $60,000 / 6000 LB Truck Camper

I voiced some my concerns on another thread:
1. If you run an LPG generator often while running the heater in the winter, the dual 20 lb tanks are not enough for our use.
2. I prefer more wardrobe space with a queen sized bed than having to lift the bed to access storage. The wardrobe also creates better sound insulation in the side wall.
3. Loose furniture makes for more dynamic living space, but what does it take to secure and free the furniture if you move around often?
4. We have the convection/microwave and do not miss the LPG oven, but then again we use the generator or hookups more than many truck campers.
5. A larger fridge is always welcome, but we liked the larger holding tanks in the previous Eagle Cap's despite what others have requested.
6. I question locating the batteries where you cannot access them when loaded on the truck. How will you remove the camper from the truck if you have a battery or charger failure, do the manual crank thing on a 6000 lb TC?
7. The shower looks like it allow water past the tub. They need shower walls or a deeper tub so the curtain stays contained.
8. TV placement seems oriented for the dinette more than the alternate more comfortable seating. If the TV swings out, it appears to limit access to the kitchen.
9. I have asked the manufacturers for models where the street side slide does not have to be deployed to access the cab over and bath. Evidently none of them parallel park on roads where the slide could cause interference with traffic?
