I'd give it a maybe. I'm especially curious about the design of the two piece door and the overcab side walls. Insulation? Seals?
Is this a camper or more of a class C earthroamer type pop up? Looks like the camper is part of the chasis, ala Class C. If so, what are the jacks for?

I think it needs a couple of more vents on top.

Interesting concept!

Why is "no propane" an advantage? Does it really limit where you can go with it? I've only heard of restrictions with a few tunnels, ferrys, or bridges. Are there other places that restrict propane? Seems to me that the kind of places where this is designed to go would have few restrictions, if any. I'm obviously missing something...

Those are obviously air brakes.

I think you will find that those are solar panels. It looks cool but I would need propane.

If the rig is designed to use on board-diesel for heat, cooktop and hot water, that would be a propane replacement and is appealing to me. It would need a trick 12V fridge like some folks with Outfitters have.
Having to deal with one fuel type is an advantage in my book.
