I will say it is grasshopper inspired but that would be a lie, cough cough sawtooth cough cough. The difference is the size, the sawtoothxl was 8 foot long 43 inches high, this is 12 long 5 foot high. It will also have a slide out kitchen, a slide out pop up style bed and most likely a pop top for standing room/ventilation. I am not sure where the kitchen is going to go, nor the bed. Might be a rear bed, might be front. Might be side rear litchen, might be front.
Advantages for rear bed is more head room, front advantages more traditional better balance when set up.
Rear kitchen advantages is does not get in the way of the door, front advantage can be a larger slide out. so more for sink, cooler and stove.
I did have a wild idea for the kitchen. Imagine it swinging out from the rear, a 180 degree swing and winding up behind the tire 90 degrees to the body. KInd of like a spare tire carrier swinging 180 degrees.
pics of the current model made from foam board. model is 2 inches to a foot, so its 2 foot long. Plenty of room to see how stuff fits. The door does open,the windows and hatch trims are just electric tape. I did not want to cut any more holes until I had a chance to look at it for awhile to figure the kitchen and bed out
