Eventually the canvas wears out and requires replacement. Moreover, the built-in crap in a popup tub is mostly useless. We only use the table outside, not inside. The storage cabinets require us to stand on our heads to see inside them. The sink is a joke and basically worthless. We always cook outside. When the canvas wears out I could be in the mood to gut and and rebuild, placing one bed in the "tub" and ditching the cabinets, dinette, and vanity or whatever that thing is with a sink on top. Your fiberglass pieces look like a viable concept for a full conversion to a hardsided trailer. As stated above, it might not provide the exact teardrop shape I'd dream of. But, it would be closer to a teardrop than the popup is currently.
What do you think? Could a gutted popup be a platform for this concept? Could the cost get close to the $920 canvas replacement price?

A few weeks back I did few concept drawings for someone who wondered if they could do something similar to the design for the Sawtooth XL, so I did some variations on that; here's one of the TrailTop variants in ACU...

About your sewing area, my mom used to sew curtain for people and she used large boards set on saw horses, The boards were covered in a canvas type material that had padding under it. she would starch the canvas so material slide easily.

I would like a vertical hinged door (90 at the top) and reduce the lower angle "distance" to about 18 inches (60-30). I hope this is clear. Thanks again for all the ideas and I really hope someone does pick up your idea for manufacture!
