Interesting, different design, but pricey for sure.
What I liked the best that fits my needs was the water pump on the typical blue 5 gal (I think) container. I tried to search for one like it but so far have come up empty.

I saw the Taxa Tiger Moth at the recent RV show in Denver. Clever, but no cigar for me. But it is less claustrophobic than most teardrops as it has two doors, one on the end, one adjacent on the side, that open, giving it a roomier feel. But really just a bed on wheels, light weight, but around $12,000 starting MSRP. The kitchen is just a pull out drawer type, with room for a Coleman or something and a water jug. Pretty pricey for just that. It might appeal to the Jeep/crawler crowd. YMMV. Just my $.02.

lrrowe - Found one! Don't know why I didn't think to look for something like this before! Looks like the same thing as in the video.

I do like their larger Cricket models but not for the price. Maybe just adapt some ideas.

You just needed to be a part of this forum to get ideas to research items.
Yes that looks like it. Wonder if the threaded part fits the Aqua-Tainer containers?

Seems to be the same pump that the Aqua-Tainer manufacturer sells on their website but less expensive: https://relianceproducts.com/products/hydration/105.html
