1. Tall but not tall enough to sit up in bed or standup.
2. Front window is one of the most common places for leaks in Class Cs and TCs.
3. Marker lights are also one of the most common places for leaks. I don't think they are absolutely required. Host doesn't have them on theirs.
4. Seems expensive for a very basic design, but I guess everything does any more.

Frankly, the fiberglass panel idea with square lines seems good, but I feel a popup or A-frame idea like some TTs would make more sense.
I agree there's a lot of things about the design I'm uncomfortable with. The blunt nose is just wrong and I'd rather have squared sides and inside storage over the tapered sides they have now. Supposedly it's to reduce sway. I dunno. Maybe in crosswinds, but then why not do the same for the part that's going to be directly into the wind most of the time?
Other than that, the basic layout looks functional and I do think they're on to something with that construction technique. I'm just not sure how well it'll work in colder climates, or hotter ones for that matter. Aluminum has great thermal transfer properties so you've just made a heat sink that has fins both inside and outside the camper, all around the camper?
