They start at roughly $177,000 and $290,000 before upgrade and shipping from New Zealand. There is a version that does not do the swivel thing.
Guessing that Escape has nothing to fear from this potential “competitor”.

Well, I guess that makes 'manual awning' vs 'electric awning' discussions moot!

Seems like the rotating T8 model could be problematic on quite a few campsites but I guess you don't have to rotate it and it still remains fully functional.

27’ X 8’ makes a dry bath and walk around bed pretty easy to accomplish.

I did the conversion for you. It’s $177,000 US.
Oh, and that is for an empty shell that you can use for a mobile office or bookmobile. Maybe a bloodbank.

Funny, that's exactly what I thought when I saw it.
That's a lot of complicated extra mechanical nightmare and extra weight for a covered patio. We have an awning and a rug, gets the job done, and the trailer gives you a wind break from one side and privacy.
Also that's going to be a problem in a lot of campsites.

Definitely not a high-volume item. They might sell a couple hundred, just a guess.
