I always liked the design, from afar. (Not actually been able to get a good look at one.)
The few that I have seen for sale might as well had been made of gold... at least they were asking that much for them. (And they do not have the support of the GMC.)

They do get fairly good MPG depending on which motor ( BMW diesel or the Buick V6 ) the unit has in it. I have been in one as one of our past members, Don Wirth who died a few years ago owned on. A lot like a class B Roadtrek inside, his was finished out inside nice, but not a lot of real room to move around in as everything folds up when traveling. As other have said material support is limited, but they do have an online owners group.

They don't get 30mpg.
I looked at one before I got my GMC. It was more money than I wanted to spend at the time, but was pretty cool. They are a lot like a boat inside, lots of fiberglass, like a casita trailer.
The best one to get is the latest year with a Buick V6, IMO. LOTS of engine choices to mate to that transaxle...

Is there any A/C? If there is, it's well-hidden. It's certainly not as good a long term dry camper as a GMC, but it really looks like just the ticket for those long, rambling road trips where you're going to be hooked up to shore power and plumbing, or just overnighting where you won't need them.
