it wasn't one of the Sniper series from North Coast was it?

they had a deal with ARB and their vans were very ARB'd out at one stage...

Notice they don't show putting up the extra awnings after saying that up to that stage it is a one person set up.

Definitely not my style, seems a bit too plastic for me. I can see the attraction of Australia wide warranty/service. Not sure it does enough different from anything else on the market, some good ideas here and there like keeping everything (including spare tyre) inside the camper.
Storage seems a bit light on?

Lack of storage was my initial thoughts as well.
Their custum made, shaped canvas bags (and not very big) have to be, as nothing else would fit in the available spaces.
I was going to comment (negatively) on pantry and fridge layout, but just had a look at Tvan and it isn't much better.

Brochure, including weights https://view.publitas.com/arb-4x4-accessories-1/arb-earth-camper-brochure/page/44-45

while I'm a fan of various bags for storage. (your should see my collection of Aldi green canvas bags)

my wife hates the idea... so she wasn't impressed with the ARB camper.

she took one look at the walk around video and said that it looked like a two person Portaloo.

Now I can't unsee that...
