It also looks like they are working on/coming out with/imagining a modular hitch-mounted system like the Yakima EXO System. You can see in one picture it has a storage-like thing and in another they have bike racks:
I mean, camp kitchen, but that's pretty cool.
Also, I'm seeing the same crossbars across all model ranges, which, if true, thank goodness.

That tent looks like it was designed by someone who's never camped outside of California before. It would do horribly in rain with that large flat expanse on top and seemingly no provisions for overhangs on the windows/door to block rain. One of the worst things in an RTT in the rain is not being able to have adequate ventilation without getting wet.

Could just be a picture w/o the rainfly. Here's our iKamper w/o the fly, which may garner similar critique.
In any case, if it makes it to market (big if), I'd bet that it's in partnership with a manufacturer who knows what they're doing.
