Do we not have a pebble thread yet?

I'd agree except...

If I can have a remote office that allows me to be where I want to be and have 6 hours a day to enjoy a day while living and working in that surrounding environment, which I have the ability to change. The value in that is beyond the cost of entry. 🤷‍♂️ Again, it's a niche, but it's one where I'm not a square hole. I've always preferred campers to RVs because I don't want the drivetrain tied to the living space, as it's a consumable that's more likely to age out more quickly and I also don't want a camper that requires a 5th wheel. Let me throw a Tundra in front of it, outfit it with a compostable toilet and work from anywhere. With runs to the grocery store and need to fill up the potable water being the limiting factors keeping me coming back as frequently as I'd need to recharge before heading back out. I'm looking at less as a camper and more of a flexible, minimalist portable remote living space. Like a tiny house that isn't static. I've always found tiny houses silly, because they're static. If you find a place that you absolutely want to live it, build something and set roots, but if you want to explore, find something that suites your needs and the needs with regards to your ability to get your professional work done and get to exploring. 

The irony of escaping the city for the simple trappings of nature, in a box packed full of electronic features, does not escape me. Product reliability is very hard to achieve. This thing begs for tier 1 automotive OEM levels of QC.

Do not speak to me of features, speak to me of benefits; will the fishing be better?

The only possible benefit to this level of complexity and cost is that it might get  spouse out of the city who does not want to leave the city in the fist place.

The benefit is pretty simple, to be able to leave the office and living space during the week and be on a trail of at the river's edge in less than 5 minutes and for the ability of the trail and river's edge to change. To be in Girdwood one week, Steward the next and Homer the week after that. To chase sockeye and coho as opposed to hitting up kings when they're what happens to be running outside the door.

I don't think of it as escaping the city for the simple trappings of nature. It's more like escaping the city to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. I don't need to sleep on the ground or eat food full of dirt and ash to do that.

With no described need for A/C, it seems to me that what you've been outlining should be easily achievable with existing 'off-grid' solar/battery type setups when running a propane fridge and oven, rather than 12v compressor fridge and convection microwave. Why pay for 3750ah battery and 1000w solar, when 300-400ah lithium and 200-400w solar will do the job?
