To do as much from an engineering point of view is perhaps not such a “big deal”, given that a few other speciality manufacturers such as Anderson Mobile Estates have done the same — see https://andersonmobileestates.com .
But what really sets CMC Caravans apart, is that it marries advanced pop-up and slide-out technology with terrific Italian design. Design that very actively strives to create interior spaces that don’t “feel” like cramped motorhome spaces at all; that instead “feel” more like small apartments.
When it comes to interior design, CMC seems to very actively strive to “hide” the pop-up and/or slide-out technology that makes the large interiors of its caravans possible. In the following photos, for instance, one has to look and think a bit to realise that this is a pop-up interior; that when retracted, the roof descends down to the same level as the bed and cabinets:

The following are some interior views that convey just how wide and expansive the interiors of CMC Caravans “feel”. Once again, I downloaded these a few years back, and as near as I can tell, none of these photos are available on the web anymore. One would probably need to use the “Wayback Machine” for CMC Caravans to find them.
Furthermore, these are photos for those interiors that I especially liked. CMC had complete “photo sets” of circa 15 - 20 different builds available on its website, and I downloaded the lot. Whereas here I’ve posted only a small, abridged subset:

CMC seems very “open” to client whimsy….
For instance, in the photo immediately above one can see that the kitchen is equipped with a traditional gas-fired stove, of the kind one might find in a country house. It’s probably an Italian model, but it’s reminiscent of the ultra-luxe traditional stoves created by the French manufacturer “La Cornue” — see https://lacornue.com/en-GB .
If in fact it is a “La Cornue” stove, then all I can say is “le wow”….😂

Perhaps the most “mind blowing” feature of CMC Caravans, is that most of them seem equipped with full bathtubs. And those bathtubs typically sit against an outside wall, which means they are situated on the second and “most cantilevered” slide-out. How CMC manages the weight of the water once filled, and so too the plumbing to / from sinks and bathtubs located in the second, most-outside, “most-cantilevered” slide-out, is quite beyond me…..
But gosh, some of its bathtub settings are truly breathtaking, replete with elaborate tile-work:
