As inspiring as this build looks, it is neither an EC, ER, GXV, or falls into the category of "Small volume bespoke expedition camper".
Perhaps the moderator(s), can move this topic to where it belongs: "Japanese Heavy Truck…”.

Well, she was responding to a comment made in a previous post...
“ Hopefully EC will watch the video and see if there are any ideas that make sense for them also. The inside sliding closet in the back of the bed area seems a decent idea. ”
Getting a little defensive, maybe?

Quite a decent-looking DIY rig but probably a good idea to move the post elsewhere, particularly if comments/observations from actual bespoke exped camper mfrs are not wanted.

Compare it to the hard side EC FX made in the U.S. and you can see many similarities but as noted before lots of expedition vehicles are similar...

If you take that it's built on a Fuso chassis and has a composite hab box does it make it a EC copy?
There's plenty of external difference, no power steps, awning, canopy etc, the body sides are flat and don't taper off to the top. Ok there's a walk through shower toilet area but so does a few other manufacturers dare I mention ATW for one?.
The guy has built something to be suit his tastes and fair play to him I don't think for one minute that he's trying to pass it of as an EC.
Victorian the body looks great to me I only wish that I could afford to buy a Fuso 4x4 in the UK and build a Total Composite hab box on it with a totally different layout.
Michelle, Lance, I love the EC but they are well and truly out of my budget.

How much are we talking for one of these ?
Victorian
Approved Vendor : Total Composites
It all depends on the components you choose for the interior and how much you pay for your base vehicle. It's not uncommon for our customers to create their dream vehicle for around $100.000.

That's refreshingly reasonable !
