I have always loved the Kimberly Karavan. I just don't like the full imported price and would prefer for a North American passenger side layout, though that isn't a huge deal. This Tribe was initially interesting but the more I see of it the less interesting it is. It appears to have some odd characteristics and look to it.
I personally think the bed looks small. It is still North American driver side oriented. I agree that the tongue looks too short. For an off-road trailer, the the TV show be able to get close to jackknifing the trailer and should have plenty of vehicle clearance on a decently sharp and deep dip. My personal opinion is that black tanks should not be part of an off-grid oriented trailer. To me, they should be designed around some sort of dry toilet or a cassette toilet. I'm not even sure what the heck the toilet in that thing is with all the piping and stuff next to the throne. I also personally think they should give up the chincy integrated single burner and sink. Just put a sink a counter space. There are portable burner options that work so much better than that burner one could use if they needed it and the rest of the time not have that dumb burner taking up counter space. Also, like some other options coming from overseas but being sold for pretty hefty price tags, they need to be at least bare minimum lithium battery banks. These AGM battery banks actually only have 50% of the capacity installed since you aren't supposed to drain AGMs below 50% capacity.
It will likely be cheaper than a Kimberly Karavan so it might have its market but I do think Tribe could do so much better with it and offer something that doesn't exist yet in the NA market at a more "affordable" price than the Karavan.
