Hit the blue highways with Ecamper

So for about a year now I've had this (borderline unrealistic) fantasy about traveling through the US and Canada while living out of my Jeep. And wouldn't this car camper serve that trip perfectly?
Produced by the California-based company Ursa Minor Vehicles, the pop-up sleeper called Ecamper, sleeps two and costs a cool $4,300 (more if you want the color to match your car, have your radio wired up into it, and for roof racks to be added.)
According to the website, the Ecamper is currently only compatible with the Honda Element. Looks like my Jeep will just have to wait.
