Incredibly STRONG yet LIGHT! Carbon Fiber Teardrop Camper

I watched a video about the Sunnyside teardrop thats 650lbs, and I thought that was lightweight. This teardrop made from carbon fiber is 470lbs!

 
Yeah, but that isn't anything you would want to take off country, that would be trouble
 
Its just a cool fiberglass camper. There's also diffrent types of carbon fiber. Don't know the type or thickness he uses. If he layered in Kevlar or ballistic cloth, he couldn't ask the same price and you wouldn't get the cool "carbon fiber" look. The difference in strength wouldn't be noticeable.

I do like the design just not the price.
If you looked at the front of my trailer, you would see diamond plate trimmed with bedliner. Due to the amount of gravel kicked up by my truck, i have small dings in the diamond plate, chips in the bedliner material and paint that I touch up occasionally. I could imagine what that clear gel coat would look like after a couple of years behind either of my rigs.
