I got to thinking (?) about this and I believe that Ali Baba was sorta the good guy.

Yes you are right. What was I thinking of? The 40 thieves of course !!
I do recall a Magic Carpet I think. At my age I happy just to get up in the morning and have a cup of java. Open Sesame.
Thanks for the clarification - it was a valid one.

Holy Mackerel I read the Wikipedia version of the story. I dont remember old Walt Disney telling it that way. It would have been rated PG-13. V for violence.

The Icamp was/is? a Chinese RV introduced a few years back. Similar to a T@B. I have not seen one in person nor am I sure if they are still around.

All I know about it is from this Roaming Times article I stumbled on a few years back. I am surprised it is still up. Raz

Thats because the Chinese use lead so they need two axles for the weight.
Notice the red pigment

I think that is the tv, looks like a re-run of baywatch!

I'm thinking the iCamp had the same problem as the T@B for the average North American--the ceiling is too low. If I remember right, the T@B was about 5'8" interior height and the specs on the iCamp give it at 5'11". You can call it a teardrop if you want but still many people won't buy a trailer they can't stand up in.

I believe that the Tripbudddy is British - It has won a few design awards.

The other issue with the iCamp was that is was very heavy - 2366 lbs dry according to the specs.

Anyone else notice they have less than 5 quality control staff?
