How funny! I was just going to post something about a swanky trailer myself.

The latest issue of Sunset features some info on the T@B. Looks totally cute, and less expensive than the Airstream, but also smaller.

When Heather and I went to Maker Faire, we had a chance to check out the T@Bs. Very cool stuff.

There's a place in the Bay Area called hardtent that rents them by the day.

Both are cool but I prefer not to compromise; If I am camping I want a tent and if not I want a Hotel.

I could do the RV lifestyle and Lani and I have serious considerations of getting a van conversion like a RoadTrek.

Saw a T@B at Yosemite and it was cute but I don't think I'd actually want one.

Those RoadTreks are cool. I wish they weren't so darn expensive. I think a short class C is cheaper, and has a little more room for not too much extra length.

Anything in particular about the T@B that you didn't like? Is it too small inside?

The RoadTrek looks interesting. A fair amount of people tour around New Zealand in those type of campervans.

Too twee.

Neat to look at for a couple minutes as you walk by but so self consciously cute that I'd grow sick of it after very long.
