Oh, come on, folks.  Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.  And it
seems to me that they've followed the concept, as well as the name.  I
think they're a bit too plush, and that not having propane refrigeration is
really giving away the store, but I give them points for a darn good
try.  Nothing else I've seen, including the Sportsmobile (?) comes
close.  As to people's complaints about quality of workmanship, nobody here
has ever seen one, so how can we complain?
