The Opera certainly is interesting, niche for $38,000 tent trailers is unfilled in North America. I suspect it would be easier sell about a hundred of these than to sell 10,000 of a well-made conventional design at half the price. It is just cool enough for the folks who wear a $10,000 wrist watch that talks to their $400 phone.
I've been looking at tent trailers (as opposed to pop ups) and the Sylvan has caught my eye previously. I have to weigh the modern styling and Kelty branding against the experience proven Livin Lite QuickSilver line, most models being a lot less dependent on site selection being fully supported from the trailer box. Most places I go, the trailer would end up on a RV pad, not in a grassy location where I could pull out tent extensions and stake them down.
Disappointed that the Scarab link goes to a dead end, the inflating tent concept sounds interesting.
