Etymology of T@belot

T@belot’s name derivation is from the famous castle of Camelot associated with the legendary King Arthur. In Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary, Camelot is defined as: \’kam-e-,lat\ n. 1: the site of King Arthur’s palace and court in Arthurian legend; and 2: a time, place, or atmosphere of idyllic happiness. Although most scholars regard Camelot as being purely fictional, there is some evidence, and at a minimum, extensive historical lore, regarding its existence. Other than vague references to “somewhere in Britain,” the precise location of Camelot is unknown. Camelot’s lack of precise location, uncertainty as to actual existence, and symbolism of idyllic happiness is a perfect and quintessential representation of my idea of the travel trailer. Thus, the name for our trailer and the experiences it renders shall be referred to as T@belot.  For more information on King Arthur and Camelot, check out the Camelot Project at the University of Rochester at http://www.lib.rochester.edu/camelot/cphome.stm
