As a long time Aliner (Ranger 12) owner, these are the kinds of videos I enjoy. I always like to see the experiences of other road warrior campers, Aliner folks in particular. These folks's experiences with their Aliner have helped me decide what to do when AC#2 gives up the ghost. Loved the cat companion and now I gotta figure out how to fit my newly adopted English Springer Spaniel into the Aliner. Videos like this help me add new places to visit when on the road too.

FYI. Rick is right, it’s not as much the weight of the trailer as it is wind resistance. I have had three trailers in the pass 15 years, a 28’ @ 10,000#, a 24’ @ 5900#, and now a 17 1/2’ @ 3950, to my surprise (and one of the reasons for down sizing) my fuel mileage has not gone up that much. It went from 9.5-10 to 10-10.5 to 10.5-11.2 now, with a F250 that gets 16-17 average highway. The 24’ trailer I actually towed with two different trucks and the mileage was the same over the exact same route to my hunting camp in eastern Washington. I try to stay at 60 mph or below and my present trailer is tapered on the front in kind of a rounded 45* which must help. So with about 6000 pounds in weight reduction and better aerodynamics l’ve barely picked up 2 mpg. The thing I like most about towing the 17 foot is I hardly know it’s back there.

@dennisolmstead7418 2 ай бұрын

Rounded front doesn’t do much. For aerodynamics, you need a tapered rear, like the shape of a fish. Only teardrop trailers seem to have figured that out.

I bought an Aliner Scout Lite in early 2022. I covered a bunch of miles with it primarily throughout Colorado and New Mexico. My air conditioner is still working but vibrations of it are a real concern. My ac actually started pulling the wall away from its mounting to the interior cabinet. Luckily I caught it before hitting the road and was able to fix it. I do think of devising some sort of dismount/remount setup or as suggested here, replace it with a door and a portable ac unit. I did remove the sink and plumbing, replacing the sink with one of those smaller black bins with a yellow top I stumbled upon at Lowe's. It dropped right in much to my pleasant surprise and greatly increased storage and useability. My short answer after rambling on is that yep, the Aliner is right for me. Watching this video has me itching to get rolling with it again! ~ Mike ~

We have an Australian A'van Cruiseliner which is an Aliner built under license here. It's interesting to see the similarities and differences between the US and Aussie versions. Most of the ones here have a double bed but we ordered the option with two single beds. Our air conditioner is internal under the rear bed. With the condition of our roads the through mount would not last 5 minutes. Our suspension is way higher than this one. Folded down we are 191cm (6 feet 3in) to the tops of the wind out dome windows. Sink, stove and fridge are similar but they are not available with the propane heating here. My tow vehicle is a bit bigger than the Jeep but is a diesel and so far we get pretty good fuel economy. Google convert says its 22mpg. As for size we are happy. Its easy to tow and not a big load on the car. We spend most of the day outdoors so it's basically a box to sleep in. We are both in our 60's and until we bought our A'van we were tent camping. Got tired of the rigmarole of set up and take down and the aliner variants are sure easy to set up and take down. All the best on the road to all of you. We are itchy to get our ourselves but winter has decided to arrive with a vengeance and it is bucketing with rain anywhere within a few hundred km/miles and I only wanted to go for a few days😅

Go to any National Forest Ranger station and ask for their MUVM map. It will give you more than enough free campsites. And cheap NFS campgrounds. I think there are 3 types of campers 1)survival campers that try to go out and backpack for days and come back glad it's over 2) The KOAers who can't leave their luxuries at home and 3) our type who like a taste of all three to a certain degree but prefer the freedom and flexibility of driving backwoods and setting up a base to go out and discover on foot. It all depends what you like.

Cracker Barrel encourages it. Just return the favor by buying Dinner or Breakfast while staying. They have designated spots. Walmart encourages it because it increases consumer traffic. Cabela's, etc.. not for camping per se but for overnighting for 8-9 hours sleep only. Especially driving 500-800 miles per day to get anywhere. Most places west of the Mississippi near major freeways are loaded with Motorhomes, campers, vans. Very common East is trickier but doable. We just find Cracker Barrels. But at destination we never stay at stores. Always National Forests, BLM's or campgrounds... happy travels.

I have always wanted to see how one of these trailers would be and now I have. :) It is so nice that they point out the good and the bad. I could probably make that work for a part time thing and the milage is a exciting point, but for full time, I think I would need some more room. But I will look into this and not get the air commissioning. Thanks for the heads up on that part. I have a portable air conditioner (110v) that would work great for that. I use it in my home on extremely hot days. Anyway, I think I will look into those and see if there are longer ones. Thank you for sharing your company with me. It is always fun to see something different. I just sold my class C (27 foot) It was nice but too big and a gas guzzler. hehehe So I am in the market for something different.

After restoring an older Aliner I can attest to how flimsy their construction is (typical for the rv industry). They likely all will leak and the floors will rot. Additionally, the side wall to end wall connections will rot as they bury plywood into the foam walls then edge screw into the plywood from the end walls into side walls at the corners. The constant flexing causes water infiltration and eventual rot. I replaced the plywood with solid oak. Flexation loosens every fitting. Leaks occur at the corners and door and the floors rot from the inside. Another danger is high winds and collapse of the sidewalls which have flimsy locks. There are some aftermarket solutions. We also found them cramped. That's our experience.

@jwagnermail 10 ай бұрын

Another issue that Aliners have is the doorway. The door has to create a gap in the side walls, which makes that side more flexible, and constant flexing around the door will cause problems with leaks and even frame bends. It is a issue with the design and I don't think there is a cure.
