Trailer Tour of a Nomad Living Cheap in a A-Liner Pop-Up Trailer

Рет қаралды 322,130

Күн бұрын

Today we meet Bud who is living full time in an A-Liner, hard-sided pop-up trailer and really enjoying it! We learn all about why he chose the A-liner versus a normal soft-sided pop-ups, what he tows it with and what kind of MPG it gets.

With $1500 to $2000 a month in old age security and some savings, with a nice little rig like this, I could live like this the rest of my life and be happy :) Cheers

Thank you for rescuing your dog. And thanks for sharing your story! Dogs do grab our hearts. And sometimes our sandwich. But they are worth it.

Finally - an Aliner on your channel! Thank you Bob. We have one and love it. We're more the weekend warrior types (husband, wife and dog) so not living in it full time but we always say if a tree falls on our house, we won't be homeless. We could move into our Aliner and head west to catch up with all you wonderful folks. Looking forward to the inside tour next.

Morgan. As I'm sure you know, Bob sometimes does two videos (one as an interview and second one as a tour) so he may have #2 coming out later. But if you look elsewhere there are a lot of YT videos showing these A Liner trailers inside and out. I like these trailers as well. Have a wonderful day . . . Cheers

I still tear up about him. Dog's definitely bring people together. ❤ I am impressed with the A-liner too. Please set me up with this Gentleman Bob?!?!

The sunshade he built himself is great. Anything you buy already "custom made" is junk and expensive. Bud did a great job mounting the shade material. Looks great and provides a great shaded space to relax outside.

I have always thought that A liners were the weirdest, least practical design. What I didn't realize is that they are a type of pop up. Now I am considering one. I weekend warrior in my minivan, and my BFF is considering getting some kind of class B, truck camper, or something that we can take on the road. If my Minivan can pull this it would be a pretty great solution.

I love most of your videos; this one especially. We have 1 year old Aliner Classic and love it. We have no plans for living in it but, may spend a few months in it when sell our house and buy a new condo. I think he’s making his life harder than it needs to be, though. The sink is great - has a pump and water heater. The one cupboard he showed under the bench seat is intended for a porta-potty. I wouldn’t be wild about having my toilet out in the living area. We use ours at night and tuck it away during the day.

I saw this at an Rv show this weekend and was surprised at how roomy it is inside. That said, not for a family but for a single traveler its quite nice. No bathroom and I think they do not have any fresh water tank either. The sticker price at the show was $24,000 and that was a discount! I have read that the roof's tend to leak after a while and then I read that the roofs tend to leak on pretty much all light weight travel trailers.

I enjoyed watching and listening to the video. Aliners have been on my mind for many decades. I was hoping to see the inside and changes/ additional that he had done. He struck me as as DYI guy who could give important personal insight in that regard. Also, would like to hear more of the traveling aspect ie, typical places that are acceptable/accommodating towards the A-liners along with overnight camping fees and such. How often does one need to disconnect and go to market for supplies? Maybe another video of yours covers those subjects?

These are also great for stealth camping. You can still sleep in them when they're folded down and they look like standard covered cargo trailers so there's no risk of anyone calling the cops on that suspicious looking camper across the street.

I've heard a lot of comments about tents and soft-sided pop-ups not being allowed at campgrounds and specifically at Yellowstone. I took a long camping trip in 2019 and I camped in Yellowstone in a tent at Madison campground for a week in September and lots of other campers were doing the same thing. There is one RV-only campground at Yellowstone where soft-sided pop-ups may not be allowed but there were no restrictions on tents or soft-sided trailers anywhere else in the park when I was there. The only place I went where they didn't allow tents was a state park in eastern Montana where they had a recent grizzly sighting, but even that wasn't a permanent ban. My trip took me through 9 western states.

And you don’t look 70 years young. Must be good living. Leslye Wells Goolsby.
