We recently got the 2023 Aliner Scout. Ours is pretty much the same as yours. The main difference is the dormers. Ours are the soft style on either end. We go into bear country a lot so we don’t always use them. The heat pump on heating mode is noisy. There is a fella here on U-tube ( I can’t remember his name ) who insulated the heat pump and piping as well as the storage area and he figured that that cut down the noise by half. Other than that both models seem to be pretty much the same. We really do love to camp in our Scout and I’m sure you well too.
Thanks for the video! How does this fair when you have loud neighbors? One of the reasons we want a camper is because we always find ourselves near people playing music late/being loud at their campfire. I’m curious how well this isolates you from that noise/rainfall noise.
I have a 2020. Within the first year all the cabinet doors fell off. Poor workmanship! Before you buy one take a tour underneath and check out frame it is definitely not for off road, unless your willing to put a lot of time and money in it. While you are under it check out how they connect the electronic break line across the axel. My buddy bought a new 2023. The first door fell off before he got it home and the duct for the furnace was not connected to the vent. This is a wonderful design however, the workmanship really sucks. After a lot of work my 2020 is really reliable but a lot of changes. My opinion, the new ones aren't worth the money unless you're really handy!!
This is what I keep thinking from looking at videos and reviews. Such a shame they can’t manage to make better use of this design, but hi h is truly exceptional for so many people. There new amp model looks to be so much better, but wow the price went up. Why they can’t use real ducting and quality door hardware on the lower end models is so understand.
Thanks for the review; Perhaps you’re not going to use the A/C a lot? But the interior A/C vibrates your bed as you try to sleep and it’s loud on the outside. I would had preferred the wall unit.
Love the simplicity of this model. I camp in a mini van but am thinking for getting a light trailer just for the AC. I do not like to cook, do dishes in the unit and I love there are not lots of systems to break.
Is it possible to buy an a-liner without all the pop outs and air conditioning and extras? Some people just want to Boondock because I don't want cable TV and air conditioning I want to camp and enjoy the outdoors
none of these features prevent you from enjoying the outdoors. theres no added tv, the airconditioning is vented unless you purchase an aliner that has the apartment style AC installed. theres units with just vents for heating and air. <3
Thanks for posting this video. I was thinking I’d like to upgrade a scout so I wouldn’t be paying for things I didn’t want such as a 3 way fridge. Then I started looking at the E 12 because I really want the hard sided dormers and aluminum framed cabinetry. Now that I know you can buy a Scout equipped this way, I’m inclined to go this route and upgrade a scout and configure how I’d like it. Looking forward to you documenting all of your upgrades and modifications.
Its the Wolf Sanctuary of PA near Lititz, PA. I have more video I just need to get it uploaded. Its a cool place. It was their open house for the year.
