Join me as I share my travel experiences, whether by car, train, plane, ship, feet, or motorcycle. I'm new to the RV world after purchasing my 2023 Aliner Ranger 10, and I'll share insights and modifications of my tiny Aliner. I will also share travel and camping tips to make your journeys enjoyable.
I appreciate your reply. I was probably unfair with the music comment, wasn’t bad, just a little loud for me. Secondly, I watched it all and enjoyed your content, just so you know. Keep up the good work. I’m looking forward to your future content.
@8:35 --- Oh, no no no, my friend. Just adding salsa to ground meat does NOT equal tacos. Salsa is essentially just tomatoes, onions, and peppers. There's a lot more that goes into proper taco seasonings. You're really missing out! At the BARE minimum, you'll want to add some garlic, chili powder, and comino (cumin), and depending on your taste, something to give it some heat. If you want to keep it simple and easy, get a package of taco seasoning from the store, but you certainly don't want to just dump a jar of salsa into the meat. So bland.
Have Map, Incredible vacation. I love the parks in Ca.!!! Your "prep time" background music had me cracking up! Thank you for the tips and for brining us along with you. Regards from Pa.
Great video! Narration with on-screen text is excellent and greatly appreciated. I particularly like that you show your route on a map as well as say the route you took. The best part was that you were able to include your brother!
Nice video I have family scout 15 foot Floorplan with two hard dormers no bells and whistle just ac sink and fridge thinking of taking out fridge and getting a cooler like you have.love the different pictures .thanks again
You have a good routine for getting ready . Something I have done to my Scout light , is remove the chrome center hubs . Inside you will find greaseable wheel bearings . You just pop out the rubber plug and grease until some is coming out . I have left mine off this time so its easer to do this maintains. Also its good to jack the wheel off the ground and give it a shake top to bottom . Even though my trailer is only a year old I found that one of the wheel bearings needed a little tightening . Thanks PS just did a 5,500 kilometer trip .The Scout pulled great with a ford Maverick
This video so fun, thank you! I am picking up my Aliner Ranger 12 tomorrow, 2016 one owner very well taken care of. Am very excited and looking forward to lots of adventures! I did bunches of research too. When this Aliner turned up on my town's craigslist, in great shape and 3 minutes from my own house, I jumped.
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.
Good question! I’ve had my share of loud camping neighbors while tent camping, especially after quiet hours. This indeed can put a damper on a relaxing camp outing. To be honest, I haven’t encountered loud neighbors since I began camping in my Aliner (is it because I’m now camping with fellow RVers who are older and quieter after 10:00 pm?). I shall research this and provide a video in the future 😊
When my wife got sick, I started looking for downsized options for just me to travel. Taking gear from our camper, I took a week long trip in our large 3rd row SUV to hike Acadia National Park. It got GREAT mpg, had everything I needed and I was SOLD that this is the way for a single person to travel! My only issue was on day 4, it started to rain, stuck in the back of an SUV all day was not great and really turned me off to SUV camping. I wonder if I should bring a tent for rainy days and that would make things better?
Do you mind telling me the cabinet door opening measurement where you store your toilet? …so I can see what brand/sizes of toilets would fit through the door. I’m trying to decide between the Scout Lite and Ranger 10… any advice? Thanks for taking time to make videos. You do a good job!
Both the Ranger 10 and Scout Lite have the same footprint. The opening of where I store the toilet is 13 3/4" in height and 14" inches wide. It's plenty deep for a porta potty. The Ranger 10 won out because it offered a furnace, built-in stove, outdoor shower, 11 gallon drinking water tank, and a 6 gallon water heater. I like the creature comforts provided by the Ranger 10.
You obviously did not watch my video on "Don't Buy an Aliner..... Before watching this" on why not to buy an Aliner!! But here you are!! Any Chance your a member of the Aliner Owners Club!! Our North American Rally is in a week in NC. I'd love to meet you!
What an honor to hear from you! I did watch your video, and I was still encouraged to buy one of my own. I am not a member of Aliner Owners Club, but I love to part of any organization that would have me as a member 😄. Where in NC?
I think the 2 things of the Aliner is portability. Can go in garage, no wind resistance pulling it and of course the cost. I'm going back and forth between the Aliner and the Scamp 13ft.
THANK YOU for this vid; I’m getting (in my dreams); this was a GREAT explanation/ review of the A-liner, which seems like it “checks all the boxes”…for ME…! 👍🏻👍🏻‼️
I recently purchased an Aliner Scout Lite. It's perfect for our needs because we don't spend any time in the camper except to sleep. We do everything outside, and have a quick popup gazebo in case of rain. It stayed dry in two overnight thunderstorms on our first trip. Camping is all about being outdoors and enjoying the experience. I would recommend this camper to anyone. Great video!
Thank you. Like you, I spend most of my time outdoors when camping. The Aliner is perfect for anyone looking for a step above tent camping. Enjoy your travels. Also, thank you for your military service. I served in the United States Air Force during the early 1980s.
Hello- Thanks for your informative videos. I am 6'1" and wondering about the bed length. Do you have any discomfort due to lack of bunk length? Thanks!
The length of both beds are 74 inches, and it's plenty of room for me. The width for the front bunk is 30 inches, and 40 inches for the rear bed. Also, I find the cushions firm and comfortable for sleeping.
Aliner advertises the dry weight of its Scout Lite at 1,180 lbs, and the dry weight of its Ranger 10 at 1,300 lbs (mine weighed at 1,500+ lbs). A Scout Lite can be pulled by a vehicle with a maximum towing capacity of 1,500 lbs. Keep in mind that any extra loads to the RV and tow vehicle will impact performance of your tow vehicle.
This was incredibly helpful! We appreciate all of the work you put into this video, and the split screen showing how quick and simple the setup is really sold me after years of wondering about that.
Great video! Captures succinctly a lot of the choices one has to think through. I love the 10’. I have the 12’ Scout and often wish it had a smaller footprint.
Will probably go with Aliner here in FL. The trouble with popups.... whenever I head home, it rains the morning of and my canvas is wet. I have to get it home, open it back up to dry out. I hear the Aliners are the better option for hard side popups? Great video!!
@@zazubombay Thank you but gotta do what ya gotta do at the time it needs to be done! With skill set ya have at the time!! Soldiers do everyday!!! ❤️💫❤️
