You can put this up faster then a tent ⛺. Stay dry, and have hard walls when in bear country. They make awnings and outdoor rooms too that attach to the camper. Toilet is a plus, but most people will use the campground facilities anyway. Love these little units.
Hey Matt and Will, again I wanted to mention that we bought our Highland Ridge 354MBH 5th wheel and our salesperson was Jay. Also Brett gave us the best deal possible. We were very happy with this experience. Tell them hello.
These Aliners are cute Matt and Wil. They go up pretty fast too! And come down fast too! Pretty cute with the toilet and the toilet with the shower. A lot of people use campground bathrooms. But these are cute. Thank you Matt and Wil.
Nice A-Frame. Not really for me...but...for the right person/couple would be great. Understand you didn't know where you were. Carolina Coach is in Claremont, NC. Now that clears that up. OOPs I had to map it. Due north of Charlotte, near Hickory, NC along I40 which stretches between Asheville and Winston Salem.
We have friends who tour the country while towing their Aliner. They say they love it. We had a canvas pop-up when the kids were small and really enjoyed it; I think we'd like the Aliner better, and we could tow it with our SUV.
My wife and I graduated from a tent to an A-Liner, Ranger 12 in 2016. It's time for us to upgrade to a larger travel trailer type camper but we love the A-Liner. It is an excellent introduction to RV style camping. We have towed ours all over the United States with no problems. Enjoyed the review!
I kinda like the one with the wetbath, even though it can only sleep 1ish, yet I can't help but feel with a little more rearranging they could set it up to have a wetbath *and* sleep more people.
I own one of these, they look slick but the leak rain, wind and are iffy in high wind. They do fit in your garage which is why I bought it. They look a lot tougher than they are but once again they do fit in your garage which is worth a lot and are even easier to set up than your demonstrator showed.
I’m on my second A-liner. Sorry you had a bad experience. Mine has been the complete opposite. Zero leaks. I pull it in our of my basement garage by hand with a dolly. I have the wind kit on my new camper, but never had an issue with wind without.
Was pretty stoked to hear about the partnership via the announcement video. I hope they structured it so ya’ll get a cut of each sale that was a result of your videos. Pretty much that means The company is only paying on performance, which is a damn good deal for them, and would help ya’ll build equity in your business.
I think they used to make a twin bed model. The twins could convert to one king, so no one has to crawl over the other to get out of bed. Also wish you could have shown one of the “family” models. I really like the one with the outside pull out kitchen. In a ((tent on wheels)) some of us appreciate not wasting precious interior/sleep space with a kitchen. I prefer cooking outdoors anyway when camping. ((Currently a lowly tent camper)) I think these Aliners would be the perfect step up. Thank y’all so much for showing these! Please keep showing towables in the less than 3k lb category.
I live in Australia that’s why cool, I have a lot of old work injuries that makes it difficult for me to put up a tent or pop top van but they look perfect
I loved the model with the toilet/wetbath. This RV would be great for me in a state park. My small truck can tow this all day. Too bad that I don't have any space to park one of these at my townhouse.
The GM, Bret seemed very excited about the camper but I think he cramped your style a little bit. My wife Cindy and me were just talking this evening about maybe being more realistic in our plans for the future. I don't think we're going to do the long-term, permanent camper living though I envy those who can. So we decided we could go much smaller than we were thinking. Cindy even mentioned a pop-up but this seems like an excellent alternative to that a popper.
Interestingly Forest River came out with an A-frame popup with the same design but seems like it was only produced for 2021 and 2022. I noticed they were significantly cheaper than the Aliner. I saw some 2022's for around 18K.
I really like the one with the wet bath. What was the model # ? It would be perfect for me and meet all my needs. Thank you for showing something that a smaller suv can tow.
Great video! I am impressed by the Evolution model. What kind of axle does this come with the off-road package? Just want to be able to take it down dirt or fire roads without the frame or axle bending. How exposed is the underbelly? I am concerned about rodents during storage chewing on wires, etc.
Aliners are a great alternitive to the popup campers... but people need to be aware of one thing. There isn't a gasket or sealing at the tops of the walls or dormers while yes, if you were getting sideways rain you might get some water seepage, thats not the issue, the issue is actually with heat and cold retention. Those are all "unsealed" air gaps... This means the a-liner can get drafty loose heat, or lose col air in the summer. many people use things like pool noodles, or add their own insulation layer
I pulled an A-liner Scout Lite (smallest model) with my Subaru Crosstrek. Wouldn’t want to cross the continental divide with that combo. Works fine in foothills of north GA.
@@n00206 My son drives a hybrid (RAV4) and lives the Pacific Northwest. He and his wife love camping and I was thinking, maybe an A-liner or some other light towable for Christmas. I hope I don't have to buy them a Class B. LOL!
@@n00206 hello I am also a crosstrek owner and was wondering how your Aliner and car are doing? did it have any impact on the transmission? what set up tow package did you need to install?
My wife and I are looking for a good used ALiner Classic (Mattress preferred) in the 8000-10000 range. Are we crazy? Is this too low to expect to pay? We are in SC and will travel to pick one up.
By design, Aliners are ovens. On a moderately warm day, they become saunas. The few I have seen, people have had to install a Fantastic Fan at each end of the peak to try to keep the inside temperature somewhat moderated.
The engineers who designed this did such a good job with the exterior and the folding mechanisms. The interior is such a let-down. The bathroom/head is abominable. I wish Aliner would have applied their innovative and brilliant exterior design to the inside of their campers.
The question I have is can you switch out the mattress for a much better mattress than those very thin cushions that they have. If you do switch out the mattress will the a liner close properly?
Sorry. Prone to leaks and rot. They shake apart and screws pull out. For 2 people a tent has much more practical room. They are susceptible to and potentially dangerous in cross winds. They don't seal well. Some use pool noodles to keep rain/ heat in or out. I've rebuilt one starting with rotted floors (at door & corners). The corners of the sides and front/ rear panels have small sections of plywood that are end screwed together. A location prone to leaks. Do your research. Get a fully enclosed trailer.
I kinda want to talk to it a baby. "Whose a cute little trailer"? Where were the likes and dislikes? Likes : both Matt and Will could fit in it without tipping it over, solar option hookup and some had bathroom for off grid. Dislikes : the faucets on the sink , I know why they are like that just don't like them, tent or tin a bear will get through either if it wanted to.
That style camper would be the absolute last style of camper I'd ever buy! Who wants to have to poop in the middle of the living space! No storage space, tiny fridge. At there price point you could buy a real camper that does not require assembly. There's a reason there's a ton of these for sale one year old on Craigslist.
I know why y'all are doing it but I don't care what the people who work for dealerships have to say. When you have them on I stop watching the videos. I don't mean to be a jerk but their opinions mean nothing to me.
I have to agree. The announcement said the company said don’t change anything about your videos, but their videos have changed to include the local manager. Big 👎.
