Aliner Made Right - Aliner Factory Tour and Interview with Aliner's CEO 

Informative interview. Traditional travel trailers have become too expensive and Aliner fills a need for affordable campers that can be pulled by most SUVs. The Scout Lite is what fits our need for short weekend camping trips. Even this smaller unit has storage compartments, room for a portapotty and AC. Much future success.

Thanks!

Great intervoew, Rick... you may gave found a new career!!

Really nice video Rick. Makes me proud to own a completely remodeled 2008 Scout. I don't think I've beat mine up nearly as much as you did :)

Glad that Aliner is listening and investing in updates in plant equipment and model design. The interview was informative. Thanks.

2023 Scout Lite owner and have had good results with my camper and made mods to electrical, cabinets, and Lagun table. Been out west and in mountains in east. A few small issues. But small and dyi fixable. Thanks Rick. 😊

Pretty cool that the boss took the time to be there for the tours. I considered getting an Aliner but went with a camp-inn teardrop instead.

I can't wait to own one someday and join the club! Thank you for this video! :o)

Nice factory tour, good marketing giving you and interview on the product. Thanks for the video...........

Nice video and interview. Nice to see how they're built. Safe travels to y'all 🙏🙏🙏❤️🐾🐾❤️✌️☕

After watching and reading all these damage stories I've decided to rent a trailer when the urge gets me.

Rick, thanks for the video. Good interview with the boss. I noticed you got your opinion on the shower in the conversation. I like the option to have an included shower for several reasons. Normally, I will use the showers that are at the campgrounds for ease and ability to take longer showers but if the facilities are disgusting or if it’s pretty cold outside, I’d prefer to shower inside the camper. One does have to take the increased humidity into account, but that can be negated by running the fantastic fan till the shower curtain and shower pan are dry. One can also use one of the silicone type water absorbent wiping cloths to get rid of any excess moisture. It’s also nice that the toilet isn’t part of a wet bath IMHO. I see lots of complaints about the prices of new Aliners but having owned 4 different RVs of various types in the past, I’m willing to pay for the quality especially at this late stage of my life. I like that the Evolution series comes with everything except the outside grill. An evolution is going to be my next RV as I need it to be garageable since I live in an HOA neighborhood.

Still loving my 2011 ALiner Ranger after all these years with it in the Smokies and the Rockies. When not on the road, it's in the barn with a dust cover to protect it from all the elements. First bought my ALiner when I wanted something for a backpacking basecamp as I got older. I applied the same principles I used for lightweight backpacking to choosing the ALiner (a local dealership was a big +). The no wet canvas was a HUUUGE incentive for the Ranger! After recently thinking I might like to try something different behind my '08FJC, I've decided to stick with it. It's a comfortable basecamp for flyfishing and for a jumping off spot for a few days of backpacking...and flyfishing. I've hauled the Ranger up Colorado's Tin Cup Pass from St. Elmo, all along FSR 250 to Platoro, Colorado, and well into Colorado's Routt Roosevelt NF, to mention only a few places I've been with it in that state. It also held up well on the 30+ mile washboard road into the Green River Lakes area of Wyoming. Not to mention the comfort provided in the Smokies. I'll be getting it ready soon to head out to Colorado in September from home in the southeast. The only issues so far, the spare tire carrier cracked on the road in Colorado (causing me to carry the spare in the ALiner and a fiberglass repair), I'm on my third air conditioner, replaced the fresh water pump (now carry a spare), and replaced the circuit board on the heater ( now carry a spare heat source). Rick, safe travels on your continued 2023 journey, and thanks for the opportunity to communicate with the ALiner boss through your channel.

It's interesting to see how they build these things. That CEO is a lot like Bob Tiffin. When I had my Allegro MH, I spoke with him personally on the phone. Really nice guy and always made himself available to his customers. Of course things might be different now that Thor owns them.

great video, you and i have the same aliner but mines a 04

I've been there! Back when they also built Somerset PopUps. Did you see the UFO?

anks Rick nice video! i just purchased a 2021 LXE and love it i think my only compaint is the bungies to raise and lower the sides wish they could have went with the little shocks like have on the dolmers.

Great video Rick. Are you going back to work. For A liner 😂

Gosh darn it. I was supposed to interview Brett last week (remote / zoom) but we had technical issues. And now you beat me to the punch. Great interview though Rick. So.. their doing away with the microwaves? I know on the Evolution they replaced the microwave area with a casette toilet, but didn't realize they were doing away with it on the other models? Interesting.

Sounds like you need to be the Aliner ambassador!!

It would have been nice to see a camper built.

I have seen in the Aliner how well the electrical wires are managed. If you lift the seating boards on my Rockwood 213HW you will see a bird nest of wires. I would like to try out an Aliner and see if I like it better. An inside shower would be good but lately, we need a gray water holding tank for most of the US Forest Service area

bought my evo-15 in Nov.2023 As new as it gets.

"How long have u been here?" "10 years"

Hey: Love your videos & I've just subscribed! I'm an A-Liner newbie. Is there an inverter on the A122S which allows me to use an appliance (CPAP Machine) while off grid (from battery power). I have 2 batteries installed. Can you direct me to videos about this model & subject?😁

Hi Rick ,I am looking at purchasing a 2017 scout 10 . Do you think the construction would be the same as in this video ? would it have a wood floor ,or the newer composite floor ? Thanks

Does A Liner make a chassis model with trailing arm suspension?

I wonder if they know of that guy in England that built the ENGLISH PENNLINER AFrame camper in his garden ?

I wish you had asked him about the OUTRAGEOUS pricing for the new Aliners, ranging from $20K to $40K, unless you want one of the tiny Scout models. This is insane!

Yeah at $23,000+ it should last more than 10 years. Im not a fan of the lime green. It looks better on the dark colored one though. Can you buy direct from the manufacturer? I can’t decide if I want to buy new or buy a used one. I hear the ones made prior to 2020 are better made. Is that true?

No screen door?

Show us something!

Don’t tell the ceo that you purchased a wolf pup for less money.
