Although I prefer being in the great outdoors, there are times when all travelers encounter bad weather and are stuck inside their trailer. As many people wonder how an A-frame camper performs in bad weather, here's a summary of my own experiences.

Thanks Slim.... I love a good storm...

This video is the absolute best REALITY TV. And when you crawl into bed, cozy, warm & dry, in bad weather you'll sleep like a log. You've got it made inside your A-Liner compared to our forefathers as they traveled in their covered wagons. You can enjoy a hot meal, a piping hot cup of coffee, be warm & comfy while it is cold, wet, & windy OUTSIDE>

AZ: Not to rain on your parade but should the weather get bad enough...it is impossible to sleep. In some rigs...the rain noise alone will keep a person up. Carry ear plugs for sure.

@azclaimjumper 6 лет назад

@@geraldhenrickson7472 I have a Ford E250 Cargo Van that I've converted into an insulated camper. I have a hearing loss & know when rain is pounding on my van, but its muffled. You're right about ear plugs being needed some times.

Likewise. 🤣👍

@davewolf8869 5 лет назад

I love the rain! I love seeing your laptop on the table, with the rain outside! I plan my camping trips around the rain, meaning I plan to camp in the rain! I love the sound of the rain, even monsoons, in my camper van, watching youtubes or netflix, playing guitar, writing stories, or drawing! For me there's nothing better, and being around my doggos! Cooking good meals, just enjoying my solitude. I like your aliner!

@bonkeydollocks1879 5 лет назад

Something great when its cold , windy and rainy outside but you are warm and wrapped up inside with only the rain noise to keep you company . love it

@chrisr6157 6 лет назад

I always enjoy your videos! You do such a great job showing us nature and all it has to offer. I would spend my rainy days drawing or painting...art is my thing! Thanks for sharing!

@ronhowes7948 5 лет назад

Looks like great weather for a "senior nap". Nothing better to hunkering down under the covers when rain is pouring on the roof, and the wind is howling. Love it, and our 30' class A motorhome handles it well.

@marianmurphy2644 5 лет назад

Hi Slim, I have a 2015 ALiner Scout, Park Model. I truly appreciate your videos and all the creative ideas you have for the Aliner. I am an 83 year old woman and I have pulled my Aliner at least 10,000 miles in the Western States,alone, with zero problems. Hooking up, backing up, and setting up is no problem. I do ot boondock alone. Your videos are so well done and informative. Thank you! Murphy

@SlimPotatohead 5 лет назад

Thanks Marian, glad to hear you are getting good use on your Aliner. I typically stop and say hello when I see one, so maybe we'll meet some day! SP

@harleyatkins2008 4 года назад

Nice realistic video. It's a great feeling to go to sleep in a van or camper of almost any type and to know you're going to stay dry all night. When I'm falling asleep in my camper I think about the thousands of generations of people who slept outside and got wet when it rained. It's a comforting thought knowing I'll stay dry!

Fantastic! Sometimes the bad weather is the best part of a trip. I love the sound of rain on a tent, or these days on a pop up camper. Woke up to 4 inches of snow at Great Basin National Park in March and loved it. Thanks for sharing.

Living in Canada, I've traveled through all sorts of ugly weather. It's no picnic, but it does make you respect mother nature's temper. Sometimes, the best thing to do is to simply watch in awe. Furthermore, without bad weather, some of your videos wouldn't be as adventurous as they are.

@dona62851 6 лет назад

Thank you for this amazingly beautiful video. I love all kinds of inclement weather! I love the sounds and smells of rain. Thunder is musi to my ears. Some may find it bothersome and even threatening but it makes me want to hunker down under a big fluffy comforter and enjoy the show! I used to have a CD of thunderstorm sounds. The speakers I had then were big with a woofer that could make thunder rattle pictures on the walls. It was awesome. Again, thanks for this!

@mssixty3426 6 лет назад

Another excellent video! Being from the Southwestern U. S., I love a good rainstorm, even snow - but what worries me is the wind. I appreciate your advice about tires. You did a beautiful segue with music and scenery into appreciating the beauty of the earth after a storm. Many thanks for all the hard work you put into your videos.

Your photographs are very beautiful...........stunningly so! I like extreme weather and no matter how bad it gets..............embrace it.....don't try to hide from it. It was really nice to see your attitude in bad weather and what you said at the end...."Rather than complain about the weather, marvel at nature's aerial ballet". I subscribed.

@jng66 4 года назад

Rain is truly the most life-giving-preserving element nature produces. Emerging from Australia's long, long drought conditions and horrific fire season has provided me a super timely reminder about water. I'm so glad your channel popped up on my radar as I'm looking to find a small Tab like RV my introverted self will feel totally comfortable in and travel my beautiful continent one day. You are such a lovely presenter.
