My maiden trip is in two days with my new Aliner. I am loving your videos.

[@HeidiMcGuire-uj4sp]

Just bought my first camper…an Aliner….heading out next week for my maiden voyage! Your tips and education have been invaluable…thanks so much!

[@ruthtrips7391]

I’m glad my experiences can help others! Congratulations on your new Aliner!! It’s so exciting! Have fun and be safe!!!

[@user-go2wy7zc4k]

Waiting for your new Aliner adventures now that spring is here. I am hoping I can find a nice used small Aliner someday just for myself..

[@ruthtrips7391]

I hope so too!

[@DrJohn493]

You're handling the Aliner well and picking out some great spots to enjoy it. Looked like typical Pacific Northwest weather, blue sky and relaxing rain..

[@monaaguayo3594]

Beautiful 🤩🌲💕 And glad you put safety first. 🤗💕

[@ruthtrips7391]

Thank you for watching 🙏🏻

[@OrangepeelCAN-AM1]

Oh how jealous!! I cant wait to get A-Frame camper out this Spring!

[@ruthtrips7391]

Hahaha! I know what you mean, I can’t hardly stand going in and out of mine sitting in my garage, I just HAD to take her out!!! Thanks for watching!

[@rrr_rozell7992]

Beautiful spot! Rain in the aframe can be relaxing but the wind can be nerve racking. I have had to pack up once because of wind it was a bummer.

[@ruthtrips7391]

It was a really great spot! I installed wind poles today! Thanks for watching 😊

[@Homer2q]

Yes it’s good to take off regularly just to get in practice and try different scenarios. I enjoyed the video and I like walking in cemeteries too. Have you read Peter Beagle’s Fine and Private Place? You might enjoy it.

[@ruthtrips7391]

Thanks for watching! And I haven’t read it but I’ll check it out 🙏🏻

[@ruthtrips7391]

I looked up the novel, it sounds enchanting!!!

[@GaryB94558]

Get one of each in the bakery

[@christiclampitt5804]

Planning my spring trip... this video is making me want to go sooner :) Great job! Enjoyed your trip!

[@ruthtrips7391]

So excited for your upcoming trip too! That’s why I went mid-winter lol! I had a blast even though I didn’t stay overnight, it was SO worth the trip. Have fun! Wish you could share your trip!

[@alaskabeachcomber4232]

What an awesome camping spot! And beautiful views! Glad you didn't get any snow. Have you heard anything about an Aframe get together this year here in the Northwest?

[@ruthtrips7391]

Thank you, it was a great find! No, I haven’t. Most of them are back east. There are Facebook groups if you follow them, I bet you could find out if there are.

[@1dancier]

Pity about the wind, I would of packed it up and slept in the back of the car.

[@ruthtrips7391]

Hahaaaa! I thought about it but I was so close to home it beaconed to me 😅

[@GaryB94558]

Wondering what the crop was planted down below your campsite

[@GaryB94558]

Maybe you can take it out again, if you get a break in the weather

[@alaskabeachcomber4232]

Any recommendations for a late winter/early spring camping spot? Beverly Beach is still closed, and I can't find out if the Port of Newport has their facilities open yet. I know the weather will be getting better (eventually), I am just impatient to go camping. John

[@ruthtrips7391]

Hi John, did you call the Port of Newport RV park? They are open year round. You can get the number on the website. There’s also South Beach campground in Newport, I like both of those place. Good luck, I hope you get out there camping!

[@normascott3613]

The only downside I see on aframe camper is strong winds and the sides. Other than that Its the perfect camper for me. Plan on getting one for retirement.

[@ruthtrips7391]

Norma if I had only purchased the $40 painters pole at Home Depot I could have used that to reinforce my sidewalks… I just haven’t done it yet! My own fault! And yes, that’s the only downside 😊

[@GoldenK9Campers]

Maybe get some sort of aluminum pole that can be fit between the walls to protect the walls from caving in. I still haven't done that on mine, but will do sometime soon. My latest video from Valley of Fire shows that mod.

[@ruthtrips7391]

Yes! I just need to spend the money!

[@JofoTubin]

Two retractable shower rods should do the trick. Just throw them up when it gets windy and...remember to duck!

[@ruthtrips7391]

@@JofoTubin 😂 Sounds like you’re speaking from experience! I have a shower rod but the springs in those are not strong enough to support the sidewalls in high winds. And I have the shower rod fall on my head a few times 😂

[@rthib1960]

Your camper is the same as mine. Looks great but you really should get a wind pole to brace your side walls. It is a really easy mod and cost about $15.00 if you get the aluminum pole at HD. Well worth it for the peace of mind. And if you get 2 and put them a couple of feet apart near the peak of the A walls you can use it for shelf space which comes in very handy on long trips. Enjoy!

[@ruthtrips7391]

I know!!! I just haven’t been camping in open air like this before, usually protected by trees. Do you mean the painter poles at HD?

[@rthib1960]

96 in. W White Heavy-Duty Steel Closet Rod $17.97 at HD. / Plastic Pole Sockets White $3.98. Get the ones that have a half open end on one side so you can remove it easily and quickly. I would get two because you can use it as as overhead storage but at least one is a must! @@ruthtrips7391

[@valeriefrench9405]

I’m looking to buy one of these aliners because a tent is too much for us getting older. My one dilemma is my 6’4” husband. Will he fit?? Lol

[@ruthtrips7391]

The peak is tall. And there are so many different styles of Aliners to choose from. You probably just need to find one that fits! Literally LOL 😊

[@adamsaidso]

HEY!

[@stephanmedlin7323]

Sides blow in?

[@ruthtrips7391]

No mine didn’t but that’s all I could imagine as I laid there listening to the wind howl! Aliners do need windkits to prevent risk of the side walls blowing in, yes. Since this trip I have added wind poles.
