The Ultimate Aliner A-Frame Camper Trailer Video - Comparing ALL the Models

[@squibload58]

I just retired and I've never been trailer camping before. I'm shopping for an A-Liner now and considering a 2023 Ranger 12 still on a sales lot. I'm watching every A-Liner video I can find. I'd rather have portable propane stove and cassette toilet to put where I want according to the weather and whether there are neighbors. Curtained area works for me. I think the microwave is useless unless you bring a generator. I'll prob pull it out and use the space for storage. I'm making lists of useful mods and items to have on hand. I think an off-road elec bike would be handy. Extra solar panels.

[@mikeblenheim117]

Solar power would run the microwave, not sure how that’s a waste of space

[@OldSchool4U]

@@mikeblenheim117the smallest portable microwave I found is about 700 watts. You would need that $40-$50K Aliner with Eco system to run the microwave. My portable Eco 1000 might do the job but nothing else could be plugged in like a refer. Solar recharges the batteries. Inverters and lithium batteries do the magic and the bigger the system, bigger the batteries.

I really enjoyed living out of my aliner for a few months, so this was awesome to reminisce on those times!!

[@ExpressVanCamper]

We owned a 2020 Aliner. Like a lot of RV's it was amazing to see all the poor quality of work. In your video, we could see the Victron unit sloppily wired, what looks like 110V wiring stapled to the wall and shavings of ?? inside the cabinet. We had the same fridge as shown in the video and it was absolutely worthless (aware this is a Dometic issue but I would have thought Aliner would have known this based on many comments from users) Replaced ours with a 12V compressor fridge. Our roof aluminum sides were replaced after our very first camping trip. Each camping trip resulted in screws appearing on the floor never to find where they came from. Couldn't camp one night due to the high winds as we had to lower the roof for safety. In hindsight, the base model Scout model is their best model. Best to DIY all the things you want in your Aliner yourself and know they are done correctly and installed neatly.

[@timecode407]

The last one had everything you need. Well worth the money.

[@chrisgregore359]

This is so neat ... I didn't even know these types of campers existed. Thank you for sharing this info!🙂

[@debr2475]

I literally laughed out loud watching you take a shower ! Thank you, everyone needs to laugh more. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@masteryodaman639]

Good tip on the A-Liner upgrade mod 👍

[@Down2Mob]

Of course! You reminded me I forgot to link the videos! I’ll add them

[@Reality_Hurtss]

I went with a ridge line single axel 2023 travel trailer , I was on edge to purchasing an Aliner though

[@jqentertainment6966]

This makes me happy with my recent FB Marketplace purchase of a used 21 foot Palomino Palomino

[@NetworkingArtist]

Those were nice! I'm surprised that you didn't look at the suspension on the more off-road A liners, to see if they beefed them up any!!

[@garretlewis4103]

We have looked at the A-Liners in the past. We liked the last one; however, it had a nice price tag too. At that price, there are quite a few more options to consider.

[@Down2Mob]

You are correct garret! I think the lower end models make more sense because like you said, there are a lot of options at the higher price point

[@kaykaykayak9368]

Thanks, that was fun!

[@nathans.3751]

I have the Aliner classic with the off-road package and soft sided dormers. The soft sides add a lot more windows and air flow. If it’s cold I drop the dormers , and less space to heat. The outside shower with a pop up shower tent , and toilet works great for me. Keeps the odor and humidity outside where it belongs.

[@ScubaSteveCanada]

Except when it is too cold and/or windy outside.

[@LYLEWOLD]

Potatohead had an A-liner he could stealth camp in. Not sure if this works for all A-liners, but he could enter his in the down position and there was enough room to sleep. So it just looked like a truck and trailer parked, not that there was somebody inside camping.

[@michaelplunkett8059]

He must have slept on the floor. No sink, no stove. There is less than a foot between cushions and fold down panels.

[@BlazinBlades]

Inflation just killed everything including how approachable A-liners always were

[@Whatzzzgo]

Excellent post. Living the life, right on dude.✊✌️

[@connorhollinger8109]

Dang I wish I would've went to this RV show. We live in Lancaster, about 35 min from Hershey.

[@willdrivesu7914]

Damn, what an awesome design...i may have to turn my M1 trailer into an A liner, looks like it would be a lot easier than building a box onto it.

[@eutimiochavez415]

Just camp on weekends ❤❤❤❤

[@ItzTheThrill]

Thanks for the content!

[@randomspirit]

The problem with that shower is that you'd have to take the table down to use the shower and then get it all dry before you pack it away to set up the table again, which I think would be a PITA. Other than that, I like the Evolution the best, but the shower configuration is the reason I'll pass on it. I want a shower, but it needs to be more convenient.

[@lowrangeoverland9013]

outstanding💯👍

[@Down2Mob]

thank you! I really enjoyed showing these

[@sunroameroverland]

What I like about the extra slide outs being almost flat you could figure a way to add a woodstove

[@jesserevilla992]

The pop outs on the Aliner are called Domers. The composite material is great Star-board which is big in the Marina industry. Yet that other material is some a different composite?

[@silvermonk13]

My A-liner would have to be the 14k one. I'm a broke mofo and fixing my off-road vehicle costs enough :D

[@davidcolinstillman5585]

HI 👋 THE BACK ROUND LOOKED LIKE HERSHEY PARK RV SHOW ? BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! ENJOYED 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS ON YOUR ADVENTURES 🙏 THANK YOU 🙏

[@richardmorrow5060]

I purchasedthe evolution. It's my 3rd. aliner and I love it.

[@SAMMIEJONESJUNIOR]

The price of the larger A-liners is absolutely ridiculous. Go with a rockwood geo pro.

[@jqentertainment6966]

I agree. Super overpriced

[@Whatzzzgo]

You don't need burners, get an air fryer for indoor days and a tiny Coleman propane grill for outdoor use. Much more economical.

[@stevez340]

Totally agree that a GeoPro is a far more comfortable, livable and better equipped option to a $46,000 glorified pop-up👍

[@downshifter4179]

I really like the Aliner design BUT…where is the independent suspension for actual off-roading? Where’s the articulating hitch? For those higher priced models that stuff should be included..I’d also like to see them have a folding top rack from the side like some of the Aussie trailers. It’d block your inside view from left side but being able to carry kayaks/bicycles low and out of the wind while going down the road would awesome.

[@xbpbat21x]

But, didn't you see....it had off road tires...

[@ScubaSteveCanada]

I used to own a 2006 Scout Aliner ... only 900 lbs. bought an used Class B with a built-in shower and bathroom. Be careful how much money you spend because the competition can provide more features for the same price.

[@markaycock9835]

Casita!

[@mikerogers9711]

I would not do an A-Liner until they prove the quality upgrade.

[@dustinmittel348]

I'm sorry the prices are stupidly high

[@OldSchool4U]

Showering inside a confined space can result in mold and water damage. NONE of the Aliners today (2025) and in the past have gray & black holding tanks! You would need to put a portable gray tank on wheels (15-20 gallon capacity) outside underneath the camper to catch that shower water inside the camper. Otherwise a big puddle will occur with no catchment. That’s why outside shower capabilities more popular in popups. Outside you can move around and closely monitor water puddles forming. Males can easily shower outside in their shorts. Females might require a portable shower tent unless showering with swimsuits on. I like the new Ranger 10 & 12 foot units best with water heaters, outdoor showers and a front dormer for dinette. Other thing you forgot to mention in your video is weight factors! Each hard shell dormer adds weight to the camper. One owner told me two hard shell dormers added 300 lbs to his Aliner! Older tent dormers are lighter in weight and the attached panel can be closed in high winds and rain. Bubble windows are notoriously known for water leaks if sun damaged and the camper stored outside. You want anything to last…garage or carport cover your campers, boats, vehicles when in storage.

[@eutimiochavez415]

Kool❤❤❤❤

[@spiritualoutdoors7759]

32k…….. NOPE….. Almost 50k. Hahaha

[@willdrivesu7914]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking....you can buy a 32 foot trailer with all the bells and whistles for half that price. Slap the off road tag on something and you can really inflate the price on stuff. It doesn't even have proper off roading suspension, they just put on aggressive wheels and tires and call it off road, lol

[@lefty5463]

$50,000 WoW! I thought they don't cost no more than 25,000

[@Marienau666]

Aliner is cool idea. But expensive. The biggest in Germany over 35000€

[@Reeses0810]

No thanks tent is bigger more options setup is not that bad.

[@kCI251]

Prices have come down a lot since earlier in 2024.

[@kennethjinkins8967]

biggest enemy is condensation everywhere

[@MichaelHLacrosse]

Can u add a cargo rack to the top of these

[@gregmoessner3104]

Trailer like this shouldn’t be more than the pick up pulling it

[@tommackay7433]

32K? Ridiculous.

[@Speakno12]

Great price? Hahahaha

[@fat12boy52]

Shit camper, I work on rvs every day

[@kimdagnillo8246]

Is there any rv that’s not thrown together anymore ? Or the company that’s giving a damn … I’d like your expert opinion please 🤔

[@retired-loving-it]

Way way overpriced. You showed shower/no toilet. You show toilet/no shower. $46K ?

[@tcg2ki]

i would not pay more then $20k for one with a shower and toilet and stove

[@OverlandingArmyVeteran]

STOP USING WOOD when making Offroad Trailers.... Why cannot some of the manufacture's get that through their heads!!!

[@kentmccoy0216]

Grossly overpriced
