Hmmm...I go through that too. Last year, in Wyoming, we were camping right next to an Aliner Expedition and once we saw the inside of it, well I wanted to trade my '23 for one. Then I came to my senses and know the Ranger 12 is the best fit for us. I think we sometimes get caught in the "wow...
Hmmm...back from several days boon docking and used our fridge and furnace on 12v while doing so. I have a group 31 battery and my fridge only runs on 12v in the 2023 Aliner Ranger 12. We used the lights and did nothing sparingly or unusual. The longest part of the trip was 4 days running on...
Hmmm...I like the blue light as a night light when I need to get up to use the Porta Potty. Mine is not that bright and gives just the right amount of light so I don't disturb anyone else. Works for me, I'll leave it alone.
Came back this week from a 2 week outing, which included Wisconsin to Wyoming, and back with my Aliner Ranger 12. Only average 17.5 MPG with my Ridgeline and would love to have gotten 20. No problem towing. Boondock for 5 nights, needing heat 4 of those nights. Aliner was comfy and the only...
We generally make a hearty breakfast and then snack through lunch, with dinner, depending on time of day, being a nice restaurant or a great dinner made at the campsite. We travel flexible, but have no kids to worry about.
Yup, campfire is great way to cook, but you have to be patient and plan well. For quick meals we will pull out the Coleman grill and fire it up...not quite as good as wood fired, but excellent nonetheless. Blackstone was too heavy for us, to cart along, so we passed on it. Each to their own.
I've done it all and now want a simpler style. There are just two of us and many times I camp alone. After much thought, I ended up the an Aliner Ranger 12. Fits my style. I honestly did not want a big rig again. We all change and the needs of life change too. When I had my kids growing...
Nice. Glad you found what you wanted. I went through the same thing a few weeks back. I have an Aliner so want to save space and ended up with the Coleman Grill with side burner. It works great and has a small foot print when in storage.
I used the Serta 3" soothing cool model and it worked well. The bonus was it actually felt cooler than others I tried and I slept better. Most advertise cooler, but don't deliver. YMMV
I never said it was less maintenance than a TT, if you were commenting on my post, I said it was easy to maintain and my reference was to an Aliner. Just attempting to clarify.
I did the TT route and now back to an Aliner. Easier to tow, easy setup, easy on gas, easy to maintain, easy to park, easy to store, and with a few tweaks as comfortable, if you don't need a bathroom. Mine does have an portapotty and outside shower and I've used both...no big deal. The big...
I purchased a Clam Venture and was wondering about the side panels, for wind protection. Amazon offers them in 2 or 3 panels. I am wondering which to buy? Do I need two or do I need three? What has been your experience? Any advice is welcomed.
Yes, pups are getting expensive. I could have bought a small TT, for what I paid, however I did not want to pull that much weight around and needed a small profile that fit in the garage. Did not want to store offsite. The small profile, of the Aliner, allows me to easily travel cross country...
Heard from the dealer today...camper will be produced the first week in August and I should have it by the 3rd week. Looking forward to using it. We are planning Fall trip to the Black Hills, in S.D.
Thanks again for the warm welcome.
As a young man, I lived in Hancock for a few years, working for the Intermediate School District. I loved that area and return every year for a visit. Will have to check out the places to camp.
