- In this podcast I interview ALINER CEO & President Brett Randall. The podcast focuses on the new Evolution model, but shockingly Brett announced the introduction of a brand new camper which is the first ALINER that utilizes lithium ion batteries which makes the trailer lighter and more suitable to Electric Vehicles. The more powerful battery's are also perfect for boondocking or off-grid camping.

Totally enjoyed the interview. Great Q&A. I don't own one but the Evolution has a great look and style to it.
Thanks so much. The evolution does look nice and the ALiner Amp has a lot of new cool technologies in it for sure !!
Great video! I am looking at getting an Aliner next Spring. I like so much about this product and the simply of it. I look forward to the new updated Aliner and all the off grid capabilities. Thanks again for this great interview. Such great questions!
Hey Chris, thanks so much for watching and the compliments. Means a lot to us!! Hopefully we'll see you in an Aliner soon. I have a facbook group that focuses on aliners. Have a lot of new owners and prospective owners in the group, so you may want to consider joining - facebook.com/groups/aliners.out.west
Love the Aliner and it’s great for my Husband and I.
They are just to pricey
Yep, that's why I bought used. There are some great deals on used ones.
Whoa, super cool of Brett to give his time for this video. We loved our Aliner. We had 2.5 years of year-round camping opportunities and use in Arizona while we owned it. Pros: Garaged at home, easy to tow, easy to setup, and great shelter while boondocking. Cons: No gray tank. Campgrounds do not like waste poured on their property, even trying to catch it in a bucket underneath the camper. No black tank. Figure out a solution (we bought a cassette toilet for indoor use). Poor A/C performance, even in 85-90+ degree weather. What this meant was, it was a great camper when you can plan around weather for comfort, and have shower/toilet options. We traded ours for a larger travel trailer with more comfort features, but, that was our decision, and not Aliner's problem. Summary: An Aliner is a super camper for weekend trips (you can boondock two nights no problem and figure out exterior shower options and digging a cathole). It's also a super camper for two nights at a campground, plugged in for full power, and using the campground bath/shower amenities. My only caution is insulation and weather forecasts for A/C use above 85 degrees. The furnace is hot... so, no problems going to colder climates and staying warm. The fridge is small at 3 cu ft, but it'll hold a few groceries while you bring a cooler iced down for drinks. Oh, and you'll have to pack a duffel bag of clothes, because the Aliner does not have a wardrobe closet. Reminiscing, I kinda miss our Aliner. It was our "hardcore tent on wheels" when we really wanted to get away and boondock. Cheers to Brett and you for making this video happen. Pete in Arizona - KI7LIL
I was so fortunate to get this opportunity, and for Brett to give me the "scoop" about the new model !! Thanks for summarizing your experience with the camper!! as well as the pro's/cons.
My main reason for looking at an Aliner is weight. I have a "maximum" towing limit of 2,500 pounds on my Rav4, and I don't want to get anywhere near that upper limit. The Scout Lite is comfortably under the max limit. I've done a lot of camping in tents, where I didn't have ANY amenities, so a Scout Lite will seem luxurious. The A-frame construction of the roof gives me at least some area of 6' headroom, and the solid walls can stand up to a Death Valley winter windstorm a lot better than a tent. I do most of my camping in autumn, winter, and spring, in USFS and National Park campgrounds that don't have hookups, so I'm used to the idea of not having air conditioning, and don't plan on buying my A-liner with that option. The only electric I need is 12 volts for lights and an ARB fridge/freezer, and a couple of 100 watt solar panels is more than enough to supply an ARB in cool weather. I went tent camping at Furnace Creek last December for 11 days with just a single 85 watt solar panel, and never ran out of power to keep my 50 qt. ARB fridge running at 27°F.
Yeah, we tent camped for a year before getting our Aliner. We love it !! @@laura-ann.0726
Nice job, Darrell!
Thanks so much. Really nice for Brett to give me the time, and also the information about the upcoming new model.
