My husband and I love ours. Tows easy and have never gotten wet with severe rain storms and wind. We park with hitch into the wind. We ordered ours without an air conditioner.
I recently purchased a 2023 Scout Lite, and I can't say enough GREAT about this little guy. Only had it for a couple months, but I've gone camping many times in that space, and I love it for so many reasons. With the A/C and the tiny space heater I bring on board, I think this truly is a 3 to 4 season camper. It pulls beautifully behind my Subaru Outback. I'm one of those people who enjoys cooking on a fire pit or my propane stove outdoors, so this camper really fits the bill. I recommend it highly. Seems that every campground I visit, my Scout Lite is a topic of conversation with my fellow campers!!
I didn’t see a refrigerator?
That was my question can a subaru pull it. Thanks.
Nice trailer
This us really all I need. I still love roughing it with tent camping, but as I'm get a bit older, I think I'd like it a bit less rough lol. This is basically a tent on wheels, a place to sleep and change clothes. This would be perfect for my girlfriend and I.
Yeah. A-liners are best enjoyed when viewed as a “really amazing tent,” - it you were looking for “a cheap or light RV.” - will likely be disappointed.
@@Itried20takennames bearproof tent is the best camping ever
Nothing earth-shaking for 2024, but the price I expect.
Love PJ to bits. She's the best at these types of walkthroughs. Stating what this size model "starts" at price range wise should really be included. The segment is time stamped so someone watching this yrs later would expect the price to have changed. I can't imagine someone watching this segment who likes the trailer would "not" want to know roughly what they start at price wise. Thankyou, the trailer looks well made yet lightweight too.
Thanks! That information is available in the video description!
@@PrincessCraft any good rituals to perform? I'm hungry
That's perfect for a single traveler like myself. It looks like there's room for a few added luxuries, too.
You always do such a great job with your RV tours! Thank you!
Thanks so much!
What I want is a bed, a small sink, a toilet and shower, a small refrigerator, and AC.
I want a simple motel room, nothing extra. You cook outside, rough it, if you have to, or get take-out.
Basically, it's a tent with a bathroom and AC.
Electric blanket, try one of those water tube mattress toppers. They are popular in Japan.
Basically, a mattress topper and surgical tube run through it. Small heater, pump.
P.J. I love your presentation and very pleasant to watch. I did purchase one recently in AZ. It does require some touch-up modification or repairs to fit my needs.
Greetings PJ from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video especially how simple it was to assemble the trailer
Love it!
Hello PJ nice seeing you
Great job modeling that rv
Thanks 👍
I like the size. Setting it up would get old fast though if your on the road.
Id simply just pull that aC back inside that top cabinet. 🤷Oh well for that space . ROLL it out on site cabinet drawer design for the air . You can do it . 👍
Love the fact it has a spot to hide away a portable toilet!
That spot PJ pointed out just inside the door is probably too small except for a kiddie pottie. A small model could go under the rear bunk or under the counter to the right of the sink, if you devise a way to get it over the lip at the bottom.
@@WoozyHippo any saw would solve the cabinet opening problem LOL
Very nice. A bit tight for long term camping but it has everything to be cozy.
Very true!
This is what I'm probably gonna get. The advantages on towing a unit vs. , the full size 7 foot tall units is astromical. No trailer wagging and to be able to see over the top of the camper is good too.
Cute
Very knowledgeable.....nice review..
Can you option these with no skylights? I worry about roof leaks with giant holes cut in it.
I have never seen one of theses in a campground
Cool but a no go for me if there is no bathroom!
Like the assembly set up.Can the sink pump water from a jug under the sink? Say a faucet that is rechargable?love the pull up shades
That would require an aftermarket upgrade to a 12-volt pump system, but that's a really easy upgrade to make. Pretty inexpensive, too.
@@PrincessCraft .no,I have one for car and tent camping.fits on a 5gallon jug
Then you already have the aftermarket equipment you need! Time to camp and have fun!
@@PrincessCraft what does that one cost?
As the media guy (sorry, I'm not PJ) I have to direct to you to someone in our parts department to help you with options and pricing on equipment like that. They know what they are able to source and the costs associated. partsroundrock@princesscraft.com
Cute as hell but I would worry about leaking!
Where does the gray water go after being in the sink?
The bubble windows on Aliners in Australia pop up to allow for better airflow! AND, they do not leak! Biggest problem with Aliners - poor air flow! Not enough windows that open.
Is the Aliner Scout LITE available in Australia?
As the scout is often used for off grid camping, I'm surprised (and disappointed) that there isn't a 12v cigarette socket in the camper...it has a solar plug in, but no 12v plug in?
Do these campers have screen covers on the windows ? I'd like to know how ppl manage when camping on areas with lots of mosquitos.
They have sliding windows with screens. The bubble windows don’t open.
I have never seen a liner with an awning. I’m curious is there any ability to attach some thing that could be put up or taken down with the assembly of the unit?
They do make some commercial awnings that fit a-frames. I use a 9x12 tarp, tie it to a zip tie around the pivot of the high wind kit at the peak and at both corners front and back. Three canopy poles and it makes a nice peaked canopy. 10 min. setup.
Whats the price?
How well does this seal up against rain water, especially from storms?
Very well, provided it was put together properly. Mine had a piece of weatherstripping glued on crooked, and once the silicone that they shot in the gap wore away (after 1 season), it leaked. I had to reposition the weatherstrip.
@@WoozyHippo must have taken a full 2 minutes to fix LOL
I wish those bubble windows were an option. I'd rather load up that roof with flexible solar panels.
I wouldn't want the AC where it is. I would rather use a portable AC. The AC should not be where it could get damaged or where the wind could damage the fins. Sales persons who needs them I'm for online buying and just pick up the item.73
Ever time I've seen these people keep smashing their heads assembling
What’s the base price?
the bugs love those outdoor kitchens , ha ha ha
Yes they do
just burn an extra slice of bacon to smoke the mosquitos away LOL
This is really cool and looks well thought out. I like it 🫸🫷
I just hate the bubble dome windows, they are the first place water leaks. Have the option of not having them. The shades don't block out the light enough and you can't really see out them. They are a waste of time.
Bubble window is great when you're lying in the bunk looking out at the sky or trees (during daytime) or sitting on the front bench looking out back. It has a brownish tint, so not good at night.
I would never pay this kind of money and have to use a 5 gallon bucket or a shrub for bathroom!
Weight exclude propane tank and battery and fluids etc
I would need the next size up .This 1 is a bit to small
The Aliner Classic or the Ranger 12 might be perfect for ya.
Yes , I agree .Have U dun any recent vids of those yet PJ .Or any recent ones of the Ascape cos I love those to .
I have 2010 ford ranger XLT regular, can I tow that aliner or it ‘d be way too heavy for the ranger
Easy. Just don’t over load it.
Looks very nice but how much is it?
$14,000
What does the basic model cost
When buying car-boat motorcycle how much does it cost to the math
Whats the price. Couldnt find on your website :)
The trailer shown is currently $13,995.
@@PrincessCraft thank you :)
Do the smaller windows open?
Yes, the two small windows on the door side slide up and the lower part of the large window on the other side slides to the right. All have screens.
This unit how much is it .
How many horse power do you need to pull it. Can a car pull it ?
Lots of factors go into determining what you need to tow a trailer safely. I tow my Scout Lite with a Rav4 hybrid, 1750 lb tow rating, and it tows great, but I wouldn't stress it by towing a lot in big mountains or taking 1,000 mile trips. A car with a 1500 lb tow rating wouldn't be advisable. Once you load it with what you'll need you'll be at or over the limit. My Scout Lite is 1535 lbs with everything in it. Tongue weight is another concern.
All the A-liners have brakes so you'd also want a brake controller, even if brakes are technically not required in your state for that size trailer.
It's so deceptive that RV and Sailboat companies always use the tiniest person to show their wares. That's a nice tiny trailer for a 5' woman, but what about a typical 6'+ man?
{shrug} It is what it is. If you need something bigger, bigger trailers are available. And they weren't deceptive; she stated very early on in the video that she is only five feet tall.
Not for NFL offensive linemen.
Why in a sane persons mind WOULD YOU PUT AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET UNDER THE SINK LIP?
Off road worthy? Or any models for that matter.
They have some models that have an "off-road" package option, but these are really not off-road campers.
Howe much 100k?
A plastIc tent on wheels.
A Liners are like Frank Wright's houses. They all leak.
We’ve had ours for seven years - never had a leak. Love it!
@@susansalvucci4281 which model?
@@JoePAcalaughs we have a 2016 Scout.
I like the idea but not the price. I don't like acs that hang out. My window units only hang out 11 inches, 4 inches past the sill. I'm sure aliner could have picked a better AC unit. 73
Haha, at least the houses were designed to "leak!" Leaks are a possibility with any fold up trailer especially. You have to keep an eye on the seals and maintain them. Mine is a 2022 Scout Lite and I had a leak because they glued some weatherstripping on crooked in the factory. A Casita or a Scamp would be nice, but they don't fit in my garage (requirement in my area) and cost quite a bit more.
How Bear proof is it?
About the same as any other camper that’s built with the same materials for framing and walls. We’ve never come across a truly bear proof RV.
Like the other comment mentioned, same strength as RVs built with same materials. Bears will get into any RV if it wanted to. I’d like to think having some hard walls like these will be more of a deterrence though lol
@@flamecrow ld be comfortable with black bears, Grizzlies, nope!
Air conditioner should be on the back
It would make back bed too cold if it was in the back.
Needs entrance handle for when stepping up into camper.
We have the Scout Park model 14’ and the air conditioner is the same way. I questioned it when we purchased it….but it’s really not as big of deal as I thought it would be. No propane tanks on ours either so I mounted a small box on the front behind battery box. Keep the wheel, Jack handle, chords and chalks in it perfectly. Great little campers 👍
No stove but it has an air conditioner?😂
@@deanvoss7098Many like to cook outdoors
You caint run an air conditioner set back inside of a cabnet. Air intake folks ???
Ok, they use a saleswoman five feet tall for this empty dollhouse.
They used to give you a STOVE
And MINI FRIG.
I DON'T GET IT.
Looks like GASLIGHTING to me
CHANGE MY MIND.
9 MAY 2023, TUE. 🖖🐈
I can’t believe these pos things are like 25k
The seating is always so uncomfortable in these things
That AC outside like that on the side.. crudely bolted.. give me a break.. back to the drawing board..
Riveted in. The problem is not that it's going to come loose, but that the rattling and bumping when driving down the road will cause it to need periodic replacing.
That is really ghetto!
A homeless guy would definitely make this work.
Its a 10 ft box, too small. Our Ali er is a 12 ft box.
Lookin for a shower
5 ' She makes it look roomy .
Put a six footer in . Give us a more realistic look at this thing .
I'm 6'1" and have enough headroom in the standing area, and fit fine in the bunks, though the front one is very narrow at 30". The headroom at the peak is 7' 1". One of the attractions of the A-frame versus something like a small teardrop is that you can stand up straight in it. You have to be careful when sitting on the bunks/benches, though! The soft front dormer, which I have, gives you a lot more headroom on the front bench/bunk.
Useless. A tent leakes les .
Completely asinine design. There is zero reason for the triangle shape and the resulting loss of space.
I've designed my own hardshell that avoids this issue but still "pops up".
14,000$ ЭТИХ ДЕНЕГ ОН НЕ СТОИТ!!! ЗА ЭТОТ КУРЯТНИК!!!
What the price
