- Today we meet Bud who is living full time in an A-Liner, hard-sided pop-up trailer and really enjoying it! We learn all about why he chose the A-liner versus a normal soft-sided pop-ups, what he tows it with and what kind of MPG it gets.

Thanks for watching!
I was hoping to see the inside and what his thoughts were about the arrangement of things in there.
With $1500 to $2000 a month in old age security and some savings, with a nice little rig like this, I could live like this the rest of my life and be happy :) Cheers
Thank you for rescuing your dog. And thanks for sharing your story!
Dogs do grab our hearts. And sometimes our sandwich. But they are worth it.
Finally - an Aliner on your channel! Thank you Bob. We have one and love it. We're more the weekend warrior types (husband, wife and dog) so not living in it full time but we always say if a tree falls on our house, we won't be homeless. We could move into our Aliner and head west to catch up with all you wonderful folks. Looking forward to the inside tour next.
It is so peaceful watching these two talk.
I didn't realize how nice an A-Liner was and that it even folded down. This is a terrific option.
I watch a utube channel called Slim potato head n he lives in an A liner and hes made alot of improvements to his. Very intresting.
I was just watching him... Lol. He has some great videos.
He is not fulltime, he has a house that he lives in.
Margaret Modrovsky yes, he lives in Canada. Spends a lot of time traveling though in his aliner.
Yup.. Slim is how I learned about A Liners. I would not have considered them until I saw how well he did in his..
I do like that shade sail you have .. a very generous size.
Slim is the best. He's probably 90% full time
When the guy started talking about his dog i hit the like button
He seems like a very nice man. I love dogs too. They make your life fuller.
What a lovely man - mind you I love people who love dogs.
Tell him we love hearing about his dog!! That is part of these videos, learning how people are living this way on the road with their family members. And his dog is part of his family! Loved this video!
Cheers
Thanks Bob and Bud for another real slice of life out there. Really appreciate how you say your question or comment and then LISTEN for a while so they can tell their story.
Fabulous. Another winner by Bob Wells.
What a sweet guy! I wish we had an inside tour. Another great interview Bob!
Morgan. As I'm sure you know, Bob sometimes does two videos (one as an interview and second one as a tour) so he may have #2 coming out later. But if you look elsewhere there are a lot of YT videos showing these A Liner trailers inside and out. I like these trailers as well. Have a wonderful day . . . Cheers
Bob said at the end of the video, that another one is coming with the tour of the inside.
Thanks everyone! 😀

Love how these videos always tell us a little about the campers, and a little about the people living in them. Well done.🙂
Dog gone it Bob, you have done it again. Now I have to get me one of these now! I really liked this video. I also liked the person you intervened, a pilot. He really knows about the wind and the weight! Thank You!!
You interviewed a terrific man. Great set-up for the western states.
Another great interview. Thanks to you both
I have a 2005 Chevy Colorado, same truck as yours. 460,000km. And still going. Pulled a 16ft hard trailer 5 summers. That is one tough little truck.
I love this! Talking about added trailer weight somehow segues into talking (longer) about how great dogs are -- I like these guys!
The sunshade he built himself is great. Anything you buy already "custom made" is junk and expensive. Bud did a great job mounting the shade material. Looks great and provides a great shaded space to relax outside.
I just love this Man!! His love for his dog and even curious about Bob's dog, 💛🐾! I'm a dog lover and recently lost my furry companion of 8 yrs due to cancer. He was a snuggle bug and goofball too! I still tear up about him. Dog's definitely bring people together. ❤ I am impressed with the A-liner too. Please set me up with this Gentleman Bob?!?!
I have always thought that A liners were the weirdest, least practical design. What I didn't realize is that they are a type of pop up. Now I am considering one. I weekend warrior in my minivan, and my BFF is considering getting some kind of class B, truck camper, or something that we can take on the road. If my Minivan can pull this it would be a pretty great solution.
I had an Aliner for a few years. Loved how bright they are inside.
This "Trailer Tour" of the A-Liner was 99 % stories of the man's old 5 cylinder truck and his dog Rufus and 1% info on the A-Liner. 14 minutes and 14 seconds of my life that I'll never get back.
Thank you for making this! Just what I needed to see as I have a 4 cylinder pick up truck and have been researching what the lightest rig I should get that will still have a homey feel. So glad to have found your channel---Im feeling a binge comin' on! 👀✌️
I too have a 4 cylinder truck( 2016 Nissan Frontier), and this Aliner looks perfect for one person to live in.
Great Video...…….Only one problem....We never got to meet Doophus!.....Looks like he stepped on the right foot......good luck to both of you....Happy Trails.....
The best part was the talk about Doofus. I hope he's in part 2. Animals are the best. They really do claim us.
Hadn't seen an A Liner before ... looks spacious inside and airy... some creature comfort things wouldn't work but that's what seeing all the models of RV's is all about and watching Bob's Cheap RVLiving videos. So very informative. I've learned so much.
Looking forward to seeing the inside!! Can't wait to meet Dufus too!
Never heard of A-liners before this. Loved hearing his reasoning about going with this rig. Thanks, Bob!
Nice, well informed guy! Thanks, Bob! Can't wait to see the inside
Idk what it is but just hearing them talk is so relaxing
Such a pleasant person, a enjoyable interview.
Wonderful! Thank you!! Can’t wait to see the tour!!😊
Great video - thank you for posting!
Oh, there is hope for me! Thanks for this awesome video and inspiration!
I'll bet most of us would love it if Doofus was part of the interview too 😄 What a sweet story... "claimed". Great interview Bob.
I love the dog getting such a big mention. Too many times they’re ignored like they aren’t important.
I saw this at an Rv show this weekend and was surprised at how roomy it is inside. That said, not for a family but for a single traveler its quite nice. No bathroom and I think they do not have any fresh water tank either. The sticker price at the show was $24,000 and that was a discount! I have read that the roof's tend to leak after a while and then I read that the roofs tend to leak on pretty much all light weight travel trailers.
A man and his Dog and the dog was a rescue Hats off Brother !!!!! God Bless
I just found this channel last week, great to see you're still posting. Love the content.
I love most of your videos; this one especially. We have 1 year old Aliner Classic and love it. We have no plans for living in it but, may spend a few months in it when sell our house and buy a new condo. I think he’s making his life harder than it needs to be, though. The sink is great - has a pump and water heater. The one cupboard he showed under the bench seat is intended for a porta-potty. I wouldn’t be wild about having my toilet out in the living area. We use ours at night and tuck it away during the day.
Great informative video. Thanks so much
Sweet story about the dog 🐶❤️
A great video. Some good advice. Thanks Bob
My friends have one and they love it.
That's not Bud. That's old Bob with hair cut, shave, doing video magic like Patty Duke.
hahahahahahaha
I looked at these. I like them.
i had one similar, from Rockwood ! i've loved it ! my fuel consumption was higher, but i think that the Rockwood is larger..... Thanks Bob for the video !
Incredible rig. I toured one the other day. Another way to live efficiently.
can't wait to see Bud's goofy dog... A-Liner look cool, wait to see inside . thanks Bob.
Awesome video thanks for the side story about dufuss..........luvall your videos bob
Becoming a favorite Happy Trails Thanks 🙏🏼
We loved hearing about your dog. ♡
The wonderful thing about these fold down campers is you could even pull with a car!
Good information. Thank you.
I towed a 12ft 1966 Ideal trailor with a 4cyl/ stick Camery from Los Angeles to Seattle and back along the coast. It was easy to park. Dicey to tow at times due to the wind.
Martin Sage yeah I was thinking that, that 4x4 would pull that trailer all day long up and downs hill no problem. 1,200lbs is nothing. Think he should give that truck more credit lol
great video...I'm liking the A-liner !
I liked the video of Slim Potato Head when he stealth camped with the top down. Was more comfortable than I would imagine.
Excellent review of pros and cons of how he made the decision to get this pop up. Safe travels!
Good Video. Good to hear the thought process he went through before buying the camper.
What a charmer.... great interview and the tour is awesome..! These A frames are like a tardis.
Favorite thanks got me thinking 🧐 love princess raft of Texas 😊
What a great guy and a great vid as usual Bob! If I may be so bold as to tell you how to improve your vids I would say make SURE to include info about your subjects pets!!! I felt bad that Bud apologized about taking time to talk about his Dufus but that was one of the highlights of this vid as well as when you joined in to talk about Cody!!! I want to know how folks set up for their critters!!! Thanks again and I can't wait to see the tour!!! Safe travels!!!
kishanabear I completely agree I do want the whole picture and pets are part of it. I absolutely love it when their pets are mentioned and the love they have for them!
Way! Like be seeing the campers and also would enjoy a minute on their furry friends.
These are also great for stealth camping. You can still sleep in them when they're folded down and they look like standard covered cargo trailers so there's no risk of anyone calling the cops on that suspicious looking camper across the street.
I'm just discovering A-frame trailers... how do you sleep in it when it's folded down?
I enjoyed watching and listening to the video. Aliners have been on my mind for many decades. I was hoping to see the inside and changes/ additional that he had done. He struck me as as DYI guy who could give important personal insight in that regard. Also, would like to hear more of the traveling aspect ie, typical places that are acceptable/accommodating towards the A-liners along with overnight camping fees and such. How often does one need to disconnect and go to market for supplies? Maybe another video of yours covers those subjects?
Been researching these, need to start saving!
I just purchased an A-liner and i'm so excited and can't wait to use it.
Great Video Bob.
Thank you Bud
Really wanted an inside look. Glad that’s next
I can't believe Isuzu is still around! I thought they were gone for good! Nice
Bob excellent video!
Aliners are easy to repair. Air conditioners do not last long. Fastenings have a tendency to back out. For more information you can view the Aliners Owners Club web site. Great organization, state clubs and regional. We have logged over 40k on our Ranger 15. Boon docking, dispersed camping throughout the US. You can't beat the Aliner. Great info on your videos.
food for thought. Easy to two, inexpensive. hmmmmm pretty cool!
Going to look at one today. We will see. :)
I wish we got to see his interior.
Good interview
Nice ~ YOU ~ ROCK ! !
I've heard a lot of comments about tents and soft-sided pop-ups not being allowed at campgrounds and specifically at Yellowstone. I took a long camping trip in 2019 and I camped in Yellowstone in a tent at Madison campground for a week in September and lots of other campers were doing the same thing. There is one RV-only campground at Yellowstone where soft-sided pop-ups may not be allowed but there were no restrictions on tents or soft-sided trailers anywhere else in the park when I was there. The only place I went where they didn't allow tents was a state park in eastern Montana where they had a recent grizzly sighting, but even that wasn't a permanent ban. My trip took me through 9 western states.
I am still waiting to see the interior.
My dog's name is Doofus too! (knick name Doofy)...great name!
Bud has a very familiar voice.
Great video. I'm starting to look at the A-Liners now. Had my heart set on a Casita, but now ...
Love that camper and loved the dog story he broke him out of prison Awsome .
We need it to see the inside, that is what make it interesting.
I may get one of these or a Tear Drop camper.
Good video
As others have said, Bud is a nice guy.
I wanted to see the inside!
Watch the next video.

With the popularity of his videos Bob Wells is a homeless rock star. I love your videos, I've watched some of them several times.
Thanks
You are so cute, Bud!!!!
thank you for the great video. What is the TV in this video?
I’d like to see more Aliner videos. Especially how to deal with high winds etc.
Things must have changed. Around 2000, I camped at Yellowstone just in a tent.
Thanks Bob 🌹👍✋😎👏
Nice set up! I have a Honda Odyssey and I’m thinking about putting a hitch on and getting something small like you have. Just to do some weekend trips. My husband is an electrician. We are getting our youngest through pharmacy school. When she graduates we will be getting out more. Hope to get to the RTR and meet Bob wells. We might be related. You sure have a nice set up. And you don’t look 70 years young. Must be good living. Leslye Wells Goolsby.
I need to know how he attached the shade cloth. I will do the same on my A-liner.
Hello friends, congratulations for the video, my dream is to have one of these, but bringing it to Brazil is very expensive
I would need a little more than that to live in be ok for a little camping
