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
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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
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.
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.
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 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 !
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.
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.
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.....
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 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 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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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!
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.
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.
April 7, 2018, Saturday, 11:26pm: I would like to see this ALiner ontop of a pickup....as the camper shell. Would that be possible? I like the idea of no towing....an all in one live-in situation. I agree with Bud....I would have opted for the two dormer windows.....in snow country or just in beautiful surroundings, I'd like to be able to see out all the way around the ALINER. $12k.....not a bad price. I'm an RN, and I kinda agree with Bud about the bacteria threat in those water containers. Yeah, yeah, you can bleach-n-water dilution disinfect them, but.....Plus, water weighs a lot. About 10 pounds per gallon.
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.
I didn't realize how nice an A-Liner was and that it even folded down. This is a terrific option.
It is so peaceful watching these two talk.
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.
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.
What a lovely man - mind you I love people who love dogs.
Love how these videos always tell us a little about the campers, and a little about the people living in them. Well done.🙂
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.
You interviewed a terrific man. Great set-up for the western states.
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
Fabulous. Another winner by Bob Wells.
Another great interview. Thanks to you both
Nice, well informed guy! Thanks, Bob! Can't wait to see the inside
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!!
Such a pleasant person, a enjoyable interview.
I love this! Talking about added trailer weight somehow segues into talking (longer) about how great dogs are -- I like these guys!
Never heard of A-liners before this. Loved hearing his reasoning about going with this rig. Thanks, Bob!
I had an Aliner for a few years. Loved how bright they are inside.
Looking forward to seeing the inside!! Can't wait to meet Dufus too!
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! 😀

Thanks Bob for this talk. I'm surprised about the used price. I thought they were less. But glad he enjoys it.

A great video. Some good advice. Thanks Bob
What a charmer.... great interview and the tour is awesome..! These A frames are like a tardis.
Awesome video thanks for the side story about dufuss..........luvall your videos bob
A man and his Dog and the dog was a rescue Hats off Brother !!!!! God Bless
can't wait to see Bud's goofy dog... A-Liner look cool, wait to see inside . thanks Bob.
Sweet story about the dog 🐶❤️
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 !
We loved hearing about your dog. ♡
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.
Becoming a favorite Happy Trails Thanks 🙏🏼
I just found this channel last week, great to see you're still posting. Love the content.
Good Video. Good to hear the thought process he went through before buying the camper.
Idk what it is but just hearing them talk is so relaxing
I love most of your videos; this one especially. We have 1 year old Aliner Classic and love it.

Excellent review of pros and cons of how he made the decision to get this pop up. Safe travels!
Great informative video. Thanks so much
great video...I'm liking the A-liner !
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.
My friends have one and they love it.
The best part was the talk about Doofus. I hope he's in part 2. Animals are the best. They really do claim us.
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.
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.....
Favorite thanks got me thinking 🧐 love princess raft of Texas 😊
I just purchased an A-liner and i'm so excited and can't wait to use it.
Incredible rig. I toured one the other day. Another way to live efficiently.
I love the dog getting such a big mention. Too many times they’re ignored like they aren’t important.
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.
Good information. Thank you.
I looked at these. I like them.
Really wanted an inside look. Glad that’s next
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.
Great Video Bob.
The wonderful thing about these fold down campers is you could even pull with a car!
Thank you Bud
I liked the video of Slim Potato Head when he stealth camped with the top down. Was more comfortable than I would imagine.
Bob excellent video!
Going to look at one today. We will see. :)
Been researching these, need to start saving!
I can't believe Isuzu is still around! I thought they were gone for good! Nice
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 ...
Good interview
food for thought. Easy to two, inexpensive. hmmmmm pretty cool!
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.
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!

Love that camper and loved the dog story he broke him out of prison Awsome .
Nice ~ YOU ~ ROCK ! !

That's not Bud. That's old Bob with hair cut, shave, doing video magic like Patty Duke.
hahahahahahaha
You are so cute, Bud!!!!
I’d like to see more Aliner videos. Especially how to deal with high winds etc.
Thanks Bob 🌹👍✋😎👏
Good video

Way! Like be seeing the campers and also would enjoy a minute on their furry friends.
I wish we got to see his interior.
I may get one of these or a Tear Drop camper.
I am still waiting to see the interior.
thank you for the great video. What is the TV in this video?
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?
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.

Things must have changed. Around 2000, I camped at Yellowstone just in a tent.

Hello friends, congratulations for the video, my dream is to have one of these, but bringing it to Brazil is very expensive
I need to know how he attached the shade cloth. I will do the same on my A-liner.
