Our Aliner History
Ok, this may be of interest only to us and a few of our friends, but I hope that as I become more proficient at blogging, this site will be of some use and interest to other Aliner owners. During the late summer of 2013 we headed out for a camping trip, yes, by tent, for a couple of weeks in the South Eastern states. The first night was great, the second just a little to wet to tent, and each night after that got progressively worse. Finally we gave up on the idea and headed to Wilmington, NC to stay with my wife's brother for a few nights. While there we made the decision to get a camper. We saw Aliners for the first time at Wilmington RV Sales and Rental on Carolina Beach Rd, and immediately realized that one of these would be perfect for us.
We were not totally sure that camper camping was the thing for us, so were unwilling to commit the $s for a new Aliner, but when we got home (Syracuse, NY area) we started looking for a used model. We found it in Buffalo, NY, gently used and well maintained and an acceptable price was agreed upon. After completing the change of ownership we headed for Samson State Park on Seneca lake for our first night in the new camper. It went perfectly until we tried to move the next morning and found that the alternator on the RAV had burned out. We ended up having car and camper towed home. However, our first night of Aliner camping was so good that we were instantly hooked. 
We have made this blog to relate some of our adventures, pass on tips about nice places to visit, and share information about Aliner maintenance.
Happy camping,
Ranald and Pat
