After two years of shopping, we finally purchased a new Aliner Alite popup a-frame camper on Saturday.
Think "queen size bed with wheels".
At only 415lbs, we think the Alite is going to be perfect for our style of camping. The dealership tricks out their campers with power hook ups, an ac/dc inverter, interior lights, a whisper fan, stabilizing jacks and a large front-end storage box.
Hat's off to the crew at Sandhills RV Superstore in Sanford, NC - especially Lisa, Eric and owner Tammy Rausch - what a great group of folks! They made our three-hour drive from Wrightsville Beach worth the trip.
Here's a little video of Kat setting up the Alite for the very first time - with a little coaching from Lisa - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1RjA-gRaj8 - Aliner's motto is "Ready-Set-Camp" and they aren't kidding. After a few tries, we had Jager's new "dog house" up and running in less than 40 seconds.
As for towing, I had to keep looking back on the way home to remind myself the camper was behind the Element - never even felt it!
As soon as the sleet stops here at the beach, we'll shoot and post some interior photos.
Cheers!
Jamie and Kat
