Guys I hear a lot of you complaining about her not mentioning price!!! there is a link to their website below and on this one she even lists specs on this unit. there u will find the prices! Geez!!! come on!!, , PJ does a fantastic job at demonstrating and informing the viewer of the units she is presenting. Great job as usual PJ!!!.
I' ve had a lot of folding trailers and caravans in UK over the years - by far this is the best I've ever seen - - love the design that looks easily maintained and very water tight - angled roof/overlapping lips etc - - nice clean secure fittings - strong shape - simple but clever stuff me thinks - -love it -
The great thing about this unit, as the lady explained, is the discrete slide-out that contains the full sized jacuzzi bathtub, separate shower, porcelain toilet and twin washbasins in addition to the side-by side washer/dryer combo. Having the full sized electric dishwasher in that kitchen is great as well. Nice presentation and it looks like Princess Craft provides a great value proposition here.
A-frame campers are great. EASY to tow. Rides smooth with independent Torsion spring suspension. Fast set up in less than a minute. 6 gallon Hot water tank. Microwave. 3 way powered fridge. Heated full size bed. Furnace and heat pump with a.c. fiberglass hard sides and much more. I bought a 2013 rockwood A122 hard side a-frame and it never leaks and I live in the Pacific northwest!
Excellent! I just purchased a 2021 Ranger 12 - this was actually more helpful than the salesguy (although he was, in all honesty, brand spanking new to RVs and a real sweetheart). Thanks!
This is a beautiful camper. PJ - you are GREAT! You do an EXCELLENT job of showing all of the details to this camper! Beautiful presentation! THANK YOU!
The problem with trailer tents is that you have a short trailer that can make parking and reversing a pain, and then unlike a caravan you have to mess about at the other end putting it up. Then like a tent when you fold it back up it will often be wet on the outside, have condensation on the inside and so when you get back home you have to put it back up again (if the weather allows) to air and dry it. I can imagine quite a few are opened at the start of a new season with the damp having had a great time eating the inside. Trailer tends appear to be the wonderful solution to a problem no one has.. They do make a great spectator sport, watching people struggle with them for hours, for that reason I'm all for them.
P J, u r a breath of fresh air!!! Very professional. I loath those loud guys who scream out their lines with red-neck studder. But hey, some people r really into the carnival deal, but not me, I'll buy from classic quality with engineered couth, thank you!
The interior colors have really improved. The interior is luminous. I find it a very attractive camper for people who want to spend less and still be confortable. But I still worry about water leakage in an Aliner since road bumps can bend the folding parts of the roof over time. Perhaps they fixed those problems with the profile extrusions.
I had an A Liner. Got rid of it after one rain shower. The interior was soaked. The mattress was ruined. The walls were water stain. We had to cancel our planned camping trip. Not a good product.
As a 75 year old former carpenter/finish carpenter, I don't think I would try to build one of these. Very complicated and you would end up with a gross weight 50% more than a factory built one. But if you are game, have at it!
Aliner will be available in Europe this year. We will introduce them at the RV trade show in Brussels and Dusseldorf. We are excited to introduce that line of "revolutionary" pop-up campers throughout Europe. Stay tuned!
One bad design I noticed is the propane quick connect by tire...that will get quite dirty from mud and sand....Rockwood has theirs hidden away...smarter in my opinion.
I have a 1989 Aliner. It was free 12 years ago, I think I like mine better. Its an original (classic). It has some water damage in a few places but I call that character 👍
Robert Steketee that’s what we have, and truthfully I think they are a lot nicer. Dark wood and all stainless steel. Plus who wants to haul the grill in and out? Ours came with a separate grill for the outside.
Janet Bratter love it as well. Anything camping works. We all just need to get outdoors : ) Was just swooning over our camper we are still in love with : )
If a video's purpose is to inform then it should always be done without distracting back round music or sound effects. People come to these sites to learn and be informed, not to be distracted or having to put up with some lame jingle or thumping music. It simply isn't necessary.
PJ knows how to do a video, she don’t need you tellin her how. The music went off as soon as she stepped inside,,, and she always does the Inside first,, Her troops like that.. most of these other salesperson s on other videos don’t know how to do one,,,
Nice presentation on both campers. On the Classic I would've liked to see the internal propane hookup. I also would've liked to see the cable hookup on the inside of the camper. On both trailers you didn't show where the propane hookup is located for the tanks. You also didn't mention if the campers are equipped with trailer breaks. You mentioned the freshwater hookups but didn't go into much detail on how the blackwater tank gets emptied.
Crazy idea, design two A liners to ve able to connect end to end. With a pop out in each end a dormer. With the center dormer's opening up and forming a door. The the dormer on the end with the tongue a toilet with a corner walk in shower. One hand pulled slide out for the kitchen stuff breakfast nook then door to other A liner. Behind door is the bedroom with a dormer with a toilet with fantastic fan. Modular A liner's. 😊👍
My parents have an A-Liner, they are crap. Too small, restricted head room on either end due to the roof angle, feels like you’re in a coffin because of being in a confined space, lack of windows that can open and their small size prevent good air flow so it easily gets hot inside, you’ll always have to have the vent fan running or the AC on. It’s a unique style of camper being an A frame, but don’t let the novelty of that fool you, it’s not a good camper.
Nice trailer. I didn't see anything on how you level the trailer at a campsite. The outriggers look fixed length. Uneven campsites generally require some sort of jack/adjustable leveling mechanism.
These small and light campers are leveled side-to-side by driving the low-side tire onto a ramped leveling block/kit, and the they are leveled front-to-back using the trailer's tongue jack. After that, they are stabilized using the stabilizing jacks that are at the corners of the frame.
Nice Presentation. Could make sink & Refrigerator counter same height - some more space under. Too bad - show canopies on the Classic. Would like to see larger unit as well. Thank you.
I really wish Aliner would make the frames stiffer and more robust. They are not really that great. Going up in size on the main support beams and crossmembers would greatly improve ridgity of the unit, and prevent bending of the frame. Wouldn't add that much in weight. But would make a better product. Anyone who has owned one can tell you that the frames are weak, thus the gaps it develops on the door frame. Just my thoughts, on what they could improve on. Other than that, great units. If they fix that issue, I would buy one again, probably the 15 ranger. The 12 ranger felt small with 2 dogs and the wife. Lol
@@Febrile1 mine seems fine, it's a 2012. I did replace the cheap foam, with a higher density foam, thus keeping better shape. It was falling off, so just replaced it, as the original foam wasnt stuck on very well.
@@jimmyjames8037 they should have done a better job. Still too weak in my mind. I have a 2012, and had to get it stiffened up as the frame was bowing and causing the door not to sit right in the closed position. That was straight from the dealership, it came like that. Main frame (length ways) should be 5" by 3", or 6"x3" minimum in my opinion. Would get rid of door issues and frame bowing.
@@fendermanize Have you seen the price of slide in campers? (that fit in the bed of the pickup). It's crazy. For both a truck AND a slide in camper, you could buy a small home. That's why I am looking at these A-liners. They have been recommended by many - And I can tow it with my Subaru. I don't need any more money for a truck :)
Here's a suggestion. Rip out the dinette and put in a dormer instead that allows enough space for a shower / toilet combo. Keep the sofa / bed and build in some airplane style tray tables for eating. Why can't anyone in the industry figure this out? Make a comfortable trailer for the solo camper with a cozy twin bed instead of a queen size monstrosity and free up even more room. Make it feel like an Airstream 16ft Bambi on the inside and then you'll have something.
this is great for going camping, but I don't think it can be used for long term use for any great length of time - well put together - thanks for sharing
I have a 1989 Aliner, I lived(survived) in it for 4 months back in 2008. They are quite comfy if you dont mind roughing it a bit. I showered out of a bucket of river water :) I also spent a few weeks in it in winter(NY) and the heater kept it warm, didnt use the water due to freezing temps. I still have it but it has some water damage now from sitting for too long, definitely cant afford a new one.✌
Check out "slim potato head" as he answers ALL your questions with great vids from all his adventures in his old Aliner! He's weathered some heavy wind storms out West!
If it's possible, it'd need to be on the top-most roof section. We haven't attempted mounting a kayak holder to the roof of an Aliner in our service shop, so we can't speak to the feasibility of such a project.
How come stream line camping trialers arent but anymore with pull out sides to give more room with frount door canapes to have shelter from weather with propane tanks on it
hello I love this small thing . like a toy. I am wondering about the out side shower in the princes 12 ? does it also have the same hook up for a shower and what you also s do they look light and the size of the tanks? you also did not mention the price or the weight of pulling and the weight of the trailer. I hate bath room toilets and what about composting option. Also do the doors have a screen?

Aliner really needs to hire this lady. I would pay stupid money to take salesmanship classes from her. Great video!
Noor Elahi ....ahhh. You are into cougars...to each his own.

Lol! You saw more features in the trailers than we did!
Wishful thinking!
I been watching these videos and have decided that PJ needs to read me bedtime stories lol
Lol!
Most excellent, professional presentation done with dignity, charm and style!
Yes. I was going to comment on the presentation. Very clear and attention to detail.

Compost toilet?
Honestly the most concise video explaining the Classic vs the Ranger! Thank you so much for solidifying our decision!
Glad to help!
Excellent review, I’m a solo woman camper and this review comparison was so helpful!
Thanks Sandra! Glad we could help you!
Excellent presentation of the trailer! You do a very good job.
Excellent! I just purchased a 2021 Ranger 12 - this was actually more helpful than the salesguy (although he was, in all honesty, brand spanking new to RVs and a real sweetheart). Thanks!
Simplicity is the best thing I like and u can remove it from the elements of winter no rusting in the garage it goes
Always impressed with your presentations. 👍
Thank you very much!
This pretty lady is a pro, she could sell me anything, I’d be helpless to resist. What a great voice for TV/Radio
Excellent briefing and walkthrough.
I really like that ! TY PJ for showing us this RV trailer
This is a beautiful camper. PJ - you are GREAT! You do an EXCELLENT job of showing all of the details to this camper! Beautiful presentation! THANK YOU!

I really like this A liner..

Give one to slim potatohead and let him critique it. ;)
After bout 2 months hede been made 100 improvements to it. And make these people feel ashamed
Agreed, give one to Slim, he'll give it a workout.
Please get one to slim...he’s in the market for a new one
Slim is your best marketing guy! Give him a good deal on a new one!
They should just GIVE Slim one. He's the only reason I'm looking at one of these.
One professional lady!
Excellent video! I'd give you an A+ for your presentation!
Wow, thanks!

Interior is improved but those ugly ass counter tops scream early 2000s.

Luminous? maybe you should look that word up....fyi
this is just awesome!!!!! i love it so much.
I want to build something like this in a basic version out of wood and metal for my self.
As a 75 year old former carpenter/finish carpenter, I don't think I would try to build one of these. Very complicated and you would end up with a gross weight 50% more than a factory built one. But if you are game, have at it!

I always travel alone. I'd like to see a full-featured, smaller version for less than $20,000.
Give me a call, I have a custom 12' Ranger for sale that is Badass!!
Looks like a great trailer but it really needs a lock and rock hitch. Maybe the manufacturer can figure that out for the offroad package some day.
Being over 6 feet tall I see myself being most comfortable standing directly in the centre of this camper
🤣
This would be great for a weekend getaway. The disadvantage of smaller campers is water supply
37 thousand so you can get away for a weekend?? lol.....try a hotel....a really nice hotel for that price.
I was concerned about struggling to put a aliner up,, but when i saw her do it so easily... i was like . maybe it isn't so bad
Ideal conditions indoors. No wind gusts, rain,mosquitoes and black flies..
Thanks, PJ!
Dear Universe i really want an Alite trailer (the smallest trailer Aliner made). sadly they stopped making them in 2013.
One bad design I noticed is the propane quick connect by tire...that will get quite dirty from mud and sand....Rockwood has theirs hidden away...smarter in my opinion.
i like it ... really comfortable set up...

Nice video. First time I’ve understood the difference between the two models
Average cost of a new Rockwood a122 hard side a-frame camper is 14,000. dollars. Another brand to check out is the aliner A-frame camper.
Much heavier trailer.You get what you pay for.
Robert Steketee that’s what we have, and truthfully I think they are a lot nicer. Dark wood and all stainless steel. Plus who wants to haul the grill in and out? Ours came with a separate grill for the outside.
@@TheKmc32275 There’s always the Coleman option for a stove...propane or liquid fuel. Stow away when not in use/ place above fridge to cook.

Best trailers !
When I hear "been in business for decades" this to me means they know all the short cuts and cheap construction.
Like the idea my opinion by a slight used 1/8 Grand be happy
I love it!
Be great to see slimpotatohead test these.

I dont think it has a black tank....just a gray tank or you need a portable tank at extra cost.

19 000 $$$$$$$$$$$$
Go to their site. No one gives prices on CZcams!
How is there not solar built into that angled roof??? Some manufacturer must have done that already.

Você consegue imaginar um lugar para banheiro aí?
Thank you very much. Princess. Very interesting story. Thank you very much. Where can I buy this house?
The standard pop up design makes way more sense.
Depends on the usage. Some parks do not allow 'soft side" trailers. Safety issues with wildlife? Not sure.
All those options... and no toilet.
Nelson Reyes take your shit in the woods!
Some of these Aliners do have a toilet option.

she's an awesome presenter. I love it!
Way to much camera time on the sales woman, I would have liked a pan view of he interior and some close up of the features.
I came to see the camper not the woman

The instant you sit I know we're into several minutes of rambling
Rambling? Or some helpful info. for curious people?
I thought this short presentation was very helpful personally.
A/C is optional? You're kidding me. There goes another potential sale for Floridians! You also failed to mention the Dry Weight on the Ranger 12.
nice idea!
does it LEAK when rain...and does it hold when windy

Can you get both ac’s??

where's the shower and toilet?
These models don't have shower and toilet facilities.

Appreciate it
What's the length of the beds? The trailer is 6.5' wide so are the beds nearly that?
Nearly. The walls are about 1.5" to 2" thick.
