Congrats Jeff! The main thing is that it comes with it's own heater. Been
there, done that! Going anywhere good this weekend? LuAnn

Here it is...this one is for Bernie, but everyone is invited to read along...
While driving to Texas, I got to check out the Aliner camping trailers at a RV
place in Springfield, MO. Quite interesting, but the dealer was not quite
willing to work with me. So I moved on. Got to Texas and to a little town just
north of Austin called Pflugerville. Within Pflugerville is a little truck
camper dealer called "Princess Craft." They carry the Aliner camping trailers
plus a bunch of truck campers. I stopped by to check out a special ALiner model
called the Alite 4000. My 4 cylinder Ranger could EASILY pull that thing. Well,
one thing led to another. The Alite 4000 was WAY too small. The mid size model
called a Sportliner appeared about right, but the salesperson talked me into
hitching up the largest of the Aliner models: the LXE. I thought my truck would
die, or at least struggle with the weight of it, but I agreed to a test drive
with it. My truck didn't break a sweat...I got it up to 60+ MPH WITH THE "MAX
A/C" ON before the Ranger gave any sign of a struggle
. Wow!
Ok, what type of deal could I make? Well, not MUCH of one, but enough, and I
have now towed that Aliner LXE model from Pflugerville to San Antonio, back
passed Pflugerville again and all the way to St. Louis. I camped a couple
nights along the way. It has A/C, a microwave, refrigerator with freezer, a
tiolet and a shower, a furnace, and several other things (gas detectors, etc)
with plenty of room for one person--possibly a couple others. Now, just one
question remains:
Who wants to go camping this weekend??? Or any other time in the near future?
Let me know and we'll see what we can set up!
I'm SO excited!
