Camping: Aliner Style

My wife and I love to camp, but the lovely cool wet Oregon spring and fall make the season for tent-camping awfully short! So, we went out and found ourselves one of these - a 2003 Aliner Scout. With all of our stuff in it it doesn't weigh more than 1200 lbs; I can tow it with my 4-cylinder Honda CRV. It pops up to look like this in literally 60 seconds or less.

Any other Aliner owners here on TBD?

my grandma used to take us camping in a trailer. It didn't look like that though.

I love the kind your grandma probably used, but they're harder to find!!

What's the price of that thing?

Joe, I got it used for $4500 but a new Scout should run about $9000; they go up from there if you want fridges and stoves and all that.
