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!
