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!
