Aliner folding camping trailer
"The original solid wall, folding camper, proudly celebrates 25 years"

See Aliner forum at bottom of page

The manufacturer (Columbia Northwest) says: "Aliner is still among the lightest, most aerodynamic and fuel efficient recreational vehicles sold worldwide. The Aliner models have produced a large, loyal following of camping enthusiasts due to in part of the unique, easy to use design." Aliner tells RoTi that about 2000 campers are made and sold each year. (Including about 100 in Iceland!) The MSRP for the Aliner starts at about $13,000.
  
Aliner - the original solid wall, folding camper

Advantages include:

  • Easily towed by today smaller vehicles including SUV's, minivans and pick-ups

  • The lightweight and low tow profile makes Aliner one of the simplest pop-up campers

  • Unlike conventional trailers, Aliners set-up in less than 20 seconds; they are solid wall campers without any canvas material

  • With 100% solid wall construction, these trailers can be used year round in any weather and at almost any location

 15 floorplans are available with the Aliner; we show 4 of these here:

The first is the Sofa-Dinette model that Aliner tells RoTi is perhaps the most popular model - priced from about $13,000

The second is the Dinette/Bunk model:

The third arrangement we show is the Flexsteel-Dinette option.
We think this is a particularly nice arrangement.
