Over the last several years I have had three Aliners. Like most anything else they have advantages and disadvantages which to a large extent is determined by how you intend to use the trailer. The big advantage of the Aframes is quick set-up / tear-down and that is a big plus if you don't intend on staying in one place for many days. Also the lightweight allows for a smaller more economical tow vehicle. If most of your use will be to go a short distance and camp for a while, you might as well get a box trailer that is more spacious and has a big bathroom. I have both an Aliner and a larger non-folding unit. If I plan to travel, the Aliner is great. If I'm going not too far and camp for a while, I take the non-folding unit. As far as quality, my experience has been that all manufacturers are a bit lacking. Good quality control requires additional cost and the RV market is very price sensitive.
