Down Sizing A Pop-Up

There's enough room for two (60x80 queen bed), plus the dinette makes into a roomy single bed when our granddaughter gets old enough to start coming with us! It fits into our garage, too. The Aliner Expedition is about the same size but has more standard options.

I've had both a Scamp and an Aliner and while the Scamp is a well made unit, I did feel much too confined. The Aliner is more like a big tent on wheels without the fabric sides. The newer Aliners have optional dormers to provide more space and though the present dormers have fabric sides, Aliner is developing units with hard side dormers. I have not been able to see a hard side dormer unit yet but anticipate viewing one soon (I live less than 10 miles from the factory).
The Aliner will not have the interior space of a pop-up, but there are many other advantages especially with setup, traveling and no complicated lift mechanism.
More at my campers.
