Excellent question, Ken... I hope it generates some response. My wife and I are considering giving the Aliner a look, too. We've done the full-size RV, the smaller camper vans, and have decided we love the convenience of a popup. BUT... at this point in life, our Viking is not always that convenient, especially when pulling into a campsite a little later in the day than we had planned. We were up in Colorado at a campground and witnessed a couple of guys pull in with their Aliner, and - no exaggeration - they had it up and had crawled inside in under 5 minutes!
I, too, want to know... was that reality, or merely an hallucination?
PS: I wanted to meet these guys and get a "tour" of their rig, but they were up and gone before the sun! :/
