We have a 2015 Aliner Ranger 15 (15 foot box; 18 feet total), which I think of as a PUP, especially if booking a site that says "Tent, Pop Up, or Camping Vans Only". We love ours - it fits almost anywhere, and tows like a PUP. We pull it with our 2010 Nissan Pathfinder with no problems at all. It weighs around 2100 lb. dry, and it can be pulled easily with any vehicle that has a 4000 lb.+ towing capacity. Aliners are lighter than the other brands, due to their construction materials (also less impervious to water), which is why we chose this brand, despite paying a bit more for it.
The Aliner Ranger 15 and the Aliner Expedition have a taller ceiling than other models of any brand, so they would be good for a tall person. They are also 3 feet longer than other models of any brand.
We have the Cool Cat and LOVE it! It has an 11.5k a/c (I think), with vents and a digital thermostat, just like at home. You can also order a propane furnace so you can use it without electricity, but since we never boondock, we skipped that option. The heat pump provides plenty of a/c or heat, depending on the setting you put it on. Since we do most of our camping in GA and FL, this is important. We sold our Aliner Classic (12 foot box; 15 feet total) that had the 5k window a/c - it just didn't cut it in southern heat.
To gather additional information, I suggest that you join the Facebook group: A Frame Campers: Aliner, Chalet, Rockwood/Flagstaff, Starcraft.... It's a great group with helpful people (some salty ones, too - lol).
