Sorry to read about your Aliner not working out for you. I felt the same shortly after I boufht my lite weight Jayco travel trailer. I bought it new, paid for it in full and kept it for 6 years before finally admitting to myself that I bought the wrong trailer for my needs. I commend you for not waiting as long as I did to realize it wasnt going to work for you. I didnt buy my A Frame to make changes - it works for me & anything I do to it is to personalize to my particular needs. Its definitely not designed for long term living nor are they designed for large families....singles or couples are ideal and weekend camping or use as a personal motel room roadtrips (save hotel/restraunt fees). People dont buy A frames for their storage compartments - if so theyd definitely be trading them in for something with "more".
Glad to read you found something that fits your needs better. Too bad a person couldnt rent the model they want to buy before a purchase is made....happy camping!!
