I have driven my Aliner scout for 39,800 miles and been in much of the U.S (48 states) and Canada (10 provinces). (see hoffsalinertravels.net)
I don't see why someone would say it takes a long time to set up. After you unhitch and level (5 minutes), it takes about 1 minute to pop it up. I have even popped it up at Walmart just to get something.
I like the fact that it was easy to stop one night and then move on, because I had a lot of miles to cover. I also got 19 mpg hauling it with a Toyota Highlander.
