I thought I already posted this but must have hit the wrong button!:h
Anyhow, I have owned three Aliners over the past ten years with much enjoyment and minimum complaints. All have been pre-owned and the first was a 1994 Classic, no AC or fridge. I did have a couple of small leaks around the bubble windows which was easily repaired. Decided to upgrade to a non-folding TT with AC an a toilet but always missed my Aliner.
In addition to my non-folding TT I purchased an Aliner Alite (400 lbs net) for those times I would travel myself. Great for solo use but even though it will sleep two, the complete interior is utilized for the bed. So after a couple of years I just didn't go myself enough to justify it.
Sold the Alite and got a 2004 Aliner DL (995 lbs net). Added AC and a cassette toilet and am presently using the unit. Although I also have a Starcraft AR_ONE 15RB hybrid, the Aliner is so easy to tow and being able to see over the trailer thorough the rear-view mirror is great. Good gas mileage, hard sides, and easy setup makes it really nice for long trips.
I realize the A-Frame units are not everyone's cup-of-tea, and usually are not used for long term family camping, but they are a really good travel trailer for two. Some have even used them for very extended trips, e.g. Sandi's Route 66
