Innagural trip delayed

So our first official trip in the Aliner will have to wait another few weeks. For 10 days every March a special breed of tourist comes to Central Florida - Bikers. Now I've nothing against bikers, but they tend to overtake well...everything. Traffic sucks, stores and restruants are busy as hell, and apparently every campsite in 100 mile radius is booked solid. So we wait.

In the meantime, thought I'd post a few Aliner pics:

Thats her all popped up and lookin pretty


And a snapshot of the inside, facing the dinette. Stove and sink on the left, microwave on the right.

From the Dinette, looking at the pull out sofa. Pulls out to a queen size bed, plenty of counter space too.

The above pics are from the previous owner, but we'll shoot some of our own when we get out to a camground in a few weeks. We have a full wekend next weekend, so look to get her out to a local spot the weekend of the 24th.

Some Aliner Info

This is the largest model that Aliner makes, the Expedition. 18 feet long, 79 inches wide, weighs about 2100 lbs empty. She has a large storage box up front and folds up and down in 30-60 seconds, depending on your experience level. Two side storage compartments that are lockable and can be accessed from the inside as well. Check out a nice video of an Aliner in action here:Aliner in action The one in the video is just like ours, but has an extra center skylight on the front side.

Well not much to report on until we hit the road, ordered new Elixir skylight dome covers off Amazon last night, as ours are dry rotted. Also, a 30 amp to 15 amp converter plug, and another set of lashing straps for the kayaks to help better secure them on the Outlander racks at highway speeds. Really looking forward to getting on the road with the two Perception Illusions on the roof and the Aliner in tow.

Until then,

Todd
