    We bought a 2020 Aliner Ranger and have absolutely loved it. We have travel all over the west the past four years and thousands of miles. Easy to tow and you can camp and go just about anywhere. Still loving it. Getting ready to travel out west again in September to Yellowstone. Highly recommend the Aliner.

    Good to see how the Ranger 12 has been refined over the years. My 2013 Ranger 12 has given me good service over the years pulling it to the southern Appalachians and the western Rockies from the southeast. My western trips involve a lot of backcountry travel on 4WD roads and I've never had any issues as long as I take it slow on the really rough, rocky sections of those forest service roads. Keep an eye on your spare tire mount though. The plate that attaches the carrier to the rear bumper cracked on mine and the vibration caused the spare tire to damage the rear of the trailer. Overall though, I've gotten good service from the Ranger. Hope you do too with yours.

      Hi there! Thank you. It just goes on one side - it’s just one bar. We’ve only ever towed with it. The dealer recommended it. We’ve driven all over the U.S. and in all kinds of weather - we like having it 👍 Gives us peace of mind.

      Hi there. Thanks for watching. We use the padding it came with and added a 3” topper and we still have to take our pillows off to lower the camper. It will lower with the 3” topper on. I’d take some measurements before buying a new mattress. I hope this helps you.

    • @thehappinessfunction
      @thehappinessfunction  Год назад +2

      Hey there - Thanks for the question. It can get some condensation at the peak. We wipe it down in the morning with a towel or paper towel. We also try to keep the fan at the top open to help with that unless it’s super cold. But I think the big thing is just staying on top of it (wiping it off). We haven’t had any issues with leaks at all. We’ve camped in the pouring rain. Hope that helps. Just bring something to wipe it down and you should be good 👍 Happy camping!
