Aliner A-frame camper

 Thank you that's good to know we pass a Bass Pro Shop just south of Chattanooga Tn. Yes folded down is only about 62" high it rides easily behind our Santa Fe Sport which is 66" high which helps us to get over 20 MPG.

 I answered my first question how it would be to stay in a rest area with a Aliner or A-frame camper. We left Tennessee Monday morning for central Florida and spent one night in a rest area with our Aliner and everything went great. The Aliner sets up in a minute and folds up in a minute and has not that bad of sound insulation. It's very easy to tow and we were averaging 23 mpg on the way down. As far as space  well it's a little crowded with limited floor space but has a fair amount of storage space. It comes with a 3,000 pound axle and weighing about 1,300 pounds that leaves 1,700 pounds of cargo capacity more than anybody would ever use. It's different from our past R-Pod 171 but I think the biggest advantage is that's easy to tow with our compact SUV Santa Fe Sport 2.4 engine.

I think it is all perception and a case by case basis. I know when we are traveling and just trying to get from point A to point B, we try to keep our parking lot and rest area stays less conspicuous; no awnings down, camp chairs out. With an Aliner or pop-up fully deployed, it looks like you are there for the duration. Just my thoughts.

Has anyone ever seen a Aliner or A-frame camper set up staying overnight in a rest area where allowed? We are thinking about a Aliner for traveling from Tennessee to Florida and stopping at a rest area on our way. One time I remember a Aliner set up in a rest area during the daytime I think they were having lunch. With our other campers we stayed overnight in rest areas all the time but not sure how it would be in a A-frame camper. Thank you
