I want to add a AM/FM/CD radio to our Classic. I know, I know someone needs to drag me into the 21st century, but I like free music and information when we don’t have a cell signal. We have stumbled on some great stations on FM and AM out in the middle of nowhere. I can’t find any current information on AM/FM antennas. I would prefer not making holes in the exterior of the camper but performance is important in the boondocks. Any suggestions? Old dinosaur, JoeS

Greetings. I bought a used 2022 Ranger 10, which I now believe could not have been used much, if at all, based on lack of wear in places that then wore heavily during our first outing. For example, the curtain on the kitchen side is pressed against the propane stove cover, resulting in a hole being worn in the curtain during our first excursion - although the standoffs are in place and firmly seated as they should be. (We put a towel over the stove cover, and this stopped the abrasion. But there shouldn't have been abrasion in the first place, that's the whole point of those standoffs on each side). Aluminum side rails have abrasion wear as well, where there wasn't any when I did the walkthrough. The windows in both sides keep vibrating open during travel, the thumb latch seems to rock loose as a result of road vibration. We discovered the door side was actually resting *on* the kitchen side window, so we added a silicone trivet to protect the window from damage or breakage. Aliner has been less than helpful, and the RV seller didn't receive all the owner and appliance manuals from the original owner. Pages of the owner's manual - like the wiring diagram - are missing outright. It was, of course, an as-is sale, and everything *appeared* to work correctly during our walkthrough. We set out on our first trip with a full new battery. On the third day, we had a dead battery. Took it straight to a great RV place, and they found the following: The ICECO Go20 12V fridge had been wired into the 15A circuit for the interior LED lights and Fantastic Fan. All connections within our tow vehicle were working fine, all connections at the 7-pin were working fine. After my begging, Aliner finally read me the circuits for the converter. They also confirmed the ICECO was original equipment on my model - and that it should have been on a different circuit. I had the RV place rewire the fridge circuit accordingly. After doing so, they ran some additional tests and the ICECO just repeatedly tripped the breaker they'd installed. So they pulled it out for bench-testing. On the bench, it *melted* the 10A socket and wiring (it's supposed to draw a peak of 5A). This seems out of character for ICECO, none of the reviews mentioned any issues like this. Aliner then informed us that the battery *cannot* charge though either the 7-pin or shore power because it requires higher voltage (over 14V) than either is designed to supply. They say that's why the battery was not recharging either during driving for 10+ hours/day or being on 30A shore power for 12+ hr nights. This seems like a ginormous design flaw to me, but I haven't found any good, simple guides to what it *should* be to work as-is. The RV electrician agrees that the battery should be able to charge correctly off either shore power or our TV through the 7-pin. Does anyone have a 2022 Ranger 10 dual-bunk wiring diagram to share, please? Has anyone else run into similar issues on post-2020 models? (The RV electrician we took it to seems to think there was a build quality drop post-pandemic.) I bought an Aliner because so many people buy them and keep them for years of use. The reviews were almost universally raves. I am, as you might imagine, deeply disappointed in the reality. Thanks kindly for any useful input or suggestions.

Can an Aliner in the up position be transported on a rollback, (flatbed) trailer without damage to the walls? Can't lower the walls without damage to a weak spring support (wood)

Your tow vehicle can be a great generator in most cases. It’s quiet, gas friendly and doesn’t require lugging gas cans or watchfulness during operation. You would need a length of very heavy wire, such as a jumper cable set, and a connection to a DC-DC converter which is connected to your battery. All told, this DIY conversion might cost $250, a far cry from the cost of a generator. Typically this set up is most efficient during bulk charge, while the camper battery is 60% - 80% of full charge. I can run my TV for an hour and boost the battery SoC from 60% to 85%. Meantime, the TV is just idling, not very noisy, and uses less than 0.5 gallons of fuel for the charge. Dave ……………………. I personally hate running a generator.

We are new Aliner owners and have a 2023 Aliner Evolution that has an external mount for an outside two burner propane stove and a propane hookup for this stove. Does Aliner make their own propane stove? We have not been able to find any information! Any input appreciated!

We have been looking to find a way to transport our two e-bikes that weigh 77 pounds each while we are pulling our Aliner Family Expedition. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Nate and Karon

I used compressed air to blow out the spider webs from both of the condensate drains. Now all but maybe a couple of drops comes out of the driver side drain. I believe that the drain area was somewhat blocked and causing the water to reach the other drain and spill out of the box. I emailed Aliner and asked about removing the unit cover to properly clean the inside and they said I “might” be able to remove the cover with the unit still installed in the camper but didn’t recommend that I do. When the a/c season is about done I my try to get in there but I don’t want to do something stupid while we still need it. JoeS

Twice we have found water under the rug (rubber backed heavy duty entry carpet) in front of where the a/c vents are when the a/c has been going for a while. Could this be condensation? What can we do about it? Insulate the floor? All the cupboards around this area are dry. JoeS

2022 Aliner Ranger 10 dual bunk model. I noticed daylight between the two pieces of the roof where they meet at the peak. The sidewalls raise up and lock in without malfunction - no scraping, no gapping as far as I can see, they just fit into place fine. But from about 3-4 inches in from each peak corner, there's an apparent curvature to the peak edges of one or the other or both roof pieces. What causes this and how can I correct it? The weather stripping appears undamaged, and the "daylight" that's visible appears filtered through something white/pale, which I assume is some kind of overhang/rain shield? But I'm concerned the peak edge is no longer watertight. Thanks!

It was hot enough that I actually thought it was incandescent - until I took off the cover and discovered it was an LED plate. The light I'm talking about is the amber oval outside the door to the lower left. It has a rocker switch on the underside. Should I be concerned that there's too much resistance and it's a fire hazard, or what can I do to ensure it's not having some kind of issue? Thanks!

I want to change out my incandescent bulbs to LED's in my clearance and porch lights, and I suppose the tail lights. Those are not the C194's. I know it's been done, but not sure if there is anything I should, or should not get. There are plenty of options on Amazon.

After being away from home for a few days (not camping), I came back and noticed an electrical cable hanging down from our 2012 Aliner Classic. When I went outside I saw knaw marks on the cable, meaning probably squirrels sharpening their teeth. My local car mechanic also has worked on electical problems with my Aliner and other RVS and has an Airstream for camping. I told the car mechanic that I would buy the replacement cable and just wondering where to purchase it, locally, or by mail order (I live 40 miles west of Detroit)? On the "chewed" cable it is stamped "14/2 SAE 19/27 D23 PVC 60C Jacketed Brake Cable". Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! Bob Krzewinski - Ypsilanti MI

Hi all, several members have mentioned that Susan Orgeron makes covers for Aliner air conditioners that stick out on the side. Mine is a 2014 Aliner Ranger 12, but it no longer has the stock AC unit, but a slightly bigger LG 6k btu unit. Can anyone please put me in touch with Susan? Can't figure out a way to search members on here or directly message her. I'd like to get it covered before we leave on a long road trip on July 19th. Thank you!!

Has anyone installed a rear view camera? If so, how difficult is it to hardwire it to provide power? Where do you put the monitor? Can it be fastened to the rear view mirror - that would be a great place since the mirror is not useful when towing. Thanks, Don Knabb
