For Sale: 2013 Aliner Scout Camper Trailer - $6,900

You Can Tow This Little RV With Almost Any Vehicle

It is time for us to bid adieu to our 2013 Aliner Scout. This has been a real adventure for us. It was our first RV; we poured ourselves into it with gusto. Now we’re selling it for $6,900.

A bit over a year ago, we paid $6,300 for it.

We’ve added $4,000 worth of solar power infrastructure featuring 500 watts of solar panels and a 2.5 kWh battery similar to this one. The centerpiece of the system is a 2 kW Victron Energy inverter. The system also includes a variety of other components, including a charge controller, battery monitor, breakers, switches, cables, etc.

The solar equipment generates enough power to run everything in the trailer, including the a/c (when it’s working). Everything. That said, if you do that, it won’t charge the battery, so you’ll have no power at night. We like to plan activities outside during the day, so we use only the power required for the fridge and charge the batteries so we can have light and such all evening.

In addition, we put new tires on and cleaned it up. Sadly, the $169 a/c unit is not working.

The rig features two large beds, roughly an oversize twin bed and one approaching a queen-size bed. Both convert to tables and benches. In that configuration, you could comfortably seat eight people around the tables. (But that would be crazy!)

The RV has a little refrigerator that works great. We’ve added a child lock to prevent it from opening in transit (a lesson we learned the hard way).

The camper also features a little sink. Without tanks of any sort, the water only works when connected to a campground supply.

So, let’s talk about the lack of tanks. There’s no toilet. No shower. But that means the trailer, which weighs about 1500 pounds, is so light you can tow it with almost any vehicle. We tow it with a 2017 Chevy Bolt EV!

With our EV, we took the RV on a 1,000-mile journey up the Southeast Atlantic Coast last year. Where will you take it?

We’ll include the hoses, wheel chocks, water filter, water pressure regulator and even the trailer dolly we use to pull the trailer in and out of our garage.
