I've been researching smaller camping trailers for more than a year. I looked at all of the Little Guy models, NestEgg Trailers, Happier Camper, Aliners and more...
Jason, Allen, Andy and the guys in the shop at Tom's Camperland were fantastic. They answered all of my questions and I never felt pressured to make a purchase. I wanted a light weight trailer that my wife and I could use as we transitioned from tent camping to a trailer. After much research I decided to get the 2017 Columbia Northwest Aliner Scout Lite. I wanted a simple setup and the ability to use the camping gear that I found most useful after 40 years of tent camping. To give you an idea of how serious we are about our camping, we took our two children on a five week tent camping trip to celebrate our 25th anniversary. While the kids were growing up we camped in many of the western National Parks and we spent time at Rocky Mountain National Park almost every summer.
After we decided on the Aliner Scout Lite, Allen quoted me a very fair price that I found was about $2500 less than the local dealers in Northern Colorado. We negotiated a few items and I made the purchase over the phone and drove to the Mesa, AZ Tom's Camperland location to pick up the Aliner.
Working with the guys at Tom's was a great decision and we look forward to many nights enjoying the Aliner.
