7000 km towing mini camper

Nice. Just something to stay dry and off the ground.
I once had a Coleman Colorado that performed the same function although it had dinette and could sleep four.. Was bare bones but soft top ten trailer.

Just got back from a trip towing our mini camper from just outside of Toronto to Edmonton Alberta. The camper is light and the truck was amazing. Our longest day was 15 hours of driving: Thunder Bay ON back home to just west of Milton. We hit MI, MN, WI, ND, SK, MB and AB. We clipped along mostly 70 mph: 4250 miles = 25.3 mpg (6844 km = 9.3L/100km). Added another 1000 km on bikes .. up through the Rockies.

I would love to get one of the bigger A-Liners that has the collapsing wet bath (LXE, I believe) and hearing you still got 25mpg with yours makes it seem VERY enticing to go the A-Liner route instead of a more traditional camper.

Granted your a-lite is about half the weight as the LXE, but nonetheless the fuel economy should still be pretty impressive I'd think.

Happy travels, great pics!

Correct! It's a '96 Aliner "A-Lite". It's like a bed on wheels as we don't really use the table etc. But it pops up and closes down in a couple of minutes and is so light that you can easily wheel it around by hand. My wife did a fair bit of work on it - mostly cosmetic..changing out rusty fasteners and digging out old caulking. The bed is great - queen size and surprisingly comfortable.

so I can tow it with my Ford Maverick 2023 Hybrid? ty
