Meramec State Park, Missouri

This is a nice park close to home, 1 hour. When I booked a spot Tuesday night the forecast for the weekend was good. The weather turned out to be a little soggy but we enjoyed the weekend . We wanted to get the camper out to check everything out and see if everything would work for us.

Carol & I both love the new bed.
We went from the smallest beds in an Aliner 76" X 46"
to one of the biggest beds of 76" X 76" .
A rare sighting, there was another Aliner at the campground. There are more of the Aliners around than I think.
Nice view of the river.
We are still trying to get everything organized and put where we want it. This is our third Aliner but each has a different floor plan and cabinets set up differently. But everything so far with this one is great.

New to us - 2006 Aliner Expedition


We sold the 2004 Aliner and bought a 2006 Aliner Expedition. We were going to buy a new Aliner but I saw this on on E-Bay and figured it would work and be a whole lot cheaper. Drove up to the Quad Cites- Iowa/Illinois and picked it up. According to the ad on E-Bay it was supposed to be in pristine condition. IT WAS NOT! I didn't consider our 2004 that we sold pristine but it was much better than this one. But, we liked the floor plan of this one and we knew we could make it all work.
We have had it here for 24 hours and Carol has scrubbed the inside top to bottom, we moved the spare tire up front, added a Swagman bike rack, installed a clothesline on the back bumper, added a stainglass stick up, installed a pleated shade over the cathedral window, installed a protective screen over the A/C unit, installed a wind kit, loaded it up for the next camping trip.

Aliner is off to the next owner

Our Aliner has went to the next owner.
We hope they enjoy it as much as we did.
Now, what are we going to do next??
