MOUNT PLEASANT, Pa., Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Aliner, America’s original A-frame camper manufacturer, is bringing back one of its most requested models. After nearly a decade out of production, the Alite is making its highly anticipated return as part of the company’s 2027 model lineup, combining the simplicity campers loved with thoughtful updates for today’s adventurers.

The reimagined Alite will make its consumer debut at America’s Largest RV Show in Hershey, Pennsylvania, this week where campers will get their first opportunity to experience the newest addition to the Aliner family with Beckley’s RV.

Originally introduced as an ultra-lightweight, easy-to-own camper, the Alite quickly developed a loyal following. Even after production ended, dealers and customers continued asking the same question: “When is the Alite coming back?” For nearly a decade, that enthusiasm never faded.

For 2027, Aliner is proud to answer that question.

“The Alite has always held a special place in the hearts of our customers,”said Brett Randall, President and CEO of Aliner. “For years we’ve heard from owners, dealers, and camping enthusiasts asking us to bring it back. And we listened. The new Alite honors everything people loved about the original while delivering the quality, craftsmanship, and innovation today’s campers expect from Aliner.”

The 2027 Alite is the lightest and most compact hard-sided camper in Aliner’s lineup weighing in at just 672 pounds. Measuring just 11 feet in overall length with an impressive 80-inch interior peak height, it offers an inviting interior while remaining under 700 pounds and easy to tow.

Designed for first-time buyers, weekend travelers, solo adventurers, and couples seeking uncomplicated escapes, the Alite features a comfortable 58″ x 76″ sleeping area, versatile roadside and curbside bench seating, and 2.7 cubic feet of exterior front storage for gear and essentials. Like every Aliner, it features the company’s iconic hard-sided A-frame design, legendary 30-second setup, and the durability that has made the brand a trusted name in camping for more than 40 years.

Its lightweight construction allows it to be towed by essentially all vehicles, making camping more accessible than ever while maintaining the comfort, security, and convenience that define the Aliner experience.

“The return of the Alite is about more than bringing back a camper—it’s about bringing back an experience that so many people have been asking for,” said Jana Randall, Chief Marketing Officer of Aliner. “Seeing it return for 2027 is incredibly exciting because it reflects exactly who we are as a company— we listen to our customers, we honor our heritage, and we continue to innovate for the next generation of campers. We can’t wait to unveil the new Alite at Hershey with Beckley’s RV and watch a whole new audience fall in love with this iconic model.”

Visitors to the Hershey RV Show will be the first consumers to step inside the new Alite, explore its features, and see why one of Aliner’s most beloved campers is making its long-awaited return.

The 2027 Alite will be available through Aliner’s nationwide dealer network this winter following its debut.
