We are proud to carry the industry’s most respected manufacturers in this category. Our inventory focuses heavily on Aliner A-Frame trailers, the original brand that revolutionized the pop-up market.

By stocking these innovative models, we offer our customers the ability to camp in cooler weather and set up camp in under 60 seconds, all without needing a heavy-duty truck.

Why Buy Your A-Frame from Bella Vista RV Centre?

Choosing where to buy your RV is just as important as choosing the RV itself. At Bella Vista RV, we specialize in towables that suit the Ontario landscape. Because A-Frame trailers utilize unique folding mechanisms and high-wall designs, you need a dealership with a service department that understands how to maintain them. Our team in Oro-Medonte provides expert walk-throughs to ensure you are comfortable with the setup process before you leave the lot. Plus, our location on Highway 11 makes us the easiest stop for service and parts on your way up to Algonquin or Killbear Provincial Parks.

Shop A-Frames by Popular Floorplan Features

A-Frame trailers pack an incredible amount of utility into a compact footprint, but floorplans vary significantly. When browsing our inventory, consider which interior features matter most to you. We stock models featuring Dormers which significantly increase headroom and interior volume. You can also look for units equipped with Wet Baths and showers, allowing for total independence from campground facilities. For those who love to cook, look for our floorplans featuring permanent Indoor Kitchens with ample counter space, distinct from the sleeping areas.

Ideally Suited for the Boondocking Lifestyle

The A-Frame isn't just a camper; it is a ticket to off-grid freedom. These trailers are favourites among the Overland and Boondocking community because of their low center of gravity and rugged construction. Unlike canvas pop-ups, the hard walls provide better sound insulation and security against wildlife, making them excellent choices for deep-woods camping. If your travel plans involve unserviced sites or crown land camping, an A-Frame offers the perfect balance of comfort and rugged capability.

Towing Guides: Shop by Weight

One of the primary reasons our customers in Barrie choose A-Frame trailers is towability. You generally do not need a pickup truck to tow these units. We have categorized our inventory to help you shop based on your vehicle's capabilities.

Under 2,000 lbs: Many of our Aliner models feature dry weights well under 2,000 lbs, making them towable by many compact SUVs like the Subaru Forester, Toyota RAV4, or Ford Escape.
Low Tongue Weight: These trailers are designed to be balanced, putting less strain on your vehicle's suspension compared to traditional travel trailers.
Aerodynamic Profile: The folded "A" shape reduces wind drag significantly, improving your fuel economy during long trips.

Frequently Asked Questions About A-Frame Trailers

How long does it take to set up an A-Frame trailer? One of the biggest advantages of an A-Frame is the setup speed. Most models, including the Aliner units we stock, can be fully set up in roughly 30 to 60 seconds. There are no hand cranks or canvas to struggle with; the roof utilizes high-tension springs or gas struts to lift easily, and the walls lock into place instantly.

Are A-Frame trailers warm enough for fall camping in Ontario? Yes. Because they use hard-sided composite walls rather than canvas, they offer significantly better insulation (R-value) than a tent trailer. This makes them excellent "3-season plus" campers, allowing you to extend your camping season into the early spring and late autumn months comfortably.

Can I store an A-Frame trailer in my garage? In most cases, yes. When folded down, A-Frame trailers have a very low profile. Most standard residential garages in Barrie and the surrounding area can easily accommodate an A-Frame, saving you money on off-site winter storage fees and protecting your investment from the elements.
