Hi OFDPOS, We have a 2007 Aspect 26A. Believe it is exactly like the Cambria, except the Cambria has a few extras and different quality materials. It feels really solid driving down the road. We really like it. Our experience so far:
1. King pins on front wheels were loose and had to be replaced (dealer paid 1/2 cost of this). I think this is a Ford thing....with the way they did there front suspension.
2. So far the brakes have been great (much better than our previous motorhome that was on a the Chev chassis), but there have been a number of complaints about calipers. We just make sure we keep the wheels covered and it doesn't sit a long time.
3. Toilet - ol' yeller is right...it can be a tight fit. We moved the toilet paper holder (it was right between your knees) and added a handle (Home Depot) that makes it easier to stand up. I am about 6'4" and that was a big help. Probably not an issue for some one less tall.
4. Removed the Sony TV and installed a flat screen that can swing out so it is easier to view from the bed. Think some of our squeaks were due to that big heavy Sony tube type TV.
5. No leaks in our unit, I did see a Aspect 23D with a stain on the front passengers side. Inspected the roof and think the leak was from one of the running lights. Our roof looks solid...no problems. We check it about every six months just to be sure. Have inspected the nose cone connections and they have all been tight. However, there have been some reports of loose connections. That is the only Aspect/Cambria unique issue I am aware of.
6. On our 2007 the front cowling piece, basically a decoration, was wobbly. The rubber spacers were worn. So they were removed and some foam inserted.
7. If there is no air in the rear air bags the ride is a little harsh. Found that 70lbs makes things nice and comfortable.
8. Drivers seat: don't know how tall your are but the seat would not move back far enough for me (again think this is a Ford thing), so I raised it slightly and moved it back so I had more leg room.
9. Don't like the check valves on the hot water heater. Winnebago does this so its easier to winterize. But, makes it harder to regulate the hot water when taking a shower. Plan to remove them this Winter. This isn't specific to the Aspect/Cambria.
10. Rear corner bed; Not an issue for us. We have one of those travisack (sp) sleeping bag type things (queen size), takes me about 60 seconds to make the bed. We have a cover for the mattress that matches the interior decor and the travisack color is also complimentary so the bed looks good and is easy to make up. If you use sheets and blankets it might be a bit more difficult.
We have put about 15000 miles on it, 9000 in the last year on a loooong trip. It drives great, very comfortable. Love the smart transmission (think it was and upgrade in the 2006 year). Like the size, easy to drive in traffic.
Sorry about the long post...get a little long winded at times ;-).
If you get it ol' yeller and I can share information with you. You can PM me with any specific questions you might have.
P.S. Check that the heater/air conditioning controls work. After taking delivery we found ours would only work on defrost....mice had chewed through the air control tube. We were able to cut and splice to fix it but it took a while to find the problem. Mice do like those rubber tubes on the Ford.
