Winnebago Aspect 27k

I should have said low generator hours are bad only in the gas generators. Carb get gunked up if not exercised at least 1 hr every 30 days.

Low generator hours show that proper maintenance wasn't followed on the Genny. My Onan 4 manual says to exercise the genny under a load for 2 hours every month to keep the engine healthy and the slip rings inside the generator from becoming dirty or corroded. Gennys were built to run long hours so exercise keeps them in top shape. To compute just figure how many months the RV has been in service and then multiply by 2. That should tell you the appropriate hours for the age of the RV. A genny that sits will be hard to start because of fuel evaporation in the carb in addition to the slip ring problem.

We also love our Aspect but would consider upgrading to the 27K if a pile of money should drop out of the sky in our direction.

Dick thanks for the info.I think I already know what the answer is,but why are low generator hours bad.And to Avan.Besides are 35 an 40 footers which are powered by Cummings ISL's and Detroit 50 series.The public transit company I worked for also had a fleet para transit cutaways powered by the ford triton v-10 triton.A few years back,ford was having some issues with it blowing spark plugs wright out of the heads.Ford came up with a tool to repair the threads without having to pull the cyl.heads.Are company bought the tool,but we've never had to use it.But we are starting to have head problems at around 90k miles or so.We aren't exactly sure why,but we're guessing it might have to do with the direct injection.But with that said,you have to remember that around Bay Area here it's all hills. So the miles are hard hard miles which is brutal on the power train,that you don't see under normal driving conditions.So I wouldn't be concerned about it.The question I have for you is,what kind of gas mileage are you getting when your pulling a towed.

Check the NADA guides and start your offer at or below low retail without any options added. Check out www.winnebagoind.com in resources for brochures, and once you buy a Winnie or Itasca you can do a second owner registration and get needed wiring and plumbing diagrams and if not provided owners manuals and check out the WIT club. Winnie class Cs are great. Low generator hours is not a good thing. Dick

Aspect twin in Itasca is Cambria

I can walk easily throughout with the slides in and I only have 2 drawers that are inaccessible when the slides are in - not a problem since I use those drawers only for rarely used items. Not having a walk around bed would get pretty old if using the RV for a long while. I've only got 30,000 miles on the V10 but it seems like a great engine. Hopefully pulling cyl. heads is not in the foreseeable future for my rig but if it is, I wouldn't be doing it anyway and I presume Ford dealers/mechanics would be competitive even if the work isn't fun. I've heard some expensive diesel expenses too.

Thanks for the responses.The reasons we liked the Aspect were that we wanted a full size walk around queen bed.My wife also loved the bathroom an kitchen layout.Also we did not want the overhead sleeper above the cab.She also was happy with all storage space inside the RV.I loved the outside rear storage area for storing our dogs x-pens and grooming table.Most of the units we looked at didn't come close to the aspect in storage space for larger items.As far a tow,it would probably be a 2010 Honda Fit on a tow dolly.Eventhough I would have preferred to see the Mercedes Diesel engine over the triton v-10(I have worked on the v-10 in the E-450 van, and they are not fun when you have to pull the cyl. Heads) It is what is.As far as getting an out of state RV reg. In California.I think because of the GVW,it would be o.k.(but I will check into that to make sure.)Since I only went inside when the slides were out,can you walk through to the rear with the slides in?

We owned an Aspect, 2008, really liked it. Full time in it, 2 of us and one spaniel. Well built, would certainly have another. Towed a Fiat or could unhook it and go for day trips.

I have a 30' Aspect triple slide. Though I travel alone now, my wife and I full timed (5ver) for nearly 15 yrs so I am familiar with what space we needed as a couple for comfortable living. I would be very comfortable living in my unit with 2 people. I do not have pets so cannot express my opinion on what kind of space they might require on an extended basis. I find my Aspect to be very well built and and the owner manuals provided are the most extensive of any that I've seen.

Just a little info. When I moved to California 4 years ago I brought a 2005 pickup into the state and it cost me 2 grand to meet Californias requirements. I couldnt even find a mechanic to to do the inspection on it until i spent 1200 on the exhaust system. The truck was bone stock and in 2005 it would meet all Californias requirements. So be very careful buying out of state if you plan to register it in California. Good luck with the hunt, we are also heading in the small "C" direction. Just sold the 5th wheel.

Looks Ok I did a little search and found several in your years from about low $70's to low $80's asking price. For me I like my 31 minni winni and put 30-40 grand in my pocket. Are you going to have a towed? If not smaller might be better although I haven't had a problem with a spot or towing.
