Thanks, saw that one on their website.

Trying to avoid a 550 mile drive just to see if one should go on the short list.

Probably get a lot more candid comments from current owners than from a salesman anyway!

We have a 2008 Aspect 26A but are way too far for you to come visit. Things I love are the light especially with side windows in the slide, the comfort of the curved dinette, the legroom when driving because the slide isn't against the driver's seat, The overall quality, the fiberglass roof, and the slide out pantry. It drives and handles well especially with the rear air bags.

Things I don't like are the awkward toilet, the small shower, the lack of storage for the sewer hose and the difficulty in taking down and resetting the table (I think that was 1 year only).

We were willing to overlook the shortcomings for the greater good. Some folks hate a corner bed but we find it very cozy and comfortable especially for just us 2. Ours had every option including full body paint. The only one missing was leveling jacks which we haven't missed.

Be sure to walk the roof and check the top of the front cap and the curve where the sides meet the roof for clear coat peeling, especially in warmer climates. They seemed to fix this mostly by 2008 but mine has some peeling due to being originally from AZ.

Nice thing about an Owner is maybe s/he has weighed it. We had a case awhile ago, and I remember it was a Winnie product, just don't remember the model, that the owner couldn't get to handle right. The wheelbase was so short, couldn't get enough weight to the front axle.

Looking at Wheelbase-to-Length gives you a cut at what weight transfer from heavy rear to light front might be, but I think actual scale weights'd be more telling.

Anyone in the Houston area?
