Thumbs up New Aspen Trail on 3/22 2460RLS can't wait

We traded up our wonderful 2000 Sunline 2363 for a new 2016 Aspen Trail, can't wait to load her up and get it decorated inside. First trip will be to Lancaster PA. Hope no bugs or weebles to deal with once we take delivery. Looking for some fun yrs in the new hut!!!

Congratulations!! Welcome to the forum and enjoy your new TT. Don't worry about the bugs.. They all have them, we just keep stomping on them and eventually they go away... :-)

Happy Trails

Welcome to the forum!

I would have kept the Sunline.

They were a great trailer. We looked for a used one before we bought our Coleman, but didn't have much luck.

Thanks everyone!

Its hard to give the Sunline up, very special layout with sofa, swivel rocker, queen bed in rear lots of cabinet space. Got her in NJ and actually came home with it on the Cape May ferry 7 yrs ago. But 16 yrs is a long time and we wont see them again every built. Hope our new one keeps many happy camping days for us.

We just traded our 2460 RLS for a Thor Ace 30.1.
Had lots of good times in the 2460.
No issues at all with the 2460 great layout.
Enjoy!

It's EZ to tell if you have EZ lube axles. If the center cap has removable plastic cover and the dust cap on the hub has a plastic plug in it, pop the plugs off and you should be able to see a grease nipple.

Keep in mind that the wheels need to be off the ground to properly pack the bearings. As you apply the grease, the wheel needs to be turned so that all of the rollers get new lube. At the same time the end play in the bearings needs to be checked and adjusted if neccessary.

EZ lube hubs a not a replacement for an annual inspection and repack.
