Frequently asked
Why is the Aspen's 84 gal black tank so large?

How does sleeps-10 actually work?
Main bedroom (2) + bunkhouse 4 bunks (4) + dinette conversion (2) + jackknife sofa (2) = 10. Realistic for a weekend with extended family; tight for week-long. Some buyers convert one bunk to cargo, sleeping 8 comfortably.
