Looking to go bigger
Now that we are fully retired, Jan and I are seriously considering moving up to a bigger travel trailer. Our 2006 276SR may well be for sale in the near future. Two neat items that would be included are the Sunline snow globe and the Sunline spare tire cover that was stored as soon as we got it home the first time. Also to go with it will be a full set of 4 brake assembly sets ready to bolt on and hook the wiring to. Spare wheel bearings too. I was always prepared.
We love this unit and it has served us well, but want to do some serious traveling now and need bigger for Jan's quilting and my misc stuff.
Will post as soon as we decide some things.

I wouldn't sell the extras if it isn't to a club member or someone who cares about what they have. Unfortunately interested owners are a rarity.

Good idea. The snow globe and spare tire cover will go to a club member. The wheel kits too but they should be readily available.
I also have a 1998 Sunline brochure. I got that when we visited the plant.

There is an interest here in the wheel cover and globe.

I would be interested in the brake assemblies and wheel bearings for our 2007 276SR if you decide to seperate them from the camper deal.

I feel your pain. We knew we'd miss the T-1950 but couldn't live in it for any length of time traveling. Love the new 5th wheel, it's size, towability, and 45 gal holding tanks. A few parts and we are still in the club.

Went to Lovell's RV about 4 miles north of us to look at Cougars. Got there and the lot was completely empty except for a few old hulks that must have been taken in trade. They are being taken over by Camping World which will be open in a few months.

Paul, if you come over to RV Wholesalers, let me know. We camp at Indian Lake State park which is about 10 minutes from their dealership. Maybe we can hook up. I have seen many folks who just bought a new camper from them spend their 1st night at the park to head out the next day.
Last fall in October they must of had 400 plus campers on his lot. Heck it may have been over 600... Man did he have inventory.

RVCapitalWholesalers.com is where I bought my Heartland Big Horn (Elkhart, IN). They crushed the price that RVWholesalers offered at that time. Might be worth checking out. They also do business as Great Lakes RV.
