We just bought a used used Thor axis yesterday.. And I am so stressed out over all of the components and your video has helped me more than I can even express thank you so very much..

[@ThorMotorCoach]

Great to hear, thanks for the feedback. If anything else pops up, feel free to reach out. Safe travels - Steve

We just bought a 2023 Axis. How do you raise and lower the front shade/visor?

[@ferb1974]

This video is more detailed on the specifics on how to care for you RV. I like the detail. Thank you.

Steve I have watched this multiple times. I'm preparing to buy a new Vegas/Axis. You are the right guy to do what you do. You are a great spokesman for Thor. Grandpa Jack

[@damnyankee656]

What a great walk around video that tells prospective owners what and what not that they can do or expect with a Thor product such as this motor home. Most sales personnel only skim the surface and do not get into specifics. You do and thank you

[@jwielgus9836]

Most informative description of RVs operation yet! Thanks.

[@ThorMotorCoach]

Hi. Thanks for watching - Steve

[@philipdiehl9849]

Thanks Steve. I have learned so much from your videos. . I have watched several of them several times. I always learn more. Grandpa Jack

[@johnfoster5840]

Great job explaining everything you’re the first one that I was seeing on the RV that explains everything around vehicle make me wanna go buy one now I’m looking for one now thank you

[@ThorMotorCoach]

Thanks for watching John. - Steve

[@jiesongzhu7843]

We like the 24.1 Floor Plan a lot except one: the 2-person couch and TV. Nobody will sit there watching TV. It will be very uncomfortable. It will be very useful to use that as an office space with 42" TV/computer monitor retractable from a working bench against the wall. In the middle, there could be flip-up small bench as a dinning table like a T. With two chairs, the couple both have a table to work side-by-side, a TV to watch if sitting against the sink, or a small table for meal together if sitting face-to-face.

[@mattyjdyoutub]

Everyone has different needs. We love the couch and TV. Very comfortable.

[@janoswald5717]

Great video and very informative! Thanks!

[@davekirby7790]

can you buy from the factory directly and get the same care and information as you presented.....you were great and truthful thanks

[@georgedoolittle9015]

Be interesting to know if there are customization options prior to build. Huge fan of the absolutely awesome play on an otherwise terrifying market segment at the moment.

[@josephnapier8836]

[@cmharris67]

Really like the 24.1 but with a more raised bedroom and open the back storage into a bike garage. Like Coachmen Crosstrek.

[@eddiehernandez7212]

Enjoyed the video. Very informative. It helps us with our decision on what type of RV to choose from. We like the B+ models because the wife feels she would be more comfortable driving something smaller but this RV might change her mind. I would like to see you add a check list to your paperwork because it would be helpful for first time rv'ers.

[@dalegribble60]

We moved from a Class B van to this model. It may seem a little intimidating at first but I find it just as easy to navigate. Feels big but drives small. Good luck!

[@toddwhited4833]

Nice motorhome I have been waiting to buy a new one ,if it had a fuel-efficient engine(not Mercedes) I would buy one today

[@briangrishaber2543]

Great video. A Ford diesel needs to be at least an option.

[@howardferguson4093]

The 24.3 is an awesome looking rig. Steve's hilarious. 47:00 to 47:42. Make like a bear in the woods. :D

[@chesleyrenater6158]

Thor Freedom Traveler a27 needs details like this :-)

When is Thor motorcoach going to make a axis with the twin beds in The back and a dinette

2015-2017 has the twins in the back

[@gerardgraham9959]

Informative video, nice rig...now if I could just find one to buy!!

[@TomDavisVideo]

Almost bought the 24.3 at Tampa last week. I need the E450 though... I need cargo allowance for my endeavors

[@williamgiesecke6447]

I always wonder why does all RVs are the same color and all with stripes .. The Vegas/Axis would be more appealing if they had some more interesting colors that made them stand out and no graphics also real aluminum wheel options..,Just a thought.. I really love this RV can’t wait to get one

[@KU9L]

Thor is called continuing to step up their game, since your main competitor for this class is discontinuing their class A entry-level clone of this series, I think it is time to give Thor another look as I think that 24.3 might be a perfect match for grandparents who spend 8-9 months a year on the road visiting national & state parks with a half dozen stops to renew our grandbaby love exchange.

[@carlossais7602]

Could you send me some pictures Thor Vegas 25.2? Thank you.

[@carlossais7602]

I am looking into buy one in the near future

[@dalegribble60]

We are enjoying our new used 2019 Vegas. Only thing I'm not crazy about are oil changes and battery access. But in all fairness, it's the standard E350 chassis...they just built around it. At LEAST it can be accessed by removing the flip out work table....still a bit of a pain.

[@vincentyedlin9453]

I love the 25.7 floorplan but not sure how you'd make the bed 😬

[@NtenseEVO]

Does the armless awning have to be used fully extended every time? Or can it be used 1/2 open if there isn’t enough space to fully extend it!

[@kal7049]

@Thor Motor Coach What are the differences between the Axis and Vegas other than the front headlights?

[@zillionzulu]

i wonder if it can modify to 4x4, 6 inches higher and bigger wheel

[@kevinswinyer3176]

With all the features this Motorhome has built in, my question is how do these features affect the overall sale price of the Motorhome ? What is the Sale Price of the Motorhome ?

[@ThorMotorCoach]

Hi Kevin. We sell the rv to the dealer and the dealer sets their price. Thanks for the question - Steve

[@geneseminoleranger7773]

Would you recommend a lift kit due to low profile ?

I didn’t see a description of the main bedroom in back.

[@jameshaviland2465]

How do I learn which RV might be the best RV for me to consider living in?

[@ThorMotorCoach]

Hi James. we have a team here at the factory dedicated to talking through the options, features and floor plans to help people in the looking phase to find the right fit for them. They can even help you locate models on dealers lots so you can go see them for yourself. Reach out to our Coach Link team here www.thormotorcoach.com/sales-advisor/ - Thanks. - Steve

Hi is the axis or Vegas available with adaptive cruise control automatic emergency braking or Lane keeping assist thanks Todd

[@ThorMotorCoach]

Hi Todd. Ford does not offer those features on the E-350 stripped chassis the Axis and Vegas are built on. Thanks for the question - Steve

[@toddwhited4833]

@@ThorMotorCoach that is disappointing news maybe the 2022 models will have all the new safety features . All new Honda vehicles come with those features standard

[@williamgiesecke6447]

I wonder could you use this Coach as a daily driver and would it hold it together?? Interesting 🤔 I think it’s small enough to fit in most places

[@ThorMotorCoach]

Having spent more than a week with a family of four in a Vegas, you can use it to get you just about anywhere. It's what we did and it worked great. It is small enough to park on the street, granted you take up two and a half spaces and you can run it to the store and just about anywhere else. Drive-thrus are not big enough and at some places you have to park way out and walk as you can't fit in regular parking spots. We took it everywhere we wanted to go and you just adjust. Thanks for the question. - Steve

[@williamgiesecke6447]

@@ThorMotorCoach Thank you Steve !! If you think about it to have to park it far away it’s not always bad it good it helps you to get in shape..

[@therealvidkid]

That flip out should be a slide out with two detent positions (Fat or skinny); seriously….smile

[@williambee7368]

My Question.. Is that passenger side door the Only Way to get in and get out of the RV? 😳 because if someone accidentally hit that side of your unit. One is either Stuck Inside or OUT. Where is the Emergency Exit? 🤔

In the back over the generator. The window is a break free emergency window

Chassis battery is under the steps?

[@grego3762]

It doesn't look like it has been moved. The videos I've seen show people cutting a hole in the dash board under the flip out tray to get to the chassis battery and get to the fill tube for the oil. I hope that's changed. Can't find one to see for myself.

do these get more than 5 miles a gallon?

Hi

[@gailwalton5779]

I already don't like that access to the motor and the front is too low to the ground....

[@rambalram2610]

Exposed portable water tank fill and exposed gasoline tank fill are a security risk. They should have avoided doing it this way. People leave motorhome and goes for hikes many a times. So tanks must be properly secured.
