Class A Axis/Vegas

According to the Axis brochure the floor structure is OSB over steel framing.

ooops....I meant OSB

I was looking at this RV today as I am retiring in June and husband is already retired. We have a 21ft travel trailer but we are thinking about getting something a little bigger and easier to handle. The Axis seems to fit most of the things we are looking for. The only problem is that my husband is dead set against anything constructed with OSB. Can anyone tell me if the floor of the Axis is sob or plywood or composite?
Thank you

So I sent in my rental agreement for June. I am excited to try out RVing. I am also researching and trying to decide how I will get around once I park the RV. I didn't want to tow another vehicle, I was thinking about a scooter on the hitch. Do any CGs, especially around tourist sites, have shuttle services to sites? Or has anyone ever used taxi service to get into towns or to sites? Thanks for all your help.

Yes all of the above and it depends on the park and the season. Many CG's have a shuttle, a bus, car rental facilities, I doubt you could tow anything on a rental RV (they won't let you) and the hitch on the axis may not support a scooter nor will the rental comapany let you do that either. If you did and they didn't know and something breaks, that would be costly. Pick your destination call the CG and see what they have. Worst case rent a car for a few days once you get there. Often they'll come pick you up. You really do not want to be setting up camp, then unhooking everything and driving the RV to places only to have to set up camp again.

My mistake. I don't intend to tow or hitch a scooter to the rental I was referring down the line if I really do buy the Axis. Are there any to look at that would list CGs that have services?

Some CG's will show on their specific sites but you pretty much have to pick a destination. ANy place will have a car rental nearby. Pick where you want to go (general) and start a thread about the CG's there and the ammenities.

I've been looking at pictures of the Axis. I don't see any doors up front, is that correct. The only door is on the side. And how does the windows open I don't see anything on the inside to open windows

If you own an Axis/Vegas I highly suggest you open the engine compartment hood and if you can locate the most common of items to perform PM. Look for the oil dip stick, oil filler neck, trans dip stick, trans filler neck, engine air filter box and battery among other items. Locate them, touch them, remove and replace them. If your thinking of buying I strongly recommend you go to a dealer with one in stock and you do the same thing. After you accomplish my task respond back to my post and tell me what your impressions are.

So why are you only "hinting" at problems? Please just tell us your concerns regarding these motorhomes... Am I to assume that it's near impossible for one to get at common service items like oil and tranny dipsticks?....air filter etc?
I've also heard that it's very awkward to hook up to the black and grey tank drains on these as well?

It gets expensive when towing a vehicle as those axles are added on to the charge.
