Easy to drive, this rig isn't. I test drove one yesterday and this thing wandered all over the road. I drove it for about 10 miles on the interstate at 62 mph in moderate winds and had to constantly correct right and left. And I didn't have a single tractor trailer pass me. My wife drove the 10 miles back and she completely agreed. We then test drove a new Jayco 31' Class C on the same stretch of road and it was a breeze to drive. Very little correction necessary. Would be much less stressful to drive. So much so that the wife said an absolute "no" to the Axis and a "yes" to the Class C.
Which is disappointing because we really like the twin bed setup and TV placement in the Axis! I wonder if a Trac Bar, sway bars, Bilstein shocks and an alignment with extra caster (this is an E350 after all) would allow the Axis to drive like the Jayco Class C?
