Thor Axis 24.1 Owner/Driver Experiences
I'm another newbie seriously considering one of these. I note the comments to date concerning apparent difficulty in accessing/checking/filling engine fluids, battery, drains, etc. Also some issues ...

Would definitely purchase ours again!!
Much of owning a new coach seems to depend on ones attitude when confronted with factory quality control issues. All brands seem to have them and ours has been no different. Thor has stood behind any issues we have had, so we are very pleased with their customer service.
Love the floorplan, length, and width. It just works for us!! The oversized king bed in that length is the best we've seen!! Also much prefer to eat at the two front seats facing each other with the table between them. We are just not dinette people!
Do not like the size of the shower or the sewer connection being under the slide. However, it is easy to run the slide in when it is time to dump.
Several of the front cab ac problems, including ours, seem to be caused by no refrigerant in the system. While our dealership could not find the problem, our great tech did, and Thor paid to fix it.
With regards to drive ability issues we have had none. Ours has driven great from day one. From what I have heard, and seen on here, any issues seem to occur straight from the dealership. Most likely tire pressure or an easily fixed alignment issue
We had a dud windshield washer pump motor. Caused our wipers to blow a fuse when we tried to use the washer. Was irritating to lose our wipers on a rainy trip, but it is fixed now and no more issues!
As I said, an overall good experience for our first 6 months of ownership.
