My wife and I we really like the twin bed setup and TV placement in the Axis. However, the driving experience was not pleasant. 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. It leaned excessively with each course correction. 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. Much more stable. 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.



I wonder if a Trac Bar, sway bars, Bilstein shocks and an alignment with extra caster would allow the Axis to drive like the Jayco Class C since its built on a similar E series chassis? Any ideas?

Not our experience at all!! Could also be a serious misalignment!! We drove ours over 500 hundred expressway miles in windy conditions with lots of tractor trailers, and it handled really well. We have had it out several times since then and still no issues! Hubby drove our large A for 12 years and much prefers the way the Axis drives!
