Thor Axis/Vegas owner's I have few questions.
I've read all the threads on the axis/vegas but still have a few questions. I might be buying tomorrow. How do you dump the tanks? The dump valve is pointing upwards and it seems like it wouldn't e...

Thor would be smart if they developed a DVD on the very detailed use of the Vegas motor home. As most dealers have no clue when it comes to salesman doing a walk through. In the 2015 Vegas the galley TV is not a swing out but can be removed from the mount by pulling down on the webbing strap. Make sure there are four hands while doing so. Pull down on the strap and have another holding the TV. For the sewer hookup the outlet is turned down before connecting the hose. Once the dumping is over and you are ready to pack up and hit the road you should raise the outlet back up and install the threaded circle back in the hole. I have been on the phone with the Thor rep for a number of times with improvements that need to be addressed with the Vegas model motor home. There are too many issues with it. The lack of quality control is very much in question as I see it. Our 2015 was back to the dealer's service department for a month to get our problems taken care of. The list I have given the rep is as follows.
Cab was lacking any real cool air A/C was lacking on keeping driver and passenger cool. That was fixed with a new part. I ended up installing a curtain to close up the cab and to keep cool while driving. The window wipers stopped working and found it to be a 5 amp switch fuse. Replaced and they worked again. But had no window washer. That was found to be a bad washer fluid pump. That was changed out to a new one. The rear TV/ DVD player needs changes made as to hook up. The cable connection is right in the way to insert a DVD. I ended up installing a male/female 90 degree connector to get the cable wire out of the way.
There are 4 fuse boxes in the Vegas and one is on the driver side outside compartment. Which is a real pain to inspect fuses. I suggested a central location for all fuses cab and motor home which would be behind the outside TV and have that TV a swing out mounted system with the fuse box easy to see standing up and checking fuses with ease. The cable to ant switch is in a bad location up over the kitchen sink cupboard. All it has is a little green LED light that you have to push to change. But to get to it you need a step stool if you are less then 6 foot tall. Mud flaps were installed on wrong as the tail pipe side had the flap get melted by the hot tail pipe. There is a bracket that holds the mud flap between the tire and flap and each mud flap was on the out side of the bracket which made the flaps blow in the wind. Front windshield molding blew off on our way home from the dealer 10 miles down the road. That has been fixed by me and the use of glue would be suggested and having the seam at the bottom of windshield a better location not at the top roof line. Why it came off. Now that we have the motor home back I will keep posting as I see any more problem issues.
