We are loving our 2 week old Axis. Camped in it 2 nights overloaded with all our stuff from 37 foot class A. Now that we have it home we are in the process of paring down!! Am wondering how best to handle bedding for the supersize king! Have considered using one twin and one full fitted mattress pads and sheets and making a large flat cover sheet from 2 full sized ones. Anyone have a better suggestion? Since there are only a few of us with this new coach it would be great to connect and share our experiences!

Glad you are liking it. Was curious how the new models would be recieved. It's a peeve of mine too, despite the creative housing solutions they offer in MH's there is not much consideration to available products like bedding due to the unique sizes of some of the beds.

Effy, you are so right! Wouldn't it be fantastic if manufacturers contracted with a bedding company to offer a matching set of bedding available for purchase on their models with unusual bed sizes?!! The Vegas/Axis brochure and Thor website refer to a bedspread and shams as standard on this coach. However, after looking for ours and the sales rep telling me he would send me one, the Thor rep tells me they changed their minds about having a bedspread for this model! Guess they realized it would be too challenging since the twins convert to a king!!How are you enjoying your Ace?

I so enjoy this coach and frankly despite looking at higher end units or other brands I can't think of a thing I would want different. Very happy with it and pleased with Thor as well. I know they have their issues - what manufacturer doesn't but they have stood behind it.

Pretty much any seamstress can do this after getting measurements.I'm curious how you like that "A", and what problems you have encountered. It is on my fairly short list of vehicles I'm considering, just because of the size and use of space inside.

Thanks for your posts on your new Axis...I've contacted our local dealer and they tell me they expect to have one in stock by the end of the month....I don't know how serious I am but I really like the idea of a much smaller A or a large SUV-type vehicle...I've seen the Ace but think it's still too big for me and I'm hoping the Axis is a bit smaller but from the pics I've seen it may still be too large for me....I'd be trading in an 18' TT (with a large slide...a Chalet Takena 1865)...the thing is I've got this thing that sits in my driveway most of the time and might end up with another larger thing that sits there most of the time...my slight justification would be that I can trade my SUV that I have to have to pull the trailer in for a small car for my regular vehicle...also, I've got a bit of a slope on my driveway which makes it way more work that it should be to hitch up. I guess if I have the class A, I'll be looking at backing it in and then driving the front tires onto some ramps to get the front high enough to be able to level...

Looking to connect with other Axis/Vegas owners

Hello All,

Just made a deal on a Thor Vegas, this is the first Class A, prior had a little 15' Coleman (very cramped). This unit is perfect for wife and I and grand kids when their in town. Can anyone tell me if the bunk ladder is standard equipment and what other pieces of equipment came with your unit, the sales guy seem to tell you whatever they think you want to hear.

I paid 68K for mine.

There is room for 2 12V group 27 batteries and that is what it comes with. There is no room to add more unless you move the batteries to another location.

VietVet1,

Sure! Was in the process of answering your question when you posted again! Hope you love yours as much as we do ours!

The ladder comes with the coach, and we discovered it fits nicely behind the couch. It also comes with 2 tables, 3 metal table supports, an adjustable slide brace, power cable, and air mattresses for the couch and bunk. You should have 2 pillows for the couch and 2 pillow shams for the bedroom. There is no bedspread, even though Thor's brochure says it comes with one. If you are going to make the back beds into a king, we have found that one fitted twin and one fitted full fit perfectly, and then we use a king sheet, blanket, and comforter on top.

Be sure they demonstrate everything at your PDI. This is such a new coach that there aren't too many of us out there with one yet! Feel free to pm me if you would like to share email addresses, so we can compare our experiences with our coaches down the road!!
