We saw the Thor Axis at the RV show in Pomona last fall - love at first sight after considering the Reyo and the Via, which we felt were too small for us. We also considered the Class A Vista, FR3, and diesel Journey along with and other 'short' Class A's.
The Thor Axis is not too small and not too big, but just right for what we want as a retired couple. We had an excellent experience buying from MHSRV in Texas - no haggle, no mystery, no 'coupons', just bottom line pricing and exquisite customer service! The actual sales price was much less than the already low advertised price, let alone the sticker!
We particularly like the 'truck' chassis' with standard truck tires. The ride is stable and so far we have not needed levelers. Gas mileage has been about 11.5 mpg. There is a lot of storage for a retired couple such as we are, and we love the Norcold two door refrigerator which is elevated up from the floor. We also love the table that goes between the captain's chairs, but we're not using the table in front of the couch.
We really love this coach so far and are happy not to have to tow. At 25.5 feet, Thor nailed the floor plan we had dreamed of. Camping experiences so far have allowed up in spaces we could not have gotten with a longer rig.
Be aware if you buy one, tho' - you will instantly be famous in whatever campground you go to - people want to know all about it and see the inside of the coach! We've made lots of new friends!
