Thor Axis 24.1 or Vegas 24.1 - the new Thor RUV
We are very interested in the new Thor "RUV", but we have only "seen" it online. We have studied every picture we can find that has been released by Thor and the different dealerships, but we would love to hear from those of you who have actually seen it in person or own one!! For us, the pros are: 1. Length (we wanted to stay around 25 ft) 2. Twin beds instead of a corner bed! 3. Driver's seat should be ok for 6'4" driver 4. Can tow 5000 lbs 5. Gray tank size is better than the Minnie Winnie 25B we are also considering 6. Has windows over the twin beds and at the back! The cons are: 1. Small shower with hose going to sink??? 2. No permanent cabover storage like we have now with our class C The unknowns are: 1. Could this be serviced at a regular Ford dealership? 2. Will the dash air be enough to cool it? (With our small C now, we only need dash air.) 3. Can the loft bed be lowered and used for storage at the campsite? Any comments or concerns you can share will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!17KViews0likes13CommentsRe: Millenicom Novatel MiFi 4620LE - No WiFi protected setup?
Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply. I do appreciate all of the information and thoughts you shared with me. And JHilley, thanks for the link to the user guide. I was able to spend some time last night browsing through it and I think this will help me feel more comfortable with the device since this is new territory for me! Thanks again!388Views0likes0CommentsMillenicom Novatel MiFi 4620LE - No WiFi protected setup?
I have read so many positive comments about Millenicom, but I still have a few questions that I hope someone here can help me with! According to the information on their Coverage page, the Hotspot Plan uses the Novatel MiFi 4620LE. One of the reviews I read about this device said that it "does Not support Wi-Fi Protected Setup." So here are my questions and please forgive me because yes, I am clueless. :) Question 1. Since it doesn't support WiFi protected setup, does this mean I could not conduct secure transactions such as online banking, bill paying etc? Question 2. Is this a problem with any MiFi you are using or just this model? Question 3. When looking at the Millenicom website, how do you know who the provider is? Thanks for any information you can share!4KViews0likes9CommentsRe: Anyone considering the 2014 Minnie Winnie 25B on Chevy 3500?
Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply. We were hoping to buy a Chevy because my husband is 6' 4" and he has loved the extra leg room we have found in the 4500 Chevys we have toured while looking for a new RV. However, he did not sit in the driver's seat of this Minnie Winnie because I assumed since it was a Chevy that it would have the same leg room. But, now I am wondering, after looking at the specifications on gowinnebago.com, if it does have the same leg room as the 4500 Chevys. According to the specifications chart the Chevy is only one inch longer than the Ford E350 model. We have never had a toad before but we were planning to buy either a CRV or Equinox for that purpose. That is one of the reasons I was concerned about the 3500lb limit because both of those could not be considered. Since this Minnie Winnie is 5 hours away we can't check out the leg room or the weight stickers but we will be sure to do that on the next one we see. Thanks again for all of the comments and suggestions. :)612Views0likes0CommentsRe: Winnebago motorhomes-Is there a rear window option?
Thanks Tom and Dave for taking the time to reply. I will try Tom's suggestion about contacting the Winnebago Specialty Vehicles division to see if I could order the Minnie Winnie 25B with a rear window added over the corner bed. Thanks again!163Views0likes0CommentsAnyone considering the 2014 Minnie Winnie 25B on Chevy 3500?
After looking at pictures of the Minnie Winnie 25B online for weeks, I was finally able to tour one in person. I liked it so much that I tried to convince myself that I could learn to live without a rear window. We have always had a rear window and I love my rear window! For years now we have eliminated motorhomes from our list if they did not have a rear window, but that's another story. :) However, when I looked at the specifications online at gowinnebago.com. I had another concern. If I'm doing my math correctly, it can only tow 3500 lbs. If I'm wrong about this someone please correct me! I also wondered why this is on the Chevy Express 3500 and the other Chevrolets we have looked at have been on the Chevy 4500. Am I wrong to be concerned about the Chevy Express 3500? Your thoughts and opinions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!13KViews0likes17CommentsWinnebago motorhomes-Is there a rear window option?
Does Winnebago offer a rear window option on any motorhomes? We would love the floorplan for the 2014 Minnie Winnie 25B if it had a rear window over the corner bed. We have always had a rear window and I do not want to give that up! I have studied the Winnebago website but could not find anywhere to email this question so I hope someone here can help me. Thanks for your help. :)1.1KViews0likes3Comments
