Re: 2014 MARVAC RV Show in Novi, MI - saw the Thor Axis

When the time comes to move forward on the snow birding project, we'll be looking for a "gently used" something, or maybe some leftover stock that will be discounted to move. We're also hoping that...

Re: 2014 MARVAC RV Show in Novi, MI - saw the Thor Axis

Did it look like this one? These folks were from Tennessee and I spoke with them in September 2011 (somewhere in Minnesota at a Walmart, maybe just outside of MSP, westbound on I-90?) about their...

Re: 2014 MARVAC RV Show in Novi, MI - saw the Thor Axis

The snow bird idea is probably the ultimate goal, after this winter in particular. We discussed a more permanent solution like a condo, or seasonal rental, but the complexity that being Canadian adds...

Re: 2014 MARVAC RV Show in Novi, MI - saw the Thor Axis

I am pretty sure that a 2014 Ford V10 has some fuel economy related improvements, over a 1992 Chevy 454. It probably weighs a bit less than a '92 National Tropical (if that's the correct model you...

Re: 2014 MARVAC RV Show in Novi, MI - saw the Thor Axis

I think the sales guy said maybe 12mpg, but my memory of that, with people coming into and out of the display model while we were talking, may be wrong. I could live with 10mpg for the extra room and...

Re: 2014 MARVAC RV Show in Novi, MI - saw the Thor Axis

Yep, sounds about right to me. My feeling is, if it's built on a Sprinter, you pay up front for the chassis, and it's possible to recoup some of that initial hit later on fuel economy, if it lasts...

Re: 2014 MARVAC RV Show in Novi, MI - saw the Thor Axis

I assume these are the only really tight tunnels on the Needles Hwy, as mentioned on the official SD GFP website, as a warning to drivers.

Re: 2014 MARVAC RV Show in Novi, MI - saw the Thor Axis

Needles Highway, Custer SP, Tunnel 5 (Near Needle's Eye), 8' 4" wide by 12' 0" high - pretty tight for a Sprinter, too? They only mentioned this one and one other, so all the others must be like...

Re: 2014 MARVAC RV Show in Novi, MI - saw the Thor Axis

True. My impression of the Trend was that it was a View, that they pulled the Sprinter out of, and stuffed a Ducato into, instead. Also got rid of the slide, and replaced it with that electric loft...

Re: 2014 MARVAC RV Show in Novi, MI - saw the Thor Axis

Looks like a shorter Axis, with less inside room.
However, it isn't the shoe box on a chassis shape of a more typical class C.
I don't think the class A,B,C matters as much as what works for you. ...

Re: 2014 MARVAC RV Show in Novi, MI - saw the Thor Axis

They had a Freelander 21QB class C there for a show price of US$49,900, but we didn't like the typical boxy shape and cab over forehead. There was a significant step down from the bed platform that...

Re: 2014 MARVAC RV Show in Novi, MI - saw the Thor Axis

I thought the Axis was a comfortable size throughout, and I can't see where you could reduce it's size much without sacrificing something somewhere, like storage or just plain elbow room. It's got...

2014 MARVAC RV Show in Novi, MI - saw the Thor Axis

Saw an Axis today at the MARVAC RV Show in Novi, MI. Very nice unit. No pictures sadly, as I forgot the camera, in our haste to get there before the crowds, but that didn't work out well either.
The...
