We've had our 2014 Axis since Jan 2014. Have traveled about 8000 miles. Love the floorplan but aggravated with quality issues, now resolved. Really do like this coach and the gas mileage and other features, despite the original issues!

We bought it in Texas and drove home to San Diego. Issues began appearing at the dealer (MHSRV- great company!)

- at dealers, Generator had to be remounted so the access door could be opened
- at dealers, cab light had to be connected
- on road from Texas, in Arizona, noticed the top right corner of the windshield popped up about 3/4 of an inch. Windshield was later reset in San Diego. Problem was with a torn gasket
- later, on trip to Oregon, kitchen counter flooded in rainstorm; outside vent had to be reset and sealed
- water pump quit working, had moved around and needed moved back to original position
- In a rainstorm out in the middle of nowhere, the windshield wipers blew fuse and quit working. Replaced with larger fuse. Googled forum on the same subject lead us to the fuse and saved us a lot of trouble
- bathroom door kept coming off track, we fixed ourselves. We were going to take the door off and hang curtain, but got used to it and appreciate the door now.
- inflating inner wheels was a problem, had to get new fillers
- (road hazard) - two stars from flying rocks, insurance paid for star repair

Despite the growing pains, we love this coach. Replaced the miserable couch with two Best Home Furnishing brand Costilla model stationary space saver, battery operated power recliners. Now, just have to mod the shower with different rod, and maybe replace the idiotic shower lining with the bumps in it for a flat piece to make more room in the shower, plus access the back of the TVs for connections.

Hope all the issues have been resolved and that there are no other unwelcome surprises! Really makes you wonder about the competence of the workers and the processes they use for quality control. They say all new RVs have issues, no matter what brand. Go figure.
