Welcome! We also live north of Atlanta and bought our 24.1 Axis in early 2014 when there wasn't a single one to see in Georgia!
Ours was a downsize from a much bigger class A, and we have been much happier with the more narrow width and shorter length, though at times we definitely would like the extra space! For some time we have felt this great little coach would be even better with an additional slide in the bedroom. Perhaps with the new addition of the E450 that will be a future possibility!
With regards to making up the extra large bed, try using a fitted twin and a fitted full. They cover the entire bottom space, and then we use a king size sheet and blanket or comforter for the top.
We recently added tpms for monitoring tire pressures on coach and toad. Since Thor's valve stem extensions have issues you may want to consider one, too.
Hope you have many great trips with yours! Be sure to post any issues you have as most of us have already been through and had to solve similar ones!!
