Our bedroom slide on the Axis 25.2 went sideways during the PDI. It was repaired immediately (new motor) and has not been a problem since. Yes, I hold the switch when the slide is opened or closed for the extra time (1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi...) but must admit that each time I open or close the slide a small bit of fear is unavoidable. Will it work this time? So far, so good.
There are no non-slide Axis to date, and was told by Thor they don't have present plans to introduce one.

I contacted Thor on three different occasions to see if I could special order an Axis 24.1 without the front slide (living/kitchen area would be like your 25.2 which doesn't have a slide) and was told no. The third time was my final attempt, so I've moved on. It's their business and their choice to build whatever they want, and it's my choice to pass on an RV I don't really want.
