Baddad 53, I met you at the Salton Sea this year. Sorry to hear about your windshield problem. Do you have the larger windshield on your 25.3? We just got back from a Yellowstone National Park trip and got a "star hit" in the lower middle of the windshield from a passing truck right as we got to our destination. I took it to a local windshield repair business where they did the "epoxy" fix so the crack didn't grow. Let us know how your windshield fix works out. All the best.

Spotted a Vegas outside of Valentine, Nebraska on Friday, then another on Sunday in Hill City, South Dakota. These were the first two we had seen in the last 2000 miles!

Took a tour of my beautiful state of Colorado. Saw about 7 Vegas/Axis models last week. Several between Great Sand Dunes Natl Park and Mesa Verde. Also saw a Vegas at the RV Ranch in Grand Junction. Also took the Royal Gorge train ride and parked my rig at the end of the parking lot. When we got back an Axis from Kansas was parked next to me. Did not get to meet the folks. It was a good trip but caught a rock with the windshield and got the chip repaired in Pagosa Springs CO. My Vegas cuts through the mountains pretty well.

I saw a 2016 Axis 25.2 at Great Alaskan Holidays today. I like the size. I have room for 27.5 foot RV in my driveway.

I took pictures to show the comparison between a Class C & a Class A.

I looked inside and I like the layout except for the stove with an oven and it is on a E350 chassis. I'm still looking.

Passed a Vegas with Alabama license plates just after it merged on I-85 heading south near LaGrange, GA this afternoon with toad (red, not sure of make). Gave it a thumbs up from my car.

I saw 4 of them on the road between Florida and Texas yesterday and today.

1) Just south of Canoe Creek plaza on Florida Turnpike -- headed south -- Saturday about 1:00 PM.

2) Headed east on I-10 just east of Pensacola a little before noon today (Sunday). It was pulling an SUV with a canoe or kayak on its roof.

3) At Alabama welcome center on I-10 westbound around noon today.

4) Headed east on I-10 around Baton Rouge mid afternoon today.
