Mileage is better than my truck got pulling a 5th wheel or Hauling a Lance truck camper. It's a little squishy steering, which reminds me of our old vans from the 60's & 70's but I have read posts on correcting it.
The access to the battery and oil filler is strange but doable. I connected a length of PVC to two opposing elbows to reach into the filler from the front. Dashboard access panel cutout was very"rough" and I'm wondering if it was an afterthought and done at the factory by 7th graders.
Looking forward to the end of the COVID-19 shutdown so we can get out camping ������

Hi ! Welcome to the AXIS family ! We, like you, have had several RV's over many years of camping. When we found the Axis we knew we had found the last RV we would own...and so far we have not been disappointed.
The steering solution...as you have read is a good fix...Ron did the SUMO SPRINGS...and found that suitable.
Yes..the battery and oil are bit of a chore, but ya find a way. We, after owning our Axis since January 2016...had to replace the battery last fall...that is when you want to access through the dash board. When we placed the roughly cut board back in place..we used Gorilla Tape … so far good. Some folks put hinges on the board. It is all in what you feel best suits your needs.
Watch that door latch...it is the only serious issue we have had, along with many other owners.
We upgraded the shower head to the Oxygenics .
Added a couple battery led lights over the couch and sink...as those factory lights are a bit bright when watching tv...
Changed out the TV in the bedroom, finally,...as those Seiko TVs are increasingly, not compatible with RV parks upgraded cable systems.
This Spring we, will upgrade the tv in the living room.
Ron made a cutting board, round to cover the kitchen sink.
There ya go....we LOVE OUR AXIS !! and so does our cat K.C...he demands that the bunk be lowered when we are parked...it is his territory !
HAVE FUN !
Ron and Kay
