drives really well
over last 11 years it has never let us down on the road
still looks brand new
huge awning
really decent mpg of 7.5
TONS OF carrying capacity ( 4300lbs)
Giant basement for all the "stuff"

10 things I love? That would be hard. There are things I love and lots of stuff I like. Then there are the compromises. Most of the things I love are self-installed/modified.
1- I love the recliner loveseat I installed. Great relaxing seating.
2 - I love the ROKU smart TVs we installed and their placements - No twisted head TV watching.
3 - I love the "Rolling WIFI" setup using the $20 Connected Car Plan AT&T rolled out a few years ago with the Mobley dongles.
4 - I love the king size bed and bedroom storage layout.
5 - I love the outside storage availability.
6 - I love the second A/C installation in the bedroom.
7 - I love the Inverter convenience when traveling and boondocking.
8 - I like the way the MH drives with the Roadmaster steering Stabilizer.
9 - I like the size & layout of the bathroom.
10 - I like how well our absorption fridge works - keeps ice cream hard and at/below 32 degrees in the fridge - and that's even with it in the slide so no top vent.

We have one dog that stays at the driver seat side( i reach down and pet her)
The other dog lays in front of my wife's seat and will sit up looking out the front windshield. Dogs are great...

All 10 at once:
5900 miles(we came home yesterday) and the only thing that happened was a screw fell out of a cabinet hinge that has three screws in it.
They all will of course get 1/4-20 brass wood thread-inserts and a touch of locktight.

10 things I love about Taj?
A picture paints a thousand words... but because it's sideways, that makes counting really difficult.

I don't know that I have 10 things, but the number 1 thing I love about our 29m is it feels comfortable and home like to be in.

6. Norcold Freezer goes to below Freezing within 2 hours, 4 hours for Fridge plus Mod made to run Norcold off Inverter while driving
7. Safe T Plus Stabilizer
8. Jet Flo Macerator so I can easily dump both waste tanks at home
9. Mod I made to hardwire a 4 ft 50 amp cord to ATS, so I can quickly unplug and go when my long 50 amp shorepower cord is locked to the pedestal
10. Mod I made to install dimmer switches for all of the lights inside the Coach & the factory MCD Blackout Shades

I'll tell you the one thing that I HATE about ours...
...That we're not able to use it more!
Seriously: the size, layout, features, and overall quality meet our expectations perfectly!

Incredibly spacious
huge windshield for amazing views traveling and parked
Motorized awning
leveling jacks,, which probably dropped my blood pressure immensely
Solar backup, 3000 watt inverter, dedicated coffee maker outlet- (Upgrade by me)
Plenty of storage
One Dog loves the lower passenger side window, the other sits next to me for the requisite petting every 10 miles. They also love the couch
Nice sized shower and upgraded shower head, just like home.

Likes, dislikes and best fixes for our 2021 Axis
Things I like in our new 2021 Axis:
Layout- Perfect for a couple. My wife sits on the rotated passenger seat and I sit on the couch when we are inside which is rare because we are outdoors dry campers.
Twin beds- Nice and wide although a little short on the driver's side. My feet can hang off on the passenger side if I need to.
New Ford V8 and chassis- Smooth V8 power, 11-12.5 mpg, decent handling- doesn't tire me out.
Huge basement storage- I can even get my e-bike inside.
Inside storage- We probably have only used 2/3 of its storage capacity.
Smallish and compact- We are often the only Class A where we camp in SP and USFS dry camping spots and we can usually get in almost any campsite.
Front driving position- Panoramic and aerodynamic. Noise is quite tolerable.
Absorption fridge- Here in the NE we don't have to worry about cooling given moderate outside air temps. Works great and uses little propane.
Things I don't like:
BMPro touchscreen control panel. I prefer real switches to having to go to the touch screen to turn on a light, retract a slide, etc. The tank gauges are no more accurate than the old LEDs.
Small shower, but to be honest it works ok for us.
Cheap cabinets and paneling
Best fixes and upgrades:
Installed new hinges on back of couch to improve back angle, a big improvement!!
Spare tire carried on aft ladder. Yeah I know, it will fall apart someday, but I am still waiting.
Long, heavy, 6" rise, 10,000 lb capacity ramps for leveling. We have camped in a dozen different places so far and have always been able to level the coach with these within 10 minutes. Someday I might install a set of Bigfoot levelers, but for now, this is $4,000 cheaper.

It’s paid for (well, almost - 2 more payments!)
DW likes it and enjoys the lifestyle
It’s beautiful
It’s just the right size for us (30 ft class A)
It’s a “base model” with minimal bells and whistles
It’s fun to drive
It takes us to fun places
We’ve just about got the “new bugs” out of it - I think
The bed is more comfortable than our expensive Sleep Number bed at home
We’ve got a super satisfactory towed set-up
