I agree with video for the most part, and it’s not really about whether you understand or disagree with what you are signing, the issue is whether you “essentially” have a real choice to buy a new RV...

Easy part first. ;)

I’m assuming these are 110 Ah batteries based on previous comments.

220 minutes at 25 Amps, rating is 91 Ah.

60 minutes at 70 Amps, rating is 70 Ah.

When estimating battery capacity, don’t forget to adjust or compensate for discharge rate, which changes the Amp-hour rated capacity. Normal stated ratings are at 20-hour rate, so for 110 Amp-hour...

Did you calibrate or zero reading when batteries were at 100% state of charge?

If not, and it’s inaccurate, battery voltage and usage Amp-hours won’t correlate well. Other possibility is that...

New Westfalia on video looks very well built. I like that it’s not a window van like Thor Class Bs.

The seat that turns into a bed looks a bit short but otherwise nicely done, probably great for...

Most likely, but I would double check before buying. Thor shows 12,500-pound GVWR (E-350) under both Axis and Vegas pages, so a typo would have been repeated; not that it is not possible.

There’s not much difference in costs between remaining floor plans, though specs are somewhat questionable as usual with new models, and that “may” affect MSRP.

24.1 = $170,850

25.7 = $173,850...

MHSRV has them advertised around $135K. One unit is +/- $125K. MSRP is a bit higher than 24.1, so in same range overall.

Great points. The toilet area doesn’t look that skinny to me, but I’m not that wide so I guess it’s all relative. I’d have to sit there first before ruling out.

Same for bed. Queen is pretty...

Thor video of 26.1 at Tampa RV Super Show. It’s a good floor plan, and looks nice with paint. I think it should do well, especially with large rear storage compartment and 3,000-pound OCCC.

It’s not all great with BrightDrop either as they no longer operate as an independent entity, but were pulled back into GM. It seems business just didn’t grow as expected.

I would not remove the door because under normal conditions then it would require closing two pocket doors instead. That seems more inconvenient, though I am not claustrophobic so...
