WE have a Vegas 24.1. The 25.1 is only a couple feet longer, so the driving experience would be the same. My wife would not even attempt to drive our 2010 Allegro 30DA, it was tall, bus-like, and leaned a lot in cornering. She does, however feel quite comfortable driving the Vegas. It is nimble, peppy, not tippy feeling at all, and drives like a large van. Its lower center of gravity does make it seem much more stable at highway speeds, and less susceptible to semi trucks passing. Plus, I like driving it, too. You will also discover fuel mileage much better than your present class A. We get about 10 MPG. We found, also that stabilizing jacks are really not needed. The coach rocks very little when parked and us moving around inside. It would help, of course in leveling the coach instead of using the occasional blocks under the wheels. We felt the 4 grand to install auto jacks was better spent on travels. One thing to remember. If you get the slide-out rear queen, be sure to put sections of foam pipe insulation or swimming pool noodles on the low corners of the slide-out. You will walk into the slide-out sooner or later. The foam will soften the blow. I have gone into great detail previously, in this venue about my experiences with our new Vegas, and the issues with quality control, and dealing with Thor. Read all these blogs from Vegas owners to get a good picture of the Vegas/Axis coach, and what to check for before you take delivery. An inspection of quality control issues is very important with these coaches. Have the salesman give you a complete run-down of all systems in the coach and where everything is located. The owners manual is generic, and useless There is no Vegas-specific manual. We did see a new 25.1 at the Tampa RV show, and did see that many of the deficiencies and QC issues were much improved in the 2015 25.1. I still feel this class A does merit consideration, and is fun to drive, easy to maneuver, and nice and comfortable to live in and travel in.
