THOR #1589
There aren't many options on the Vegas/Axis probably because it slows down the production line, and requires more inventory and accounting, thus increasing the cost. It's a marketing strategy.
We were on some bumpy county roads today, and it is amazing that any of these rigs don't shake to pieces. I've seen some RVs that were less than a year old and were trashed, and some that were over 10 and still looking like new. Some folks can trash out a luxury car, and some folks can make the cheapest crap car last forever.
Back to the OP, I believe our 2016 Thor is just as well built as the other brands mentioned, and better than some. It's really hard to compare the abused rigs brand to brand with a small sample.
At their price point, I consider Vegas and Axis entry level. Yes, there certainly are cheaper Class Cs, but you get much less value. I expect issues with our Vegas both initially and for the entire ownership time. they all have issues. However, I will take care to maintain it as like-new as possible. The last coach did pretty well for 8 years, and will give the next owner several more. When we were shopping, this is the coach that gave us the floor plan and the pricing we wanted.
Good luck with your shopping!
