It's been my humble opinion that these RVs need to be regulated better. My initial ride in my consisted of a couple bridges, the latter with my wife beside me in her car, pointing to the sewer cover, which the dealer left the door unhooked and unlocked. The door was dangling a couple inches above the hwy. The whole ride was a nightmare. My Axis was all over the road. I felt like I was steering a T-CUP in a CARNIVAL RIDE.
If Thor thinks they are not culpable for playing ignorant to the steering and suspension issues (overloading the e-450 platform, in addition to the steering boxes), they are wrong.
These Ford conversions are unsafe, and IMO, Ford (and Thor) should be class-action sued for their knowing that Ford is (and has been) putting out a dangerous product, i.e. known "free play" in the steering box. I tightened mine in a Sportsmobile I had, and will do the same to this one if its of similar design.
Replace the garbage sway bars and shocks (see my thread on that). I decided to keep my 2006 Toyhauler because I know it's built right. This new Axis? POS
