Bruce, that's strange considering the chassis is stretched behind the area where the engine, transmission, and driver controls are mounted. I'd be interested in knowing what Thor revised in that area. I can see Thor moving things out of the way to clear the body, but have a harder time visualizing why shifting controls would be affected by stretching the chassis further back. Any information you learn would be appreciated.


As I mentioned in another thread, I would feel more comfortable with idea of buying an Axis if the wheelbase came the right length from Ford so these kinds of problems and potential finger pointing between Thor and Ford are reduced.

Considering so many E-Series-based motorhomes are built with wheelbase longer than Ford offers, I think it's time Ford step up and produce at least two more longer frames for both the Cutaway and Stripped chassis. The idea of cutting a brand new chassis in two and stretching it is almost absurd when so many of them go through the process.
