[axis earl]

Congratulations to you on your purchase. You did ask something about an "arctic" package with the Thor Vegas/Axis in your OP. You can see by the responses from current owners, even those that have been in some pretty cold weather that the Vegas is not made for this kind of weather. Yes, you can make it "doable" but that is with a lot of extra effort. I can also tell you that the same drawback as far as insulation and basic construction hits home when the outside temps are around 100 degrees. The best that the air conditioning can do is reduce the inside temp by around 20 degrees, even with the 15k air conditioner. You can find discussions on the topic with those travel trailer owners that buy the Arctic Fox line vs. those that buy something else. Just so you know what you are getting into when it comes to temperature extremes. Then there are the past discussions about putting snow chains on a Vegas.... Take one look underneath and look at all of the exposed hanging wires, hoses, etc., and picture frozen chunks of ice attaching to all of it and bouncing down the road. The vehicle is not made for it. As long as you understand such limitations you should enjoy your purchase.
