I weigh in at 10,900 fully loaded My dry weight is @ 9500 pounds

The extra storage crosstek has is nice, but I'll keep what I have and use the rear hitch for extra cargo and bikes.
By the way the dash air has no problem keeping a 24' class c cool

Yeah but I think its geared towards a different market like Chance said.

The person that is looking at this either has a "B" or is looking at B class RV's thinking "I need a little more room" but still want something narrow (which can be an advantage not dis-advantage like you pointed out). Or I guess a C class person looking to downsize a little?

I love the fact my Axis is only 94 inches wide. I take this thing everywhere and I never worry about fiting. Lots of intercity narrow roads, heavy mulit lane city traffic, narrow dirt road for the mtn bike trail head, small parking lots... etc.

IMO the buyer for this RV wants something light, most likely WILL NOT tow a car (just something light = kayaks or jetski), good MPG, good storage, fits in driveway + most parking spots etc.

They might also feel intimidated by a larger RV.... so this fits in there comfort zone.

Plus they might only need enough water for the weekend.... so 25 gal is plenty.

I for one like it.... Is it for me?.... No (but in the future who knows).
