As an example, the Thor Chateau 25V Class C is a little simpler (less content) but has essentially the same floorplan, and a MSRP of $96,600 which is about $20,000 less.
The Axis/Vegas remains unique as a compact Class A built on an E-Series chassis, but as it moved upscale with more standard content, its pricing doesn’t seem quite as competitive for the budget minded.
I think there is an opportunity for a stripped down Axis or Vegas floorplan, similar in concept to the new offerings from Coachmen. If Thor could offer one option with MSRP back down under $100K it may attract different buyers.

We looked HEAVILY at the 25V, because we wanted the twin beds. Nationwide, the absolute best price we saw advertised was $60K; for the 24.1, it was about $73K (for the same model year). While they have "roughly" the same floor plan, comparing side-by-side to the 24.1 results in a crushing defeat for the 25V. It seriously was not even close when comparing feature to feature. It simply became a question for us if we were going to spend $10K-$15K more, and that was a pretty simple question, for us anyway.
