THOR #2121
I suppose Class As can have front doors added to coach design. I haven't noticed too many units with driver's door lately but it was a very popular option at one time. That's more of a C versus A preference. I'm also not sure why driver's doors don't seem as popular.


Regarding chassis payload capacity, I was surprised to see there is less than 100 pounds between an E-450 stripped chassis with 14,500 pound GVWR and an entry F-53 at 16,000 pounds. As one can expect, the F53 weighs a lot more than an E-Series stripped chassis. Hence net payload almost the same.


In a recently-posted video on this forum, Thor sales mentions the Axis/Vegas as having independent front suspension -- and noting that as superior. I'm wondering if the IFS results in a better-driving motorhome, or if the difference is minor. Straight front axles with leaf springs does seem antiquated even when compared to Ford Twin-I-Beam.
