Not sure what happened. It shows up if I'm logged into my YouTube account, but not if I'm on a different browser and not logged in. It was either deleted or it never cleared some sort of review process.

This is what I posted, it didn't seem that bad to me. lol.

Amazing design coupled with horrific build quality.


Parts are still falling off our 2018 Vegas. "Up early. Not because you have to be, but because you want to be."??? No, actually I had to get up early on our last trip so I could make vital repairs before we could get back on the road. That one was the 8 foot long, 30 pound slide topper hanging off the side, held on with ONE screw after the others fell out. I can't imagine what could have happened if it fell off on the busy highways we'd been on the day before. Just one example of the hundreds of build quality issues we've had that could have easily resulted in a fatal accident.


The design works very well, when it does. The Vegas/Axis front end creates very little wind noise compared to a Class C. After doing all the required suspension upgrades, the handling and ride is far better than most Class A's. The huge front window is amazing to look out of, even if ours does have a stress crack across the bottom of it. The front cab area being so much bigger than a Class C is amazing, but the Ford factory built dash of a Class C won't rattle and fall off when you're driving like the thrown together Thor dash will.


We really like our Vegas and plan on keeping it for a long time. But the way it was built has been an unbelievable disappointment. We have over 23k miles on ours already, but that's only because I've done all the rebuilding and repairs myself. If we had to take it in for all of the issues it's had, it would have spent probably 14 months in the shop, and it's only 18 months old!


The only thing that's saving the RV industry at this point is the fact that the Lemon Law that protects car and truck buyers doesn't apply to RV buyers.
