--Overall size and maneuverability. The Vegas is easy to drive and park.
--Lots of exterior storage, probably the best in its size class. And, it does fill up in time!
Plan on:
--Adding a lot more heat/sound insulation in the cab area, especially the engine cowl. you can live with it as delivered, but the additions make it much more enjoyable.
--Add a tire pressure monitor.
--A better GPS system.
--Changing out the miserably uncomfortable sofa for recliners.
--Living with the small shower.
--Replacing the steering dampener with a better one or a stabilizer. And, maybe adding other suspension upgrades based on your own preferences.
Most of the above changes apply to many motorhomes.
I suggest reading all of the other posts about modifications. Some are important and some are personal preferences.
Would I buy a Vegas/Axis 24.1 again? After owning it, it would still be high on my list. I would also look at slightly larger, slightly more expensive motorhomes such as the Forest River FR3 30DS.
Good luck!

You know the FR3 was high on our list to buy but we didn't. Funny thing is, as good as it looks...and it's the same as the Windsport, Hurricane and all those of the same size on an F53 chassis, in all our travels...both on the road and in campgrounds all over the east coast, I have only ever seen 3 of them in the past 18 months. Don't know what happened but seems like they didn't sell well. I asked a Forest River owner about this once and he said he has never seen more than one or two and he goes to the FR rallies. ???????
