Well I still waiting for the Axis / Vegas floor plan with the "Mega Bike Storage" garage model. It would open on both sides with a 42 x 42 drop down door/ramp on both sides. Oh well....Perhaps the 2030 model with have that?


And Yes I have seen the Pleasure Way Wonder with bike storage - It would something like that but longer and in a Class A style. I really like the Class A looks but I might go with a C class down the road.

Simular to the European RV's we have posted in the past on this forum. So I know they exist .... just not in the Axis model.

No doubt it’s technically possible to design and build, which begs the question why Thor keeps coming up with “creative” Axis/Vegas solutions that often fail instead of offering a modern/updated version of a proven floor plan first?

Coachmen is doing what you describe above on the E-350 chassis. The Class C is 29’-6” long, much wider than Axis/Vegas, has huge bike garage, and still manages to have over 2,000 pounds of OCCC. When there are tons of Sprinter and Transit motorhomes with around 1,000 pounds or less of OCCC, it confirms that designers could develop new Euro-style floor plans while keeping costs down.

Tiffin also now offers a Sprinter MH with a Euro bike garage design, but I’d bet the OCCC is probably inadequate. Regardless, my point is that many buyers are going with small Sprinter and Transit motorhomes, so a “similar” design approach should work with Axis/Vegas also. Why wouldn’t it?
