THOR #20289
I picked up my new Axis 24.1 last month. Read about my potential modifications and some already installed here: https://www.thorforums.com/forums/f2...tml#post280185

Overall I am happy with my new Axis although I haven't camped yet- there is no place to camp in the cold of Connecticut right now.

The handling is much better than I expected and the only improvement will probably be an alignment job. The driving noise is tolerable and seems to be more road noise than engine noise.

My only real disappointment is the high parasitic electrical draw- about 20 amp hours daily. This is with the battery switch on. With it off for storage maybe a couple of amp hours daily which is easily covered by the solar panel. I am expecting to use another 15 amp hours daily for normal RV stuff: lights, water pump, device charging, fridge controls, etc. We used 15 amp hours on our simpler T/T. So I will run my new batteries down to 50% in three days rather than my hoped for five days. I can live with that, although it is disappointing that parasitic loads exceed real loads, but I will have to confirm the real loads. They may be higher.

Enjoy your new Axis.

David
