The ACE? You get the Ford F53 chassis, which is nice.
But it depends on the model. Large truck chassis with more V10 horsepower.
- The 27’ ACE is nice, however I believe you need the slide open to sleep in the master bed
- the 31’ ACE with the full wall slide is a very popular floorplan. And you can sleep with the slide closed. But it’s too long for my preference
That’s why I’m sold on Vegas/Axis 24.1
25.5 feet long, no slide needed to sleep.
It does have the E450 (or 350 chassis depending on model year).
Some do not like the E chassis vs the F53, but it’s fine for my needs.

Yeah, I really do like the size and.functionality of the Axis. However, if I can get a two year older ACE 27.1 for $12k less. Looking at the floorplans (I haven't been in one yet) it does look later me the king sized bed does stay down with the slide closed.
Can you elaborate on the chassis differences? I don't like the ACE rear fuel door although I'm sure it is perfectly safe. I do like the higher tow rating on the Axis, not that I plan to tow 8000lbs, but it is nice to have options. The Axis also looks better IMO, not that motorhomes are in a beauty contest.
