Ed, I agree the outside storage volume numbers are difficult to compare (believe) between 24.1 and 24.4 floor plans (or 24.3 for that matter), but Jamie seems to think it is adequate for his family.
I think a bigger issue for some campers/buyers is not just the total volume, but how that volume is configured/distributed. It’s easy to find a home for lots of little things, but when hauling large items, a large number of small outside compartments doesn’t help much at all.
We like to travel with bikes as an example, and prefer them stored away (not hanging off back on exposed rack). Even better is room for a tandem. Large compartments also lend themselves well to haul large cooler, a spare tire, etc.
The 24.1 is indeed best in outside storage, which may be one reason it has been most successful Axis/Vegas floor plan; but could have even more useable outside cargo space for larger items if offered with rear compartment like that of Tiffin Midas or Wayfarer.
In case of Wayfarer it’s offered both ways, with elevated beds for large rear garage, and also with flat interior floor for those who may not want interior steps. Thor could easily do the same and spin the 24.1 into a similar floor plan with bike-size rear garage that would appeal most to younger buyers.
