We put 25000 miles on our Vegas in two years and 10000 miles on our new Axis this year (10 months) with a four month trip to Alaska, three month trip to eastern Canada and two month trip to Colorado and Utah. Sounds like you plan to use your Axis as we have used ours with traveling trips staying in one location for less than a week and moving on. All the above tips are good ones. If I could add two more things that I would not be without - (1) a Tire Minder or like system which monitors the heat and pressure in your tires. An absolute must for your safety and peace of mind if you plan to drive lots of miles. (2) a Clean Dump or similar system to empty out your holding tanks. If you are going to move every few days they you will dump your holding tank two or three times a week. The Clean Dump system will allow you to do that messy, smelly job in 10 minutes with no mess, no smell and no clean up. I have pulled into Dump stations with another RV at the same time and I am done before he gets his hose hooked up. As many times as you will Dump, believe me, it will be worth the several hundred dollars to you. The Axis is a great RV to do what you want to do. We have never pulled a toad because it is one cord and we are hooked or unhooked. No cords if we are dry camping. And with its 25' length, you can get in almost anywhere. With our National Park Golden Age pass we found lots of campgrounds in National Parks and National Forests for 4-10 dollars a night. Have a great time! Hope to see you out there somewhere.
