Definitely the difference in chassis showing there - from the F450 to the F53... I have no issues driving the F53 based Hurricane (33 foot) - can maneuver it places that surprise people that haven't driven it. I find the Class A's have a tighter turning circle than the same size C's...
Only challenge has been tight gas stations when towing a toad '4 down' (takes away reverse as an option) - just needs a little more thought to leave room to swing around - or choosing a different station in some cases.

I've done all the driving on this one (over 10K miles) - but that is more due to DW's health rather than willingness to drive it. She did drive the last rig - also on F53 chassis - with no issues.

Floorplan and storage are probably biggest factors in picking right model - having the room to do what you want and store what you need will likely drive your decision... If the Axis/Vegas provides what you need - its a great choice. If you need more room/more storage - the larger F53 based choices would be right for you.
