I think you hit on the real issue -- price.

If $103,000 was MSRP, then it could sell for around $70k, in same range as Axis and Vegas of a couple of years ago. That would actually compete favorably on price with many Class Bs, which are the fastest growing segment in motorized RVs.

Because of the way motorhomes are built from the inside out (except Class Bs), I expect Thor could build a 21-foot Class A with similar content as a Class B for less cost. The result could be many of the advantages of a "B" with added space, particularly in outside storage.

It's a price shocker when you start looking at some of the newer Class Bs which are more expensive than much larger Class As. A simple, light, fuel-efficient and inexpensive Class A may be what they need to slow Bs and Cs stealing market share from As.
