I apologize if this is in the wrong location. I purchased a 2022 Thor Quantum which sits on a Ford F450 chassis. It has a AXXERA AVM700iFd2 installed. I plain hate this radio system. Has anyone changed out this radio system. It's a basic radio used by Thor. Thanks again!
 
Radios usually fit in a standard 'DIN mount' (the metal box that is inserted into the dash). Commonly used are single & double DIN mounts. Thus, if you have a double DIN radio now, any other manufacturer's double DIN will fit. The connections from the radio to the vehicle are not always the same so it often requires reading the installation manual & deciphering the vehicle's connections. Not hard - just takes some time.

I swapped the Jensen (low end radio) in our ACE to a Kenwood. I bought it from Crutchfield. Sometimes they have wire harness adapters - it's worth asking as that'd make it almost plug & play. They did not have an adapter for our ACE however. More info about swapping to the Kenwood here: Kenwood Radio - Camera Question

A thread about the Axxera here: Axxera Model AVM70
 
We need to know what you expect from a radio head.
Any stereo shop in any town can offer ideas and do the install.
 
Has anyone changed out this radio system.
There are dozens of threads here regarding replacing Axxera radio systems. Most are standard double-DIN installs. Some Class C/Super Cs are a little more difficult due to dash disassembly but there are threads here about that as well.
