What wins people over on the Axis 27.7 is how un-Class-A it feels behind the wheel. The forward visibility is excellent, the Ford V10 has real confidence on grades and highways, and the compact length means you're not white-knuckling every campground turn. The drop-down cab bed is a clever use of space, giving you sleeping for up to seven without sacrificing the living area. Rear and lane-change cameras come standard, which makes the already-manageable size even less stressful on the road. Just go in knowing that Thor's fit and finish is a mixed bag. Most owners work through the minor quirks early and don't look back.
