Gabby's walkthrough was great. Thor's build quality...not so much. 14:49 - What's even more disturbing than some assembly worker forgetting to install these table mounts is the fact that no QC process caught it. Gabby caught this mistake, what else did they 'forget' to do during manufacturing? Tighten a water line? Check the wiring? Seal a seam? For too many years US RV manufacturers have gotten away with leaving final QC to customers, only to give them a run around when their shoddy workmanship is discovered. Now RV dealers are having buyers sign docs at purchase absolving the dealer of any responsibility. Nope. "Give us your money and we'll make it right. Trust us." No thanks. Fix it before you sell it. Then stand behind it or keep it.
Every off season I go through one section of my Thor and do repairs on how I think it should have come from the manufacture.
It’s a Thor, what do you expect?
Most, if not all, American RV/travel trailers are made to last 5-7 years only. Every time we would go to a campground I'd see pieces of interiors in the dumpster. Plywood and laminate..
That’s why you have an RV Inspector check before you buy
I have yet to ready a good review by actual customer's of Thor's products. They look nice but the quality control is terrible.
Love the light colors throughout, so much easier to find things, love 💕
Nice review Gabby!! Good catch on the "no place to put the table legs." I recently saw a review of a different model of this with twin beds in the rear. Glad to see this one with the bigger bed.
I LOVE these smaller Thor RVs!
Me too! Thanks for watching
Thor sucks
@@RVswithGabby Nice video! have you seen any Thor Axis with the toy hauler(patio) at the back?
Excellent! I like the dove colors, love the big windows in bedroom & bath area, love the door (and full-length mirror!) that closes off bath area so you have a large bathroom rather than two separate areas. Love that both the toilet and the shower both have skylights. Wish the microwave combo was at shoulder or counter level. Is older folks have some difficulty bending down! Only minuses for me are the step-downs from bed & cab. So easy for older folks to forget about that on the way to bathroom or kitchen!
Good points!
Thor and it's family of companies are in quite a pickle right now.
Issues such as water leaks, electrical, problems with appliances, main frame issues.., are piling up with Thor and its many companies.
Other than that, great presentation Gabby!
Thanks Allan!
@@RVswithGabby You're quite welcome Gabby.😀
I’m new to the channel but I really really really enjoyed the video. I need to buy some lottery tickets but yeah I enjoyed the video very informative and let’s just say you ladies are nice to look at.
Loved your walk through gabby and your funny and beautiful I might add, keep the videos coming we love them and you're sister.
Thank you!!
I want to see Matt get his fat you know what into a storage compartment! LOL Nice video Gabby. I look forward to watching many more.
Great review Gabby. I am a 24.1 owner as well and really enjoy my Axis. It felt validating to hear you are on the 24.1 team. 😅
Thanks for watching Shayne!
thank you Ariana!
You rock Gaby! Super interesting. Good luck and bests to you and Arianna ❤
Thank you!
I still believe that my Axis 25.4 is the best. That shower outside is a no go. The Axis 25.4 have a complete private bathroom. Also the shower is bigger than this one. Plus the 25.4 have a real dinner table for up to 4 that convert into a full bed. So happy we bought one. It’s been with us for over 6 years and still stand well. Not strong but well.
Glad to hear it!
What do you mean “not strong”?
@@Paiadakine twice I had leaking problems with the roof. Same with the side one time. The vehicle AC stop working and the tailights bulb have been giving all kind of trouble. Would I buy it again? Probably not but the home insisde has been without any issues. Mine is a 2018 so we bought it new for less than 90K. Now those similar are selling for more than 120K.
@@ericpizarro3084 thanks for the info. I have been looking for a class A rv again and all the reviews I see scare the crap out of me. Seems like new ones are built terribly and the warrantees are as good as toilet paper.
Outstanding review. Lots of credibility by being honest about the good and bad. Awesome RV.
Thanks for watching!
Great video. Sleeping capacity is now increased by 1(outside storage ) per the demonstration. !
Love the floor plan and outside storage
HAHA true! Thanks for watching!
It is really nice inside I like it 👍🏼
I think so too!
Beautiful camper van. 🤟🤟🤟
I agree!
Love your videos Gabby!
Thank you!
Nicely done. Looks like a well-designed unit.
Excellent video and review.
So glad you also included pictures with the slide in.
Love the unit, would prefer it without slides so if I went in this direction the idea would be just not to use the slide. Thanks!!!
Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching!
Great ideas, thank you.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Great comment about the missing poles holes
Too funny!! Thanks for watching
Quaint. Nice desk location. Oh, another drawer. How's the comfort on the throne? Roomy bed, Kamasutra approved. Well, who's gonna know, you know? Thanks. Nice job, Gabby.
Excellent information, thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Great video !!! Love the look !!!
Glad you liked it!!
I would like one like this it has alot of room great job describing everything thanks
Thanks for watching!
thanks Gabriela great job you look very pretty
This is really nice!
I agree!
The Ford Godzilla motor is an excellent piece.
Well done Gabby. I really like how you are so relaxed and easy going while educating the masses
Thank you!
Thank you this is one of my favs to buy!
I really appreciate these models and enjoy your videos-thank you for creating such informative content! However, I have a couple of concerns. First, I'm curious about the build quality, as it seems to be a critical factor. Additionally, the pricing feels quite high, which may make it challenging for the average family to afford.
I also wanted to mention my thoughts on the financing options. Requiring a 20% down payment can be difficult for many people in today's economy, and the emphasis on having a nearly perfect credit score may exclude potential buyers. I hope to see some adjustments in these areas to make these products more accessible for everyone.
You are very knowledgeable, loved this.
Also, 2 Gabby Storage! Lmao, props to you... 👍
If the quality was up to par, these units would be awesome. We had a Thor Vegas 24.1. Perfect size, great to drive (ton of power for that sized unit), but the workmanship was so shoddy. We got rid of it after a year and upgraded to a Holiday Rambler. The design of this Axis is very nice, especially the bathroom.
What year was it? Can you please explain what you mean by "shoddy?" I'm considering purchasing one of these in a week.
@@DearFutureWifey Congrats on your pending purchase! I loved the compactness and drivability of the 24.1. It was a brand new 2021. The roof leaked in the bedroom. The seals were subpar in the bathroom around the fan, causing another leak. Two of the kitchen drawers would not close properly, resulting in both opening whenever we drove the unit (we had to zip tie them until we could get to the dealer to have the hardware replaced). The black tank flush valve was broken and liquid was released inside the unit the very first time we tried to use it. Thank goodness one of us was inside to see this happening and we shut it off right away. The propane tank was inoperable - had to have that repaired. Unfortunately these and other issues are not rare occurrences for some units, doesn’t matter who the manufacturer is, that we’re “Covid-built”. We were able to fix some of the issues ourselves (roof leak, for example), but the dealer had to fix the others. Just make sure you do a very thorough inspection of every single thing in your unit before you buy. Don’t sign on the dotted line before they are fixed.
The cost to replace that front windshield…9 Bazillion dollars (not totally accurate, I rounded up). Good review - Gabby 👍
I should really find out the cost to replace just out of curiosity... Thanks!
That windshield actually retails for 17 Dingdongdillion dollars and 88 cents , to be accurate.
In most states there is a windshield clause in your insurance to replace it for free. Unless people purchase crappy PIP insurance.
How much for the axssthaour
Idk he much to replace the Axis windshield but we’ve had to replace the windshield in our Tiffin Phaeton x3 in the last 3 years and each time it was about $5000 though most of the cost was covered by insurance fortunately.
Nice unit😊
Great review. I think that was the ladder in the back closet , not table legs. 😊. Just guessing because it looked like my Thor ladder from my class C.
Thank you!
It needs a door on the shower not a curtain. And not sure that Inlike that recliner . Need to be able to relax in it and have additional power charger for phones etc. The bed over the cab does not support much weight. But all in all nice looking!
Nice review Gabby! Will you be doing retail and sale pricing??? I like the Axis.
Hi! Usually I do not. MSRP on this exact one right now is $179,521 and sale price is $119,995!
@@RVswithGabby Just subscribed because you answer people's questions in the comments section. ❤
Why don't they put the generator on slide out rails (like the griddle) so you can do maintenance on it? doesn't make any sense to me to have it in-closed like that.
Good point. Not sure if maybe the space is too tight? I'll have to ask a rep next time they visit our dealership...
Can you explain the beautiful warranty? Just love it’s for 1 whole year. Truly nice sales lady. Too bad she on vacation when your RV starts breaking down.
The drawers are wobbly....
Thor quality, through and through. 😮
😂
😂😂😂
Thor sucks!
If the posts for tables are missing… what else was forgotten? Is there a ladder for the bed? Nice little coach though . What is the price?
$119,995!
Looks great inside and out, but I noticed that it looks like the driver and everyone else on board only has the center door to get in and out. I think it's kind of dangerous in case of an accident.
The video was fantastic as always Gabby. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍
Absolutely! Thanks for watching
There are usually escape windows. Probably the bedroom windows are exit windows
@@kenmcclow8963 yeah, but don't you think those front windows should be able to come down? I do, maybe they do. Gabby didn't show if they did, or mentioned that framework.
@@MrRaymond1021 The front windows do not roll down
Hi Gabby, How come you don't give prices on the RV's?
I am starting to now
Very nice, but pricey. Great color scheme.
What did the company say about the lack of holes for the tables. Will they pay for the cost of repairs
I like this format but how good is Thors warrantee? Other videos say no one wants to take responsibility, the dealer the manufactuer no body. So the purchaser gets shafted.
Great video. Things are missing from the factory, I'm wondering what else is missing. : No drinkholders or recliners : (
Drink holders are in every table and also around driver passenger area!
Great video..but you should at least..tell us the MSRP..thank you
I am working on this for future videos thank you for watching
Looks good, but missing ladder to the overhead bunk.
It's a folding ladder, stored in rear closet
Is there storage under the bed?
Do the captain chairs swivel
Yes storage under the bed. Yes captain chairs swivel.
Thanks Gabby!😊
I like sister o
Is there a comparable floor plan (Thor or not) in a Class C? We had a 27.7 Vegas but sold it because of folding bed. I dont want another Thor product
The Jayco Redhawk 29XK would give you that island bed in the back with the storage... There should also be a Geneva model like that but Geneva would be Thor
Hi, new to the channel I did 👍🏼 up and subscribed, the vid is 2 months ago, but was there storage under the bed? And can it be customized a bit? Like adding a slider to the shower, l. I don't like when curtains attack... 😅
Thanks for subscribing! Scroll to 4:30 in the video, this is the storage under the bed, accessed from the rear. You could probably find a company after market to upgrade the shower door, but I know Thor doesn't option that from factory
Is there an option that has the dinette instead of the recliners?
At this time there is not, I don’t think one would fit with slide closed? but there is a fairly large table you can insert in front of those seats!
Start telling us the price of these things so we'll know whether to look at them or move on
You can google the price
The only thing that windshield says is extremely expensive when it breaks
Not a fan of the cheap front windshield "shade." They couldn't put in some type of shade that follows the track of the windshield itself that went up/down with a flip of a switch? Thor "quality" leaves much to be desired
price?
MAtter of facþi love may sisteŕs
Good size class A. Does anyone make that size Class A but with flat style windshield. A big rock chip would be an expensive windshield replacement vs traditional design. MSRP?
How much please to Dubai
all good except missing table
What’s the price on this unit?
Does the drivers seat swivel right around? It should but doesn’t. Arms catch steering wheel. Anybody?
May need a bit of maneuvering... Did you try sliding it back all the way first?
Cost??
Insignia tv 📺 😂 they still exist
🤣🤣
You missed the microwave and dining table makes a decent bed for kids. Also huge drawer under one of table bench that holds a lot. I use for my dishes and coffee maker.
Thanks for the tips!
How much
Hello from Puerto Rico Gabby
Hi Ramon!!
RV's with no slideout @ least a real V6 engine & transmission no turbo or hybrid add-ons
This one has been difficult to find. Are you located near Orlando?
You said “wireless” charger a couple of times. I am assuming you meant USB ports, right?
They do have a place where you just put your phone on top of it and it charges it wirelessly but then if you push on the button it lifts up and there’s ports as well
@@RVswithGabby Nice!
Run from Thor as fast as you can. If you don’t want to hear good luck you’ll need it.
You did not show the ladder for the over head bunk.
It's a fold away ladder stored in the closet
Need a longer warranty
Excellent review! You make RV shopping fun!
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
4000!!!!!
You did not show the sewer system
It’s a Ford Chassis or Chevrolet? Or other ?
Ford!
Cargo Carrying Capacity please?
Ours is on the E450 chassis (14,500 lbs) with a CCC of approx. 1145 lbs; the E350 is 13,500 lbs, so its CCC is less.
Sliding door for shower
I agree that would be a great improvement
It rattled in the road ..😢😢poorly done..
Is it free?
I mean just watched Matt’s video and he shares msrp and some discounting. I’m guessing this is over $150 but under $200 msrp?
This is an older video of mine, I now share pricing today. Somewhere in these comments I posted back what it was when this one was available. It has sold!
This is EXACTLY like the 2024 Thor Vegas 26.1. Why would they have two identical models with different names? The only difference is the Vegas doesn't have the silly stripe outside.
Same with other Thor rigs, e.g. Scope/Rize.
The Vegas front end has a more contemporary design with vertical headlamps.
This Axis has, of course, the more traditional horizontal styling.
How much is it .
Watched the whole video abd ya didnt tell the price!!!
188k plus taxes..will be over 200k..😂😂😂unless your millionaire..way too pricey..💰💰💰💰
Should come with a induction cook top,not gas top stove,your paying top dollar no gas stove,this is why we have solar power boxes or inverter.
Annette, most customers I meet actually didn't like the induction cook top for a while there. You can always purchase a portable one, cover the stove, and use the induction on top of it
Only 40 gallons of fresh water capacity? Not enough for serious boondocking.
I'd say the van conversion companies build better quality, less cookie cutter products.
True, but this particular model I don't think is in the same category as the van conversions. This is more Class C/A than Class B van
"You can fit 2 Gabbies in here..." The US will find any method to not use the metric system. (I'm a US citizen. I'm still baffled by the metric system. I understand "2 Gabbies" just fine 🤣)
"Hot water heater" ????
If its hot why we need a heater? Lol
Should say " water heater".
Who would make an RV without a door for the bathroom that shower curtain just doesn’t cut it.
The door to the bathroom swings open and a magnet holds it across the hallway for privacy
I was looking at the 26.2 model of the Axis but after watching 2 videos and noticing the deplorable build quality on both, I think I’ll look at another brand.
1) Missing table mounts.- Demonstrates that Thor has no QC department. Completely unacceptable.
2) The griddle is nice but most would much prefer a big open pass thru bay there for storage, if they want a griddle they’ll buy one.
3) Add another foot and give me theatre seats all day long over the love seat. Slide is completely unnecessary in this model.
4) That was a huge counter. I’m thinking bigger shower…
Who designs these things? They obviously aren’t paid very well.
Made in China 😂....
I cannot deal with anybody that refers to themselves in the third person! Crazy person!
Small tires are not a plus.
For those who are uncomfortable driving a full size Class A, it makes the RV feel more manageable.
All the people that have Thor campers aid they are a nightmare to own the have water leaking problems
Every brand will have issues and bad reviews online if you look for them. I would also venture to say some people aren't maintaining the roof of their camper correctly, so no matter what you buy, if you aren't checking your seals etc you will have leaks!
Gas motor no thanks I would pick something with a diesel
Sorry but if you have to check the once or twice a year that’s a manufacturing problem.
Inaccurate information. Please don't be walking around telling people they don't need to check their roof seals. That's ridiculous.
Do you not change your oil every six months or check your air filters? It's called maintenance.
@@RVswithGabby just saying if you have to check the seals all the time maybe it’s a inferior product. Accurate description
@@alteredstazeakahullabelew2495
Sorry, but maintenance is maintenance. It goes with the territory of owning ANY vehicle. Besides, you may never get a leak, even without wasting your precious time to do so. But if a leak did develop, blame yourself and not the manufacturer.
It cost to much if they don't tell the price
