I looked and looked for a Murphy bed RV, well they are outrageous, and impossible to find. We narrowed the search down to these two.
The Thor Axis 24.1
this model is a class A unit that is on a Ford gas 450 chassis.
Cost $75,000
And this model
The Citation Sprinter 24 ST class C diesel Mercedes chassis
Cost $99,000
First Thor makes both models so there were lots of things that were very comparable. The fuel type, tank sizes, drive feel, and price are the major differences.
We both preferred the drive of the class A. I was very much in favor of the price of class A. Here's were it got crazy, after lots of conversation of the twins convert into a king size bed, which we loved. We went off the rails when we actually bought the thing. We ended up buying this floor plan.
Axis 25.2
Cost $72,000
The reason that we decided on this plan was after thinking about actual living in the rig for extended periods the larger living space and shower were big deals for us. While we enjoy our king size bed we can fit just fine in a queen. But the thought of my 6'1" husband trying to shower in that 2x2 corner shower that he could barely fit in was not an actual reality we could live with. Not to mention the sofa area feels way bigger. We are minimalist so losing the under unit storage wasn't a big deal. We are picking up the rig next week, I've been researching like crazy on the "must" haves and will post our trips and what I learn as I learn them.
Happy Traveling
