Elkhart, Ind.-based Thor Motor Coach’s has announced improved drivability for its Gemini AWD and Compass AWD, and the all-wheel-drive platform comes standard. New floorplans add to the Vegas and Axis RUV product lines.
Axis and Vegas welcome the 24.3 floorplan, which features a leatherette sofa that converts into a queen-size Murphy bed; dinette with cup holders; and reclining and swivel captain’s chairs that become part of the living space when parked. A large closet, kitchen pantry and lighted storage compartments make for plenty of room to bring along necessities and campground favorites, the company said.
The all-wheel-drive platform, which comes standard on the Compass AWD and Gemini AWD, allows for four-season weather capabilities on the road. SYNC 3, an 8-inch touchscreen audio system, provides navigation and hands-free control of the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Safety features include hill start assist, side-wind stabilization, lane departure warning, pre-collision assist with emergency braking and AdvanceTrac roll stability. According to TMC, all features are designed to work in partnership to promote a stress-free travel experience.
The 23TE floorplan is the first Murphy bed arrangement for the Ford Transit-based Thor Motor Coach products. Big windows on the camp side of the coach provide substantial natural light. The Murphy bed is queen-sized, which is rare in a compact layout. The TV across from the sofa/bed allows the front swivel seats to be part of the living space.
Available in all RUVs is the “Home Collection” interior decor package option. The Home Collection features the cream-colored “Ivory Coast” residential cabinetry with matte black finish hardware. The “Estate Grey” décor creates a fresh and welcoming environment with the combination of complementary designed flooring, countertops, leatherette and warm cabinetry.
