I ended up buying a 2016 Vegas 24.1 (wanted the twin beds for taking my sister along). The only problem I had was the macerator pump that the first owner had installed. Then I traded for a 2022 Winnebago Micro Minnie FLX travel trailer, so I could have the truck to run around with. The Winnebago has been nothing but trouble. So, you never know.

@@JodysJourney In the future, look for good name brands _before_ 2018. Anyone buying anything built during the covid RV crush craze will be beset with crappy quality control issues. I was interested in a Minnie Plus myself but won't touch anything made after 2018-9. Did you get a thorough RV inspection? They're worth the $ so you're not stuck with an ultra expensive newly built lemon. That sucks that Winnebago sold out & went cheap too, they're supposed to be one of the best. Avoid 2018 RVs or newer!

@@celestepalm6949 The FLX was not built before 2018 and all of these problems developed in the months after the purchase.

That was in Lincoln, Nebraska. About 3 years ago though. Yep, prices are crazy right now.

No, I haven’t been able to RV over the last year or more. My little brother had cancer and just passed in February. I was his primary caregiver for the last year (spinal tumor meant he couldn’t walk or drive). I am in the process now, though, of getting back on the road - getting his house ready to sell and my Vegas back up and running. She dewinterized and started back up great. Unfortunately I must have gad a blockage in my water heater and some wires got melted. Ugh. So, need to fix that and maybe put a macerator pump back in. Then, keep your fingers crossed. 😊. Thank you so much for checking in.

@@JodysJourney I'm so sorry to hear about your brother. May his soul rest in peace. I imagine you were a great comfort and blessing to him. Wishing you a safe and easy transition back to life on the road. Many happy trails!

My brother passed from his cancer in February (I have been his caregiver). I’m in the process of getting his house up for sale, fix a couple of things on the RV (though she weathered my neglect fairly well). Then, I’m back on the road. 😊👍🏻

@@JodysJourney I am so sorry to hear that but I am sure he greatly appreciated your support. Looking forward to seeing you online again.

I do. Mine is a 2016, though. The bathroom doors are much better on this model and newer, just fyi. I am planning to trade soon though for a class B. Need something easier to maneuver in cities and busy parks. And I don’t want to tow. Otherwise, I love the Vegas.

I’ve been off the road for about a year now because of a family member’s health crisis. I will be back and making videos as soon as I can though. Thanks for your kind words. I still love my Vegas. 😊

Thank you.

I really haven’t been able to use it much the last several months as I am taking care of my brother who has stage 4 cancer. It has been running just fine though. The only real, continual problem I’ve had is with the sewer system and that is mainly because a previous owner had it plumbed for a macerator pump. The pump engine went out early and I’ve been trying to get service centers to make it just a gravity dump and I seem to keep having trouble. So I’ve decided just to replace the macerator pump and hopefully be done with that. Haha.

Thank you so much. Unfortunately I have been off the road lately as my brother has advanced cancer and I am taking care of him. But I will be back on the road some day soon.

@@JodysJourney We’re so sorry to hear that. Wish you guys nothing but the best, hope everything works out!!

I’ve never pulled out my couch. I believe it unfolds out as opposed to being a jackknife although that differs with different years. I will say the slide comes in to even up with that wall (where the mirror is) and hallway, so even if you can fit it, you probably wouldn’t get around it. It is long enough to sleep on, as a couch, for someone under six foot. Hope that helps.

I didn’t write it down but other owners report 9-10 mpg.

My brother was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, so I haven’t been traveling so I can stay close and help care for him. I hope to continue when I am able to get back on the road. Thanks for watching and asking. 😊👍🏻

It wasn’t under warranty. Bought it used from a personal seller. It has done okay. Always something to fix here and there.

Yes. I am not traveling now because I have a family member who is sick and I’m selling my house, etc. 😊❤️

Not really. When I was going up some hills in northern Arizona, I did have the check engine light come on. Freaked me out but by the time I got back to Yuma and saw the Ford dealer, it had gone off. The mechanic said that is just a glitch that happens sometimes on steep grades. Had it happen again somewhere else - same thing, mechanic couldn’t find anything wrong and said it was a misfire. So, now when it happens, I just keep an eye on it and the light usually goes off by the next morning. But it’s only done it about three times and never affected the operation of the RV. Mine is a 350 and I wish it were a 450 but still does okay on hills.

Thanks for watching. I’m not traveling right now so no new videos but hopefully in the near future. I really love my Vegas. Now, that’s not to say there aren’t issues. Every motorhome/RV has them, and the Vegas is a lower-end model (which is why I can afford it in the first place - haha). But it is such a great size and yet has everything I need. I’ve been looking at bigger and smaller rigs, and I keep coming back to my Vegas as the perfect medium. 😊. I’ve heard you should try to get a pre-pandemic unit as the newer ones are being made so quickly, they have tons more issues. Plus, if you buy used, someone else has taken the depreciation and hopefully fixed all the bugs. Haha. Best of luck with whatever you get.

Super easy. A bit like a big van. If it is windy, it can get buffeted around some but really not too bad. Such fun.

Overall I’m still really happy with it. Every now and then I think I want something different - smaller, bigger, etc. But then I always come back to my Vegas as having just about all I need. If I were to switch, I have thought about the 25.4 because I would like a bigger bath and a bit more closet space. But I just didn’t like the dinette in the other one and switching it out with a sofa was a bit weird with the depth and step up on the dinette. So, back to the 24.1. Haha. When my sister isn’t traveling with me, I switch out the two twin mattresses for a full (running the other direction) and it’s great - gives me space at the foot for laundry basket, etc. My biggest issue, unfortunately, has been plumbing (nobody’s favorite). First the toilet flush kept breaking, so got a new toilet. Then the previous owners had put in a macerator pump, which died in the middle of nowhere. So I was just hooking up a hose to it but it was difficult to fit (because of the changes). Tried to get a couple of RV shops to fix it up some how but still having issues so I think I’ll just put a macerator pump back on it.

Sorry - family health issues have kept me off the road. Hope to be back up in March.

Thanks for watching. I’ve caught some of your channel. So fun. I’m looking at maybe a Scope 18M or Sequence 20K for a few years down the road.

Thank you for watching. I loved Padre Island.

I’m glad to hear that. The 25.5 was on my short list. 😊

@@JodysJourney I seen your video on the RV you got. Congratulations!

@@cindyhughes3036 Thanks. 😊

Me too. Thanks for watching.

I found mine through RVShare. Outdoorsy is another owner rental site. I did a Google search for “Thor Vegas 24.1 for rent” and several listings came up. The closest was a day away but the owner let me park my car where he stored the RV. Good luck.

Just a regular driver’s license.

I’m really loving it. Just everything I need in an easy traveling unit. Some repairs: needed a new toilet as the lever fell off twice and there’s a leak in the grey tank line - on the schedule to get that fixed in a couple of weeks; a trim piece off and a couple of drawers I need to fix the glides on. But, overall, all things to be expected on a five-year old unit that shakes and rumbles down the road. Haha.

Thanks.
