I can only post about my experience. I bought my "New 2016" Thor 22e Freedom Elite from Camping World in late Summer of 2015. From the research I did I found out that this was an entry level lower end Class C on a bullet proof frame and if I was good with a wrench (which I am) it was a good RV at a good price. The first trip I had a water leak. The factory installed a rigid PVC pipe connecting the 2 fresh water tanks. I drained the water to a point below the pipe connection, that left the tanks about 1/2 full, brought it back and had the dealer install a flex pipe connection. Problem solved.
We have since completed 3 cross country trips, have 39,000 miles on is so far, have camped out 227 nights in it (not bad considering it is closed up 4 months for winter) and haven't had a major problem.....yet. Sure there are small things like screws coming loose and the mattresses getting a little thin, but it has treated us well.
I inspect it often. Tighten up screws, clean the A/C, check the roof and seal and so on. Routine maintenance.
We use this RV a lot. I'm sure there are people that haven't been as fortunate as we are and for sure there ARE some "bad" RV's out there.
However our THOR RV has given us exactly what we paid for.
