Hello folks...... DW & I are seriously thinking of trading our 07 5th Wheel & Silverado Dulley toward the purchase of a 2015 Thor Challenger 37KT with the Ford V10 Gasser. A motor coach has always been my dream & I think that at this point in our lives the fact that you can just jump into it at a whims notice & go without the hassle of hooking up to the truck is attractive. It would also make life easier for my 94 year old father in law since he wouldn't have to climb up the stairs to gain access to to bath located in the bedroom. That aside, I have researched this motorcoach but haven't found much info. on the Ford V10 as far as reliability & sufficient power. I realize this isn't a diesel pusher, but it something close enough to a pusher in our price range with most of the amenities. Those of you who have a Thor Challenger or something similar with the Ford V10 gasser care to comment ?? Oh one other question ...... Instead of towing a toad, we would probably just simply have a rental car company drop off a rental car to the RV park.........any comments on this ? Thanks again

Wondering how long it would take the Thor bashers to come out. I also think it's funny they are usually non Thor owners. It would probably take me about 5 minutes to find similar rants about every brand. I have seen a lot of Winnie issues on here lately about suspension bolts, slide issues etc. I have read complaints about Newmar,FR, etc etc. EVERY MH will probably have a few issues. Personally after owning 2 Thors I can tell you my issues were minimal and taken care of quickly and with a great attitude by Thor. Thor gets a bad rap primarily due to the Palazzo fiasco, and frankly they build a lot of entry level MH's that are cheaper than comparable entry level MH's. The Challenger is not entry level and from what I can tell the rants are minimal. I've seen more praise on the Challenger than criticism and usually you don't hear most of the good. You always hear the bad.
