Sandy, since you have had a couple of motorhomes for years, you already know that the drivetrains are basically the same, ford provides most and does so for all the major players. Thor is one of the biggest specifically RV manufacturers and uses all the same appliances and fixtures as the others. Thor does appear to have a poor reputation (at least in here) for shoddy workmanship. furthermore the unit you are looking at I believe is their lowest grade unit, meaning they cut every corner they could. CW you can read up on (here at least) and see that support from them is sporadic at best. Constant stories on here of owners buying a unit, to have it stuck in CW purgatory for months awaiting service or corrections of factory flaws.
My best suggestion would be to go to a Mom and Pop dealer, you can deal direct with the owner, by selecting carefully which one, you can get upfront pricing, not be told $66k only to have $8k added in fees after they get you to think you have a deal.
And lastly, try to purchase a step up, with any brand, you are usually best off to get a mid to upper level unit rather than their price promo.
