Sandy, I don't know where you are, but if anywhere close to Raleigh, go by D&H on 64 between Apex and Jordan Lake. We bought a 2017 Thor Quantum from there, and the coach has been great. It has been back to D&H twice since March 5. Once was for a minor repair that took 30-45 minutes and most of that was waiting for adhesive to dry, and second was to get propane on the way to Jordan Lake. We have shop time at the factory scheduled for the last week in February for what are mostly minor issues and basically cosmetic, but one that I wouldn't want any dealer to try since it is a fabricated piece. We cannot complain at all about our coach, our relationship with D&H, or our relationship with Thor.
I don't know what your timetable is, but the Raleigh show is February 23-25. D&H and Campers Inn will be there with the Thor line and Kevin Mullis from Thor will probably be there. Of the two shows last year, there seemed to be much more at the spring show. We may be there mid day Friday before going to Indiana.
Take your time and don't stress. Unless you are locked into a train of thought, think about 2 days at the show.
One last thought to leave you with. Thor and it's subsidiary brands are about 75-80% of the new RV sales market. Therefore, all things being equal, then they would reasonably be expected to have the same percentage of the complaints. I am a voracious reader, and I not only read the Class C and Thor forums, I also read about every one else's. EVERY maker has complaints and issues, and along every makers lines, entry level units have more complaints than high end models. That even goes for Tiffin and Newmar. Then, more people will take to the internet to complain than will take time to praise.
If you have any questions, please feel free to IM me. it may take a few days for me to see it, but I will respond.
