Can anyone give me a heads up on this motor home ?

What do you want to know? Nice weekend summer vacation coach. Low initial cost and low maintenance costs. With drop down bunk and fold out couch has more sleeping area than the average rig. It's a low cost lightweight rig that will get you anywhere in North America on paved roads. Its a basic, simple coach.

The V10 based Ford chassis will out live the house built on it plus Ford is the only game in town for a gas power rig.

Maintenance isn't anything you probably haven't already experienced with your Artic Fox and Chevy 3500. Stay on top of roof seal inspections and follow Ford recommended schedule for the chassis.

And when people start to mention post production problems with Thor products may who post have never owned a Thor product. Maybe it's a neighbor, relative, camping bubby or where ever they get their info. I'm in my ninth year of owning a Thor and the coach has never seen the insider of a RV or Ford Service Center. Every manufacture, every single one, will have a lemon roll of the production line and with Thor having the largest market share the averages will naturally be higher then the more boutique manufactures.

My one recommendation is find a coach with a model year 2016 chassis. The 2016 chassis has the 6 speed transmission. Bit better fuel mileage with a second OD (sub 1:1 ratio) and a bit quieter at cruise speed with a lower RPM.
