Another gasser question

I'm always surprised when I hear about a lack of quality fit and finish of so many coaches. And I know it has to be true because I read things about it all the time. I take pride in the things I own if I spend $500.00 or $100,000.00 both get the same treatment.

I'm just amazed that someone would have a motorhome and not fix what's wrong and not perform scheduled maintenance. I would be mortified to have someone walk into my coach and have them see a cabinet door out of plumb, a piece of cracked or missing molding etc. I don't believe any motorhome manufacturer sets out to build a bad coach. One may have more things to deal with than others, but they can be fixed. And if fixed right it should last or am I just wishful thinking?

Driving down the road with rattles and squeaks that I could have fixed and didn't would drive my crazy! I'm sure many of you are like that as well.

Tomorrow I'm going to a dealer and spend most of the day looking at both new and used motorhomes. I want to see up close and personal the different floorplans.

Not that I've settled on a gas model but one plan that has really gotten my attention is the Thor Windsort 35C GVWR 22,000 37 ft. Ford F-53 Chassis 6.8L Triton V10 362 HP, 457 lb. Torque and 6 speed tranny. I'll be curious if I feel the same way about it after spending time in it. I didn't know you could get a bath and a half with washer & dryer in a gasser?

As always, thank you all for your excellent information, its been invaluable to me.

Most of the bath and a 1/2 floor plans we looked at were on a 36 foot or longer chassis /floor plan which we thought anything that size is pushing the ford gas chassis to its limits, This is just what we thought in test driving them and we had empty tanks and nothing but us and the sale guy in the coach.
Good luck in your serch
