Are Thor's getting better?

I wasn't impressed with what I saw two years ago. I went with a Winnebago. I recently went out looking with friends and the Thors looked about the same or worse than two years ago.

NO Not at All

I looked at a 2018 Tuscany two weeks ago, Freightliner chassis with Cummins 450 and MH3000 6-speed. Everything looked like near top tier components as one would expect for the MSRP that they posted. A few items such as a side radiator, full length auto awnings, HWH levelers,
Maytag stack washer and dryer, LG TVs, etc. all seemed like quality items to me.

We purchased our new Fleetwood just over a month ago. We've owned a couple Thor platforms in the past with terrible results. They look great and have all the fancy after market stuff. The problem is their fit and build. Worse of anything we've owned. We vowed never again.

Our salesman encouraged us to look and a Thor product while we were shopping recently. I told him if it was a Thor ... Forget it. I was looking at Tiffin Allegro bus and Fleetwood 44H LXE. The reason he suggested the Thor was I was hoping for a side radiator. It wasn't the deal killer. Looked at that Thor Tuscany ... It took 2 minutes and I walked out and back to the Fleetwood.

" If " you're interested in that, seriously look at the Discovery LXE 44H. It has the 450 hspwr and is buildt on the same chassis as the American Coach line with independant front suspension and tag axle.

Had this coach a month and honestly it's more than I imagined. Great coach.

Entegra is also a Thor product . . . Expensive paint job

I was actually looking at the Sprinter based units. Maybe the little "crossovers" or whatever they call them. The 25 to 26 foot units. I like the Coachman Prism 2200LE, and the Winnebago Via. Thor has some counterparts. Not sure I trust the Thor brand yet?

X2... Worked at a dealer that carried Thor rv's... There's a reason they are cheaper than comparable rv's of the same model.... " you get what you pay for"

I like Thor. I have good service from Thor and also our dealer.

I have had some issues with our Thor product but my dealings with Thor customer service have been very good. I would base my decision on floorplan not manufacturer.

I'm certainly not well-versed in Thor's products. I have seriously looked at the ACE units several years ago and was not impressed when compared with comparable units by other manufacturers. It just didn't seem well-built to me. I suspect, though, that if you look hard enough for complaints on most any product, you'll find it in today's inter-web world. I would consider how many Thor units are on the road and their owners are too busy to stop having fun to post a complaint, vs. those who have trouble and immediately want to report it. Again, not saying that there are or are not inherent problems with the Thor brand of products......just saying that if you look for something long enough, you'll find it!
