We are looking to buy a new 2018 Class C. So far we have looked at a Conquest 25 ft. We've also looked at the Thor Freedom Elite 29FE and a 28Z, also a Jayco 26XD Redhawk. Out of these we really liked the Thor 29FE the best with it's options. I've read reviews that aren't kind to the Thor Freedom Elite series. Are there others out there we should consider? We are in a rural area so have to drive at least 100 miles to look at and then not a big selection. Have been looking online. Pro's and con's on any of the above and for sure the Thor 29FE? Mostly just the 2 of us and an occasional camp out with the grandkids. Thanks for any help and info.

We like to sit at the table and look out the window. The 29FE seems to have a TV in the middle of the table and two small windows, one on each side.Also, we like to sit at the table and look out under the awning.Also we do not like the stove and sink to be on a slide, that sounds like trouble.Also we do not like a 75 inch bed. We sold one unit because it had a bed that length and would never even consider another like it.That's my opinion.

Thank you for posting these! I guess I really didn't stop to think about the TV! Good points you have posted for us to think about.

Mostly just the 2 of us and an occasional camp out with the grandkids. Thanks for any help and info.I currently have a 2017 Freedom Elite 29FE that we purchased new in nov. 2017. All I can say is I loved the RV at first. Now, very sorry to say...not so much! Very disappointed in it. Great floor plan, great price, but have had very little time enjoying it. Too busy getting things fixed. We have put more miles put on it to and from camping world service centers(2 different centers) than we have to enjoy it. It currently has 3718 miles on it and all but about 2200 miles have been traveling to camping world (s)for service. Just dropped if off again today. :(. Not sure when we will get it back of if I even want it back. Having it has caused a lot of stress and provided 0 enjoyment. I"m seriously considering legal action against camping world and Thor if I have any further problems with it. I just want them to take it back! I know others are very happy with their units and I don't mean to make this about all 29FEs, this is just my experience. Wishing I would have listened to others on this site. Good luck with your search!

Take a look at the Winnebago models. Then compare what Winnebago offers compared to Thor models. Start with the roof.

Check out the Foresters and Sunseekers vs the Thor, Fiberglass roof, better cabinetry, Jayco's look also at the Greyhawks, And in each case drive them. Jayco has several of the popular mods to steering and suspension already done so you may find driving them to be much better.

Take a look at Leisure Travel Vans, a little expensive but a stellar reputation. Ours is 25 feet and is perfect for the two of us. It's built on a MB Sprinter chassis and so far I'm averaging 17 mph (city and highway) 19 on the open road. Everything works and is first class, we found one with 8,000 miles on it. Just had it checked out and was told everything was "solid". A new one has about a 10 month wait time. I have a friend who bought a 2008
and has never had a problem, only tires. Good luck!
