My wife is not comfortable (if fact won't) driving our class A Itasca. For that reason, we've (about) decided to down size to a smaller class C. We're looking at a 2017 Thor Freedom Elite and a 2017 Thor Gemini. I recognize that these are basically entry level coaches but are on quality Ford chassis'. My question is directed to anyone who has knowledge about Thor's quality or lack thereof. Your advice and counsel regarding this pending purchase will be greatly appreciated. / Larry
From the OP: Good comments to all. Many thanks! I've always been a man who was able to face a problem, quickly size up the issue and determine a proper course of action. Not so much in deciding whether to down size. I really like our '05 Itasca Sunrise and am somewhat hesitant to trade or sell it. So...again thanks for your comments. I'll just have to weigh this issue a bit longer (aka sleep on it).
Yes the grass is not always greener in the RV world. If you like your RV there is always a risk of giving it up. My wife does not feel comfortable driving our Rv either. I have no doubt she could in an emergency, but she prefers not to. And that's ok. I would never ask her to do something she didn't want. We thought about a B, then changed our minds once we took a hard look at our needs in an RV. The space, comfort and overall enjoyment of the RV we have now outweighed the small percentage of time we spend driving vs camping to take on the risk of an RV we might not like as much.
