Don't buy a Thor product
Do not buy a Thor product. We bought a new 2018 Thor Quantum in the fall. When it came in on Nov. 1 there were 8 major problems like a crack all the way across the table, a broken window, 2 dents in...

I know this is the C forum, but I own an A and they are basically the same beast: truck/bus chassis with cab or house built on top. Most of the systems that failed on our Winnebago the first 2 years were supplied by others (AC units, weather stripping, parts on chassis). How is it Winnebago, or Thor, or whomever’s fault if the AC, transmission, fridge fails? So, to tell me that I should not buy Winnebago or Thor or Tiffin because parts built by others fail is bad advice.
I would say it's the same as hiring a builder to build a house, your only as good as your sub contractors such as Electrician, Plumber, HVAC. At the end of the day it's the builders reputation thats on the line. If Thor uses inferior components to put their coach together then they take he blame.
Along with the fact there are only so many Dometics and Lipperts in the RV world. Thor is not using components that are any different than used by Forest River, Winnebago etc. It's more about how it's put together and how it's supported afterwards by the builder. All of them have shortcomings in both areas, especially now days.
You could always opt for a Newmar or something on a Prevost chassis if your pockets are deep enough.
