Don't buy a Thor product

After doing the research on the Freedom Elite made by Thor be purchased a new 22e in the Fall of 2015. The consensus of opinion at the time was it was an inexpensive unit that had standard industry components, and the fit and finish is average at best. However if you were good with a screwdriver and wrench it was good enough. On our first weekend out we found the rigid PVC pipe connecting the 2 potable water tanks (one tanks fills the second via overflow through this pipe)was leaking water due to the tanks expanding from the weight of the water. We caught it early and only had a small amount of damage. The dealer said they couldn't fix it because there were no directives from the factory, suggested to fill the tanks 1/2 way. Called Thor, faxed them a drawing for a fix, swap the rigid pipe for a flexible one. Thor sent the OK for this change to the dealer the next day and 2 cross country trips later, all is well. The water damage was repaired at the end of that first season, no problem. I had to reassemble drawer that fell apart, and next up I have to figure out why the awning motor is extremely slow to retract, like it's binding. I'll do that when the weather breaks. So far this RV has served us well. I do however keep an extra large box of tools and hardware on board. Just in case!!!
