I owned a entry level Thor Hurricane 30Q for four years. Third owner. For the most part everything worked as designed. The things that needed fixing were not because it was an entry level, as the same parts were used on higher end gas units as well, and/or were not Thor constructed. There were items such as the cabinet and drawer hardware that were, well cheap.
Entry level units typically have things as options versus standard on higher level units. I just went through this during the purchase of my yet to be delivered Newmar. They have an identical floorplan (3004) in their Bay Star and Bay Start Sport line. We bought the Sport. The build sheet for the Sport has fewer options available to be included, and some items are optional yet standard on the higher end line such as levelers. The light fixtures are lower quality yet adequate, drawer handles are different, and so on. The attention to build quality should be the same, just some of the parts may be higher end.
