I am happy that some Thor owners are pleased with their units. I note that many take their units back to the factory for repair....mostly the slides. I know most new motorhomes require repairs, usually minor, but slide problems are a major part of a unit and taking it to the factory for repair should not be necessary. I really like the Thor floorplans and was dissappointed in their overall QC program and their selection of slide hardware.

Having the right dealership is a big plus for me. The techs at my local dealer are top notch and do stuff right. I have always heard buying from CW can get you a good deal but you don't want them serviced there. Hopefully the barrage of slide issues will force the hand and have them start using better mechanisms. No doubt contracts and money is involved.

Well said. The dealer can sure make your life easier. My dealer is very good, but does not sell Thor products. One of the reasons I am shopping Tiffin is because of them...they also sell Fleetwood and a couple of other brands. I think we would pay a little more for better quality parts.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but Tiffin is no saint either. I thought they would make a better RV, but this is not the case either as Tiffin uses schwintek slide mechanism as well. i think I can say this asI am an owner of a 2012 Tiffin allegro with schwintek slide problems.
