I assume by "try out" you mean just to simulate the use, not to actually ...............

I owned a new 2013 Thor ACE 27.1 for 3 months. Took a loss and traded it in on a new 2013 Winnebago Vista 27N. Not happy about loosing the money but very glad to be rid of the ACE. The ACE had very poor handling, wandered all over the road, the fit and finish was poor, lots of rattles and bangs. Check some of the other threads about ACE handling. I had multiple water leaks, exterior and interior trim pulling off, one pocket door pulled off the rollers and jammed blocking the bedroom, and those are just the high points.

The Winnebago handeled well without any add-ons or modifications right from the beginning. The fit and finish is good, cabinets are sized to be useable and are good quality. I only had two very minor warranty issues with the Vista

X3 on the Winnebago. I had a 2011 Vista 35f for two years and was quite happy with it. There have been some horror stories on here regarding Thor products but I can only speak from my experiences with two Winnebago Class A units.

For construction quality, reliability, and other differences it is easy choice of Winnebago/Itasca.

Thor does not have a fiberglass roof. It's TPO. But I have been very happy with their customer support. I find the fit and finish about the same. Perhaps Winnie may be a bit better quality, but personally I think their interior is a bit stark and dated by comparison. Not to ruffle feathers that's just my opinion

Let your wife and the floorplan be your guide.
