Effy-

Thanks for that info. Just to be clear, though: Concerning the front seats and rotating them.....when you say that they rotate, do they rotate the full 180 degrees so that they're facing into the coach, or do you mean that they will just rotate? The sales guy knew nothing about the seats, but we could get them to rotate maybe 125 degrees but that was it. If they do rotate 180 degrees with the steering wheel tilted up, does the driver's seat recline at all, or does the steering wheel get in the way?

And sorry, here's another question I have about RVs and hydraulic or electric jacks....surprisingly this Thor that I visited today had no electric or hydraulic jacks. It seems that most of the RVs I have looked at (in my price point anyway) don't have electric or hydraulic jacks. I assume that therefore RV owners get out and hand crank after market jacks until the RV is level? Sounds like a pain but perhaps I am mistaken.

We purchased a 2015 Thor A.C.E. 30.1 in March and couldn't be happier with it. It came with hydraulic jacks and work like a charm. We've had a 14 year-old boy sleep in the drop-down bunk without issue, as well as a heavier friend. Friend said it was "okay", as the mattress is pretty thin.

Our front seats rotate enough so that they can be used as additional seats for the living area. The driver seat won't recline, as the steering wheel gets in the way. I don't think the passenger seat will, and frankly, I don't know that I'd want it to. The stairwell is right there when the seat is rotated and it's quite a drop, especially if one is short.

I'm not too sure if there's much we'd change about it at this point. Maybe add a Fantastic Fan in the living area, but otherwise we're truly happy campers.
