Thinking about making the switch from Travel trailer to Class A. I found this MH which is a Thor Palazzo 33.3 diesel pusher with the perfect floor plan.

I want something around this size with a diesel and I want bunks for the kids. I know the Cummins engine has a great reputation but i know nothing about motorhomes and could use some advice. Is Thor a good brand or do you recommend another brand or model that has a similar floor plan?? Any help will be very much appreciated!!

Kevin,
In this price point you will be hard to find a better deal. We have been looking for a MH for months and settled on the Fleetwood Discovery 40G, but that is another story. In looking at bunkhouses we looked at the 33.3, the Berkshire 390BH, and the 40G I have now. The power was the best on the 33.3. The layout with the extra electric front bunk was neat. The only thing I didn't care for was it was the noisest down the road of the three and it was a little small for what we need. The Berkshire is a true 40 footer but will cost you a little more unless you want the Allison 3000MH, then it will be a lot more. The Thor fit and finish is not as good as the Berk and no where near what the Discovery is, but the prices go up and up to get more and more. 2 A/Cs, residential fridge, a true DP and 10 mpg. What's to hate? It seems to be a good family DP with a great price point.
You won't see 15mpg; my 6.7 in my RAM doesn't even do that.
