You are describing the Fourwinds 23 series to a tee. Why the aversion to Thor? There is a reason large rental companies prefer these units. They are virtually bulletproof.
I think it's because people are posting that Thor is bad or something. Thor is the largest RV manufacturer. They make many good brands. Airstream, Heartland, Crossroads, Dutchmen, Keystone, KZ, Livin Lite, etc... And then when you look at their Motorcoach lineup:
A.C.E.
Axis RUV
Challenger
Chateau
Chateau Super C
Citation B+
Citation Sprinter
Four Winds
Four Winds Super C
Hurricane
Miramar
Outlaw Class A
Outlaw Class C
Palazzo RV
Siesta B+
Siesta Sprinter
Tuscany
Tuscany XTE
Vegas RUV
Windsport
I saw on a YouTube video by "Chris Travels" where he was talking about getting a Class C. Then on another video he said Thor was bad based upon his research. I asked what his research entailed. He said that he went in one that was a Thor Class C. Used model that was a rental that was for sale. It had a leak at one time or another. First of all, you are looking at a rental or what was a rental. You had so many people using it and not caring for it. Secondly, you are talking about a Class C. They are the most prone to leak. And you are baasing this on one unit you went into. He also said that he read on the forums here and on the IRV2 forum that Thor was bad.
My boss bought a brand new Winnebago last year. He has had several issues. One with a hose that wasn't connected. He had water leaking everywhere. And then the linoleum flooring appeared to be not cut correctly. The dealership was going to replace it and then they noticed the wall was warped. Ended up ordering an new interior wall to install in it's place. So it's not just brand specific. Winnebago makes a good product as well, but unfortunately there are mistakes made.
