From personal experience, I know that Winnebago really stands behind and supports their products.
I have read mixed reviews on Thor.
As many have said, every brand has it problems........ therefore, support from the manufacturer is essential. I would prefer the Winnebago for that reason.
I think the comaprison to Thor and Winie is sort of an apples to oranges comparison. Each has their merits. Thor is known for it's customer serice. Probably one of the best in the industry. Thor also hits price points no one else seems to be able to beat and huge discounts can be had on Thor units. Winnie is known for it's fit and finish and quality. But don't expect to get a deal. You pay for that. In the few deals I have tried to negotiate on Winnies they just don't budge much on price and subsequently I ended up with Thor. Winnie has sort of an aloof approach I didn't care for and although fit and finish was better, overall I didn't think comparable coaches were so much so to justify the price. But I am a budget guy. Frankly despite the fit and finish I think winnies are overpriced. But to to each his own. Not looking for an argument but Thor is a more of a bang for your buck with concessions on fit and finish. Winnie has better fit and finish (still no where near the best) but prices reflect it, however winnie seemed to be less innovative. Winnie makes a nice coach, no doubt about it. But they depreciate just as fast, and in the end Thor usually wins on the resale due to the lower prices up front. If it'a coach you plan on keping for a long time I would concede and go with Winnie. It's just "nicer" and better built. For the short term (5 years or so) I would go with Thor every time.
