Yesterday we looked at a Thor, I believe it was a 26.... soon as we stepped inside, my wife said, this is no comparison to the Winnebago... Poor fit on cabinets, loose trim, I wish I had taken a photo.... The dealer should have fixed those issues before placing it on the lot... made me wonder how much was wrong with it that we didn't see.....I consider the Coachman a step above the Thor but the features of the Winnie 25B without the slide, couch opposite the dining table, availability of dual glazed glass are the features we are looking for....Since we plan to keep it 20 years, we will order if necessary....we are hoping for a discount in the 28-30% on a in stock unit late December... If not, we will order...It's only a 10 week wait....
I hate to buy new but a one year old Winnie cost about the same as a heavily discounted new one....at least around here it does... We discovered the interest rate, down payment is less on a new one vs. one several years old... Plus longer financing on new....IF I could find a nice one owner, 4 yr old Winnie for $30,000 I'd jump on it but that is unlikely....
