I do not accept that Thor is of inferior quality as compared to Coachmen, Forest River, or any other manufacturer. Thor has been around for a while, yes, but still, I feel, we did take a bit of a gamble with the very first year of this model coach. But Ford, Chevy, Chrysler, have been around for 100 years or more, and a first year model run of any of their cars can have problems. It is not a problem specific to Thor coaches. Any manufacturer can have problems with first-year mechanical design. We did not go blindly and decide on the Vegas. We researched and studied and checked RV shows, perused magazines and reviews, and did our homework before making our decision. My main criteria was a Ford chassis, with the V-10, which from personal experience is a bullet-proof engine and tranny. Thor is the number one motorhome builder for a reason. If the products they sell were that bad, word would certainly get out quickly, and they wouldn't be num ero uno for long. At this point, we are happy with the Vegas, despite the few fixable problems, and time will tell if we made the right decision for the long haul. Thus far, the down-size was right for us.
