Hello,We are new to RV and looking to buy new unit. So far, we've found that Four Winds 22E or Freedom Elite 22E service our needs. The dealer we've been corresponding with had quoted one for $59000. However, I've seen on rvtrader.com same 2014 or sometimes 2015 units have been offered for as low as $49,999If any of you had purchased Thor 22E model (Four Winds, Chateau, or Freedom Elite) in the past, could you please share how much have you paid for it, before tax? It would really help us to get an idea how much should we pay for it.Thank you.

In 2010 I got a full loaded 2011 Thor Fourwinds 25c for $60k drive off. But I got it at a dealer in Albany,NY, Albany RV. I live in Texas but after 5 hours of flying I picked it up and it was worth it, the cheapest locally was I think $72k. You can find good deals if your willing to go the distance.

Thank you OpenRangePullen_Ford I appreciate your reply.Since you've got it out of state dealer, did you have any issues with warranty services in TX?Thank you.

Several camping worlds in Florida advertise the 22e for $49,999 as well as rvone in Orlando. Check for leaks in the cab over bed before buying.

They were selling for $49,999 at the RV show in Pomona, California last September - pretty stripped down model. Have you looked at Nexus Phantom 23P - very similar, $59,900 -- but a lot of standard features included at that price like Onan generator, power driver seat, awning, etc. They also usually have a used one on their website if $$ is a concern. I was about to pull the trigger on a 22E when I ran across the Nexus. I wanted a traditional dinette and they were the only ones that would build one that way. Ask for Loren there if you have questions.

Thank you Johnnyrv and Oregon2 for your information and suggestions. We are aware that 22E is stripped down model, but it is with in our budget. I would like to find out had someone paid less than advertised price of $49999?

If you are going to buy new, this is a good time to pick up a new 2014 at some of the best prices of the year. Better hurry though as the more popular models are selling. Just noticed a Thor Fourwinds 24C on sale at less than $52,000 that I had been watching but just listed as sold. It was a Ford 350 and did have generator. It was not a stripped down model.

We got our Thor chateau 31L for $69k. Sticker was over $96k. I would think for a 22' you should be in the $50k range.

If th budget is tight go for a used one over new. If you decide you want something a little bigger, or with some special item, you will take a big hit on a new unit. I have had 3 used MHs and 1 new. I had more problems with the new one than the other 3 combined.

Also, the 23U was purchased over the 22E because the A/C is ducted and a lot more quite. Not to mention the shower size

Thank you for input Arizona Kid. It's disappointing that people on the forum prefer to withhold price information. Especially, taking into consideration, the number of complains about dishonest salesmen have been posted here.
Perhaps, if people would be more open to talk about the RV prices, the future buyers would have advantage over dishonest salesmen.

I can totally understand why no one wants to tell what they paid. Someone will always say you got ripped off, or I got mine for less. Feelings can get hurt. It's best just not to ask someone what they paid for their RV. jmo
Plus there are so many variables where price is concerned. Better to ask for a % off dealer price.

Maybe if you asked for a PM instead of a post.

I too would recommend checking out Nexus RV over any Thor product. Be sure as mentioned earlier to check out what comes standard on like sized and floor plan units.
Anyway, a friend of ours just bought a 23P from Nexus and had nothing but good things to say about the experience, (factory direct sales). We met up with her, checked it out and were definitely impressed by the craftsmanship. She was able to make changes to the interior to suit her likes & dislikes at no extra charge.
