I read someone else on the site has had problems with their Thor Axis.We bought a new Thor ACE IN June 2014. It has been a nightmare. Leaks from roof,shower storage area. So many other things I don't want to waste readers time with. Just want to say I WILL NOT EVER buy another Thor product and would not recommend them to anyone. I don't know how it left the factory with so many problems! It looks like we will end up in a Lemon Law court due to leaks in roof that is causing damage to the coach and resale problems. Just wished someone else would have posted about Thor before I spent $80,000.00 for our retirement joy of traveling.Sorry just had to vent.

Sorry for your problems .. but these days having issues with new rigs is becoming the norm. Roof issue/water intrusion is a BIG DEAL and not acceptable by any std -- other stuff is pretty common and many experienced RVers will fix it themselves either because they don't want to waste the time or don't trust the dealer to get it right.

Sounds just like the 2013 ACE 27.1 I had. Water leaks, shoddy workmanship, etc. Had it 3 months, most of the time at the dealers having things fixed. Took a loss and traded on a Winnebago Vista 27N. Not happy about loosing the money but very happy to see the ACE go.Every time I posted about it I was accused of Thor bashing.

You may want to check your states Lemon Law statutes. I think you will find only the chassis portion of the motorhome is covered, not the house part. However, a lot of states have a commercial product liability of purpose law that can be pursued, it's just a lot more work for an attorney, that's why it's seldom used in these cases.

You would be surprised, at how many RVs are considered total loss with their insurance just from water leaks. Check out Coparts.com, accident salvage yards.Neil

Thanks for the replies! I have been researching the Florida RV Lemon Law. It says if the problem is causing a loss in value that it falls in Lemon Law statue. I think a leaking roof from the factory that is running in the walls is a great case! I will fight this JUNK RV builder as long as my wallet will let me if the law fails! The RV family needs to stand up to these builders and not just trade in and take a loss!
