Challenger 37KT is one of a kind when it comes to floor plans. Been enjoying and sleeping in ours daily since late Dec and won't get home till OCT. Sure we had things that needed fixing and still do. BUT nothing that took away from our daily activities or enjoyment. Selling dealer selection is IMPORTANT as is the servicing dealer. If it is possible - pick best of each. I didn't see anything in the price range that was any better equipped and from past experience we know Thor will stand behind their products. One thing different about Challenger line is that it is built in Thor's diesel plant. Good luck with your search.
Well we have a Challenger but ours was built before Thor took over Damon. I really think they are an excellent value. We love ours. I haven't read anywhere about any issues in recent Challenger MH's since Thor took over. I assume that they're still made in the same factory. Thor has had issues with other brands they manufacture...
A search of this forum using the term "Thor Challenger" or just "Thor", will give you results pro and con. We don't own one and Thor products have never been on our short list of manufacturers.
