Thor Pallazzo

They upgraded the Palazzo to 95 gallons of fresh water....they did this several months ago. See their web site for all capacities. Looks like a winner for Thor.

For my situation, the Tiffin Allegro Red 33A is worth the extra $$. If I could afford it, I'd buy a Phaeton.

Look at the specs. Thor upgraded tank capacities. Much larger now.

If Thor would provide their electrical, plumbing, and other diagrams online like Winnebago does, I may make them my next choice. Not sure how they can provide good technical support when they send you the wrong and incomplete information for your rig.

Found this one in Lakewood NJ at my Tiffin dealer. It is a nice little pusher.

Found one in New Jersey:

Several Palazzo owners here...most like their units, some are having problems as you would expect. It seems to me the earlier made models are having problems but are being corrected as more units are built.

I spent two hours (my third trip) at my local CW going over the 33.1. I don't like the couch/bed thing....not comfortable to sit on and a chore to fold out, blow out the mattress, etc. Narrow when traveling....

One thing that stopped me cold....four 6v deep cycle house and two 12v engine batteries....It would be a MAJOR chore to check their water levels or to remove them. They are not on a trey....are in a very narrow space.

Overall it is a nice, small DP. I like it as it would fit in my 30x40 barn...much longer and things get crowded. I might buy one.

Go to MHSRV.COM for prices and other mh units. This ia a HUGE Texas dealer in Alvarado, TX.

Taking a good hard look at this unit. Specifically the 33.3. Does anyone own a Pallazzo out there yet that can provide some good feedback? I have seen sparse reviews on these but I guess they are still quite new to see a lot of ownership. Talked to a dealer or two and feel like the price is very reasonable for a 34' DP especially with all the perks. I am told Thor will have these units at the Hershey show, but nothing tells you more about a unit than the folks that have miles on them. Any insight would be helpful.

Model 33.1

I see that. Good eye. I was partial to the 33.3 though and it looks like it's not an issue on that one (or the 33.2). Traveling comfort is almost as important to me and my fam as camping comfort.

I've looked at the Palazzo, and must say, they've addressed a lot of the issues/reasons why I have never wanted anyuthing to do with diesel pushers.

Shorter length and wheelbase to allow you to get into the more rustic parks, door moved back where it should be (NOT in front of passenger seat like a school bus, LOL)....I like it. Now, if they could just put a window on the back wall in the bedroom...I could be tempted some time in the future by a unit like that.

BTW, why is it, that nobody can seem to make a DP with a window on the back wall in the bedroom? Is there something about the engine being in the back, that makes it impossible for that back wall to have a window on it? I really, really like having a window on that back wall so you can see toward the back, but I've yet to ever see a DP with a window there.

I also have to agree with what was said earlier as well, as I wondered same thing about it: 'Tis very deceiving for them to put a 10,000 lb hitch on a MH that only has 4,000 lbs of GCWR capacity over GVWR. I'd be curious to see what this unit's curb weight is. Unless its OBSCENELY lower than that 26k GVWR....That 10k hitch is a waste and very deceiving.
