Put me down for being a Thor advocate. We purchased a 2004 Country Coach Inspire new, the lowest end model of a high end maker, not an inexpensive unit just CC's low end, what a mistake!!!! By 2007 we traded it on a new Mandalay, the high end model of Thor. What a difference, we have had nothing but great things to say from the day we owned this unit. The moral for me is buy the high end of a lower maker rather than a low end of a higher maker. Thor takes pride in their higher units, for sure there was no pride in the Inspire we had. Dollar for dollar our Mandalay was the best unit on the market. Very seldom will you find an unhappy Mandalay owner. You can always pay more not sure you always get more. Best of luck as never an easy decision.
