Thor is a crapshoot...I have a friend that just traded his Charleston in on a Tuscany...average with the usual not major things that need adjusting..Also, Thor is a big bang for the buck with what you get....so you get more glitz...Bad side is that at the beginning of the use of the SCHWINTEK slides, there were mega issues. if this 2013 has a SCHWINTEK slide that has not already been modified by Thor under original warranty...that could be a pain point. Do a google on schwintek slides and you will see the issues...although they claimed to have done a modification and have not heard of issues lately...
We have the SCHWINTEK slide system on both our bedroom slides. I don't know if they are 'the new and improved system' or not. I think most problems arise from folks not understand how the system works. Not operating the slide correctly will cause the slide motors be become out of sync. Stopping the slide before it opens or closes completely can cause a timing problem. Retiming the slide motors is easy and is covered on this YouTube video.
Schwintek retiming a slide
I've had to do this just once after getting our Phaeton. No telling how the previous owner used the slide. So far no problems since then. But there's always tomorrow...
