Of the three you listed, Newmar is in a class by itself.

I'd put in order to look at: Newmar, Winnebago, and a question mark on Thor.

You're not interested in feedback on Newmar and Winnebago?

I bought a Vegas 24.1 from a dealer in Michigan while traveling there last May. I have had nothing but good to say about it. I have had ZERO problems.

While you will see many negative comments about the way they are built I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO BE ANOTHER THOR PRODUCT!!! This is my 8th motorhome. From campers, travel trailers, class a, class b and class c. This is the best one so far. Have had Tioga, Flair and Pace Arrow.

Certainly this is not the best on the market. But it makes us happy!

Good luck with whichever coach you choose.

You're not comparing apples to apples. You're looking at three different levels (price point) of coach. I would pick the price point you want to be at and look at comparable coaches at that price.

We owned a Thor product for 9 yrs with no issues. Three years ago we traded for a new Winnebago coach and it seems that there is an issue every time we turn around. Don't know about Newmar, but don't cross off Thor without a close look.

Back 10 years ago when I was thinking new Class A, Newmar and Tiffin were my top two. Both have a reputation for great customer service. It has only been in the past two years I've started to notice a few complaints about Newmar but I don't know if that's indicative of a trend.

Thanks to all for your feedback. I looked at the Venetian (Thor), The Forza(Win)and The Ventana (Newmar) all relatively in the same price range along with size. I heard more about Newmar and Winn. but hardly anything about Thor. I like what I've seen in the Thor coach but concerned about reliability and servicability history by ownwers who have this or other prducts of Thor. I don't want to buy a vehicle with all the bling and it's structure quality doesn't hold up. I did visit the Newmar factory and 2 things caught my eye the floor construction is wood frame and they used residential insulation (R30) in the roof and side walls which I heard could present a problem with sagging over time. I don't know,just trying to get as much info as possible to make intelligent decision.

Ask this question over on the Thor Owners forum board, plenty of reading on Thor's quality both good & bad.
