Downsizing

[JackInAZ]

Considering downsizing from a 36 foot Sightseer to a much smaller 28 foot or so, possibly a Thor Class A. I realize we would be giving up many amenities but at 80 towing a car is difficult and we would use the smaller RV for in-town transportation if a rental is unavailable. Having said that, all you experts, I have 2 questions: 1. Do you have any knowledge of service issues with Thor beyond those expected in the first-year warranty? 2. Have you dealt with Camping World? I read that, although they are spread throughout the US, they are incredibly slow in servicing their customers.

I have also downsized and ditched the toad and get around using the moho.

I highly suggest to take a look at the small class As and Cs made by Winnebago before buying a Thor product. Good luck!

WHY DIFFERENT ?? ~~~ "Sunspots" ~~ "Time of Day " ~~ "Phase of the Moon" ~~ "NO Good Reason at ALL" JM2¢ ~~~ YMMV

there are a lot of anti thor and camping world posts on this forum. do a search and read about them for the next month. I quit dealing with CW back in the 80's. I would not by a thor unless it were given to me. I was going to buy a MH and did not when I found out thor bought them out.

I think the Camping World question will depend on the Camping World location. Some are great, others not so much.

My .02, I have dealt with CW twice on two different Class-As at two different CWs and the follow-up to issues under warranty was AWFUL. And I couldn't take it to another local RV dealer, since we didn't purchase it there. My MIL bought a small Class A from this other local dealer and received great warranty service, things fixed the first time correctly. CW will jerk you around, I will never go back if we trade again. My last issue took 1 year to resolve. Never again! Just search for Camping World on this forum, and the horror stories are all over the forum, and other forums.
