On another thread, I mentioned being interested in a new Thor. A reply mentioned "good thing it has a warranty, you'll need it". I know around here opinions are like noses, but does anyone have anything definitively good or bad to offer about the Thor line, specifically the gassers in the 34 foot range? I was interested when Mondooker said he was looking at a Windsport 35 but no more comments on that thread.
Thanks as always, Fred

I had a 5th wheel made by Thor and was impressed that ten years on I could order body parts for the trailer that weren't part of the on board systems like water heaters and such.

Two year old class C had one 12 volt clearance light issue that required warranty scheduling which was approved and handled by Thor via authorized dealer. Other than that only experienced a few very minor trim issues that were easily owner-corrected without scheduling an appointment and the logistics hassle,

I can only speak from my one experience with a Thor product which I bought used, and was the third owner. It was a 2000 Hurricane 30Q, 31 ft, no slides, just your basic motorhome. Most of the issues I had with the thing can be directly traced to owner maintenance, or lack thereof. All the components/ appliances worked fine after 14 years. AC unit died in year 15. Had some issues with the chassis (Workhorse) and not related to Thor.

The only fault I attribute to Thor was the drawers and some cabinets not being very well built. This may all have changed in later years. I have nothing bad to say about my experience with the 30Q.

When we went looking for our new unit, we looked at some Thors, but opted for the Newmar. We liked the size/floorplan/fit & finish of the Newmar just a bit more than a comparable Thor.
