Yep I know a lot about the Palazzo, friends of ours have one. Hanky likes to call me out cuz I like my Thor and it's been trouble free. But it's a $70k entry level gasser and I know what to expect from that budget. Other than that, not sure what Hanky's issue is with me, maybe he secretly likes me. I guess you can't have any good experience with Thor, perhaps I should have checked with Hanky first.

Anyway, aside from 93Mastercrafts post and his horror story, my friends have a horror story of their own. Slide issues, paint issues, overall quality etc. The Palazzo is really the black eye of the Thor line. They have started using double rails on the slide and from what I heard that has helped, but essentially it's an ACE on a Freightliner chassis. But they are about the cheapest in terms of price so you get what you pay for. I like Thor and have been happy with our gasser and their support. But I would NOT buy a Palazzo. Look at the Excursion, Coachman Cross Country, Forza etc for comparable options in the same price range. I was actually pretty impressed with the Cross Country in that price range and would look there first if I was in the market for an entry level DP. That said, a schwintek slide is a schwintek slide no matter what box you put it in. Winnie has had some of the same slide issues on the Forza that plagued the Palazzo. But look at other options even if it means a little more cash. You'll get a better product. Does that surprise you Hanky?
