Hi I'm in the process of purchasing my first class a motorhome I have been doing a lot of research. I've narrowed down to three manufacturers Winnebago Newmar and Thor. I am curious about if there's any feedback regarding Thor industries and the reliability and serviceability of the Products. Particularly The Ventana and the Ventana LE. Thank you

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.

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.

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.

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 interested in feedback on Newmar and Winnebago?

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