I'm want the technology and air suspension. I do not want to be overloaded when fluids, gear and 5 passengers are added and with that thought I want the best fit for the 1500 which may not be the best fit for the 2500. Payload for 1500 appears to be 1780.Re: Chevy 350 V8 Big Enough engine?You're dangerously overloaded with "7 of us traveling in this unit with luggage" and probably don't have legal safe seating for seven, especially kids!!! Check the sticker on the driver's door jam. It will tell you what's safe/legal.Re: In the market !!PER COACHMEN LEPRECHAUN: Ford 260DSF has 7500lb hitch capacity and Chevy 260DCC is 5000lb. MAJOR DIFFERENCE... DSF has more CCC... DSF has shorter wheelbase and overall length which equates to better handling rating per rv.org ... All THINGS ARE NOT EQUAL... and I bought a 2018 DSFRe: New BuyerI Canceled the order. Love the floorplan and Ford 555 chassis. But I don't want to spend six months or more getting Thor's manufacturing defects corrected. MHSRV's service department is an oxymoron.Re: New BuyerThanks again for all the replies. Motor Home Specialist's Sales Agreement say it's "SOLD AS IS", meaning MHSRV waives all responsibility for correcting the manufacturer's defects regardless what the salesman and their tech says...They do say they do warrantee work for Thor, but that doesn't mean they look for it. "Trust and Verify" - Ronald ReaganRe: New BuyerFirst, thanks everybody for your postings. My delivery was scheduled for last Friday and I had a checklist from your postings and an RV technician with me. We found 11 manufacturing defects. MHSRV couldn't fix all the defects by closing time, so I went home. Most interesting one was I had them top off the fuel tanks to check for the filler pipe vent issue and one filler kept kicking back and overflowing. Working all day Saturday they diagnosed it as a kink in the filler hose. Monday morning when they were fixing the hose they discovered the fuel tank was full and tank was reading empty so they sent it to the Ford dealer to fix the fuel gauge. Going back in January to finish the delivery inspection.Re: New BuyerIts a 2017 Thor Chateau Super C 35SF on a Ford F550 chassisNew BuyerHigh all- I have a deposit on a 2017 (2016 chassis) Thor Chateau 35SF with 1 +1/2 bath. Are there any showstoppers I should look for at delivery and insist Dealer fix before I accept the vehicle? I will have a technician with me for the test drive and to inspect for some of the issues from this forum. Two items where I would really appreciate comments are: 1.Could rear bath configuration cause a handling problem and how can it be corrected? 2.How can we test for drive train vibration and who is best to fix it?
