2017page=2 Thor Motor Coach reviews

The size of our Vegas 24.1 is perfect for parking in metro areas, running errands then slipping back into the camp ground; easy to drive, it handles like a Suburban. The Ford chassis is awesome: the 6.8L V-10 engine pulls like a locomotive! Six speeds allow a gear for every hilly situation without over-revving or bogging the engine. Smaller, lighter weight class A on a proven chassis with great towing capabilities, and a low center of gravity for SUV-like handling, makes for an attractive package. Heated tanks allow easy 3 season use. Rear and side mirror cameras are great! Fold-down laptop space for the passenger is awesome! Wish every RV had it! Perfect size between teenie Class B and a 48-foot bus and handles better than a Class C ever could. The 24.1 is a great model because you can access the king-size bed on the road anytime without having to stop and extend a slide. Doors on the bathroom effectively double the size of the area when open and allow privacy, front and rear. Huge panoramic windshield, great swivel captain chairs up front, perfect drop down bed and couch that together sleeps 3 additional people. Outdoor entertainment system, outside shower, 3 burner stove, convection oven, microwave, great sleep area for master room! Plenty of room inside and out for two, we would never need anything larger. We owned an older Class C before and disliked the overhang at the front and sides of the cab, limiting the view. Shower is nominal (27” x 27”) and so is kitchen sink. Headlights and fog lights are almost impossible to access and provide truly inferior illumination, even after replacing all the bulbs with high-end, high-watt LEDs. The tiny diameter of the lights is the problem; a perfect example of functionality being sacrificed for styling aesthetics. And changing them to anything else would take some major fabrication way beyond the average RVer’s capabilities. Thor’s quality control also leaves a lot to be desired: fresh water tank hole shavings plugged the screen at the water pump reducing shower and faucet pressures to a mere trickle, kitchen faucet hold-down ring broken, factory worker pistachio shells found under the master bed, under the kitchen sink and even in the engine compartment under the doghouse!!! Outside are decals that split and crack within the first year because Thor was too cheap to paint them on or use UV-resistant decal material and clear-coat them with UV-resistant clear-coat, kitchen cabinets that won’t stay shut around a corner because of misalignment of the catches, wallpaper in the bathroom) that peels up at the first shower (who puts wallpaper in a hot humid wet area???), etc. Thor mediocrity atop a truly exception chassis and drive train. To me, it was worth it, overall, and I would make the purchase again. But plan on spending a fair amount of time and money to correct the factory’s inferior quality control. Show less

We have loved this model it has been a great starter RV for camping and towing. So easy to drive and park anywhere. I think a unit that is maintained will last. The one issue I have is the wear of the seats in the cab. We actually replaced with a better seat cover directly from Thor. Not one just thrown over the seat but actually replaced. I think these will Hold up better. I haven’t had any leaks but have had to replace drawer latches. I know thats something that even the higher quality and higher priced units have had a problem with as well as they break overtime. Some of the higher priced units also had problems with their furniture material wearing and peeling. Hopefully Thor has a better manufacturer than when these were originally put in. I know the new seat covers certainly appear to be a better material. I think all these RV companies need to do a better job on wear and tear just like Car manufacturers . We have had nothing but a good experience with our unit. It’s a 2017 and still runs great and looks great, but it’s been well cared for well-maintained and is in a covered area at all times when not in use. I would buy the same unit again. Show less

Shame on you, Thor industries! We paid thousands of dollars for this motorhome and we’re on a fixed income. We had to have a wall reattached that was falling off: trim falls off while I’m cooking: the upholstery is disintegrating; the flooring is peeling up, and the stripping on the slide out is peeling up. We have to do constant maintenance just to use the RV. Show less

If you want junk you buy Thor. If you want poor quality, poor workmanship and leaks, buy a Thor. We purchased in 2018 and have hardly used the RV. It only has about 6,500 miles on it and we got it new having 2,200 miles on it from driving from the factory. Both slides are sealed horribly and leak every time it rains. The insulation and overall sealing is awful. There are several through holes which are not sealed. The electrical connections are the worst I have ever seen and almost burned the Rv up. The black holding tank almost fell off due to poor supports. All the rails for the sliding door and the curtains are screwed into the ceiling fiber with zero backing. The lights and other electrical wires were excessively long and dangling. The windows leak air and when it rains. The kitchen sink drain is improperly installed. The drain needs to have a slop down and it’s installed going up and in an unreachable location to fix without tearing out half the kitchen. Basically this Thir RV is a POS and I would advise to not purchase a Thor product. Read the reviews anc you will see the commonality in issues with Thor RV’s Show less

The Mercedes chassis & cab have had excellent performance, however Thor's quality control regarding workmanship and quality of furnishings and equipment is horrible! *The captain's seats and the couch faux leather upholstery pealed with zero compensation or help from Thor. *The Axxera radio and backup camera is unusable junk. *The bathroom faucet was missing fasteners. *All the wiring under the coach has unprotected squeeze connectors, many of which had to be replaced. *The coach is deafeningly noisy on the highway. *Access to the bathroom is almost impossible when the slides are in. *Obviously no Thor engineer has ever tried to access the spare tire buried under the coach when needed for a flat repair! ....I could go on, but the above at least makes clear that Thor has no conscience when it comes to charging premium $ for shoddy products.

We've had no problems that weren't typical to RVing. Overall solid rig. Perform the scheduled maintenance and know how everything works before you write negative reviews. This rig did everything we bought it for. No problems. It's not the taj-ma-hall but it also didn't cost $100k+. Affordable, maneuverable, and easy setup and tear down. Abundant storage space. Good size gas/propane/gray/black/freshwater tanks. The instant water heater is a + not limiting the shower time due to small water heaters. Propane and electric options for stove and refrigerator are very convenient. The position of gray & black tank valves are enclosed ++. All in all very well designed. Show less

Do not, I repeat, do not purchase a fpos thor. Component quality = junk, build quality = junk. You will have no joy Will spend endless hours on repairs that are covered by Thor and infinite $$$'s fixing the defects Show less

If you want to buy junk, you buy Thor. Purchased new summer 2018. Used very little, garaged. There’s more unsealed and leaking point than a spaghetti strainer. The slides leak air and water. Windows leak air and water. The black tank almost fell off because of sloppy installation thank god I spotted a leak on a trip. The outlets are all hooked together so if you try and have the toaster on and another appliance the breaker trips. Horrible insulation and interior trim. Cheap countertops with sharpe edges. Cheap faucets already changed both. Wiring hanging loose all throughout undercarriage. If you’re looking to purchase a motorhome, DO NOT PURCHASE A THOR PRODUCT. Show less
