Thor Motor Coach Palazzo reviews

We have had a few of these from Thor motorcoach, and their quality is always been outstanding. And the freight liner chassis with the 300 Cummins diesel engine has been an outstanding pair with the Allison transmission. We will buy another one. Show less

Expect SIGNIFICANT big ticket expenses. 15K or 20K bill, don't even blink when it happens. Not if.... but when. This is on a 2021 coach in 2023. The layout is perfect. I purchased a slightly used 2021 Palazzo in 2022. There was yellowing on the floor I couldn't clean up. The coach was barely out out of 12 month warranty. Turns out glue is coming thru the floor due to factory not preparing floor correctly. Requires complete floor replacement for the entire coach. 2021 model in 2023 Very challenging to have any level of communication with the warranty team. Completely one sided, all from the customer to get ANY response Many Many thousands of dollars to fix. Will not stand behind their construction. If you buy a new or used Thor expect to have a nice layout, but also expect SIGNIFICANT big ticket expenses. It might look ok, but understand you might have a 15 or 20K bill for underlying build quality issues (beyond the slide problems that are already well documented) Show less

The overall nice ride had a Fleetwood 40 ride that was much stiffer but is a low rider had to add heavy-duty rear wheels to prevent low rear bottom out. Show less

On my first drive with my Class A I felt overwhelmed with the steering so I immediately had a Safe-T-Plus system installed. Still not totally comfortable. At the dealership, I noticed the trim on the ceiling separating and the outlet on the front dash wouldn't stay on. They repaired the outlet, but due to closing told me I would have to bring it back to fix the trim. Driving home the outlet fell back out. I took it back to the dealer to repair the trim and it came back loose driving home. I drove 2 hours to take it back to the dealer and it came loose a second time. I decided to wait until I got all the warranty work done at another location. My first time driving in the rain it leaked at the bottom of two slides. Also, my brother realized there was a separation along the complete passenger side of the RV in the compartments. I put it in the shop for the warranty work and it took them over 6 months to do the repairs. When I picked it up and was checking over the work, the compartment separation was never touched. I contacted Thor at that point about taking it somewhere else for the repairs. I now notice the ceiling trim came loose again for the 4th time. After getting g it home from the dealer, I noticed the rear headlight was hanging out. Now the dash air condition is not blowing cold air, and I see the vent hose for the passenger side is laying on the floor. That is not it... One of the kitchen drawers would not stay close. I had to replace the lock as the installer put the screw in sideways and the lock wasn't engaging. The backup camera stopped working (No fault of Thor I found out), being told a squirrel must have chewed the wire. The new service location found this as the first told me it was a bad camera and needed to be replaced. They said that Thor rejected replacing it under warranty, Thor never got a request for the camera. Now I am having issues with Thor because the factory warranty has ended even though these items were discovered prior to the end date. This RV is trash.. I have had 2 travel trailers and a fifth-wheel toyhauler with no issues. I have had each for 2-4 years and traded up. This was a trade down. Show less

I Purchased a Thor product because I was told it had very good reviews but now after 5 to 6 years owning the vehicle I’ve had so many problems throughout the years and now all the material on the couch and all the chairs are deteriorating and cannot be fixed. I contacted Thor and they cannot help me they said but I also seen a lot of reviews with the same problem. Why is this happening Thor should stand behind their product I will pass this on to whoever ask me about this vehicle when camping Show less

This is the most spacious of the 2016 Palazzos, and it was wonderful for being full-timers, and for taking the grandkids along with us at times, and even their parents. The refrigerator held enough food for a month, and the convection/micro was perfect. It was nice having a bath and a half and the shower is very roomy. The storage space inside and out is unbelievable and we could bring everything we wanted. The location of the 2 TV's inside and 1 outside were perfectly placed for all to view. Our only complaint was the material they used for the furniture and faux tile by the kitchen sink, all fixable. We are the original owner and downsizing now that we are not full-timers anymore.

This is my 3rd class A and second Thor Class A. We now have 8k on this unit. I am pleased so far the unit's fit and finish matches and exceeds our last class A which was a Winnebago. We chose this one because we are high mileage rv users and feel like the cummins and freightliner aspect will suit our needs long term. So far the unit satisfies the power I need to pull our toad. We love the residential frig and the fact it has two AC UNITS which the last rv did not. My personal pleaser is the air ride that makes my role as driver more comfortable and the handling is better than the last unit built on a Ford Chassis...... As I look back at other reviewers I get the feeling Thor has continued their efforts to improve quality....My experience is that Thor has supported the local dealership in assisting me with minor warranty concerns...I do intend to buy additional warranty before my 12 months is over previous experience tells me that a when i had an ac unit go bad the warranty was well worth having.... I would recommend this unit and buy Thor again...i know all machines fail and wear.... hoping my satisfaction continues Show less

Loved the power of the diesel engine climbing the Rocky mountains pulling a tow vehicle behind. Also enjoyed the exhaust break on the transmission and the ability to downshift, working with the transmission so that unnecessary braking on the steep downgrades was not an issue. We found the unit spacious, convenient and comfortable to be in for long periods of time while traveling and camping. Dry camping was never a problem because of the water storage as well as the generator that runs off of the diesel with the def in it so that it doesn't smell like a nasty diesel. The generator also seemed very quiet to me. I loved the residential size refrigerator and freezer. I could easily pack for 2 weeks of travel without having to stop for supplies. With the three burner range and the convection oven/microwave I could cook anything that I wished to. The basement storage units are large enough to utilize and the pass-through storage unit with the sliding tray not only has a light in it so you can see in the dark it is also heated so if you are traveling in colder climates nothing freezes if you have the heat on. I actually named it the mother-in-law's apartment. This unit did everything we wanted it to do and never complained. If we were both physically able to continue RVing we would still have this unit and continue to enjoy travel. Show less

We have loved owning this motorhome. The power is very good and I hardly know I have anything towing behind it. We really like the floorplan on this model. We have only had 1 issue and that was with the firefly controller and a quick update from firefly fixed the problem. This coach drives and handles very well even at 75mph for the very few times I even did that because of traffic conditions. Mostly 65mph and the fuel economy there was good. Plenty of storage everywhere. Show less
