First off be frugal on the price you pay to buy your Synergy 24tt. With proper negation you can drive away with the Mercedes chassis RV for under $80,000 plus tax. Yep lists out at up to $150,000 but a good shopper/negoatiator can do it. The Synergy tt24 is an awesome road vehicle. I have owned other RV's but nothing drives as good as the Mercedes chassis. I experienced a plethora of quality issues with mine and it's a 2017. Here is a list of past or present issues. If you need further detail on anything just ask.
Power control switch
Roof leaking
Bath door magnet pulled off
Dash radio reception good parked terrible driving
Coach door becoming misaligned
Interior molding at truck to coach joint cracked
Low point drain in really dumb inaccessible place
Water filter in really dumb inaccessible place
Handles pulling off bath doors
Microwave use requires you to get on your knees
Exterior storage door alignment
Buy Remi Shades from a Winnebago dealer, expensive but so worth it. Gives you quick easy front cab privacy and a feeling of more room when camping.
We bought this July and have had it on the road this summer for almost 4 weeks. Made trips from Northwest Indiana to Texas, Wyoming and South Dakota. The chassis is flawless and even though we bought this because the wife would not drive the former 33' RV I only gave up the wheel for maybe 3 hours total all summer. It really is comfortable to drive. Do I like it? Yes I do, I actually love it. I am however very disappointed in all the quality repair issues I have been through and still need attention. I'm telling you now, if you have to pay somebody to comb through absolutely everything in and on the RV do it. The dealer will fix everything before you take delivery and maybe a few days after. Beyond that you will wait weeks-months for the dealer to fix stuff and many many months for Thor company repairs in Elkhart. In fact Thor quoted me 3-4 months before the next available appointment. If you don't want to end up pissed off like I was (and it ruins your fun and makes you feel stupid for spending so much money on junk) be willing to fix minor stuff yourself. No, it's not fair or right but you will feel better in the end.
I like the king bed set up in the rear. We have small dogs and they love it too. I pull a golf cart or Harley most of the time and you can't really tell you're pulling anything. The rear camera view is real handy as are the side cameras which I also highly recommend. Careful rotating the drivers seat, the wiring harness breaks and we had to have it fixed. With this diesel you'll get around 6,000 miles before you have to refill the DEF.
I wash it and wax it and love the way it looks. We ordered it without the "Synergy" lettering emblazoned on all four sides. (Yep the factory left them off) It's Ming Blue although it's really such a dark blue/grey it's almost black.
We get lots of attention at campgrounds and filling stations. We parked on the beach at South Padre Island Texas and several people stopped and wanted to know what we had and where we got it. Lots of compliments all the time so that kind of offset all the bull rap we had to get fixed.
Good luck on your purchase. If I can help further just ask.
