New MH buyers this may help

[pavemike]

We bought a new 2018 Thor Vegas 25.5 for $82,000 out the door, tax, tag, title. We put an additional &10,000 in upgrades and repairs since. Purchased from Le Mesa RV and had the only warranty work (leaking windshield) performed by Camping World. No more leaks, only minor issues here and there... Fixed by me. I could buy a new Renegade, $200,000+ but then I'd have to spend another $10-20,000 to make it what we want it to be. I'd rather just spend the $92,000 we have invested in our Thor and spend the other $120,000 or so we saved on THAT purchase to camp in State Parks and Army COEs at $12.50 per night to ENJOY our RV.
Complainer: OMG, My son has cancer, my daughter is a drug addict, my mother needs a liver transplant, my wife is anemic...God's QA process sucks!
What ever happened to folks buying an RV, going to campgrounds and actually enjoying sitting around a fire, burning hotdogs and marshmallows, sharing a bottle of bourbon and discussing how to "fix my RV tomorrow" with the folks parked next to us. Geez, RVing has taken a true downturn. No wait, I won't let it. I'm heading out this weekend to another state park and I'm going to relax and enjoy talking to my neighbors, watching the sun rise and set, enjoy a glass of Woodford Reserve and then fix the damn water pump the next morning. And, yes, I'll allow the total stranger stuck in the traffic jam on the way, to use my rest room because...they really need to pee!!!

Couldn’t have been said better. For those that feel they have be wronged by Thor I am sorry. Some are legit some seem like they just like to complain. If it isn’t working out for you then sell it. Right now with the inflated prices is the perfect time to sell. If not just go out and enjoy your camper. My wife and I have the best stories from when things don’t go as planned. That’s half the fun. Budget about 2k a year for Moho projects and just enjoy life. There are too many people I know my age dying off from all sorts of things. Enjoy life while you can.

Let me share a story.

Bought our first travel trailer from Camping World in Concord, NC about 4 years ago, a Mallard 32 something. A few months later we were t-boned on a Sunday coming home from Paris Mountain State Park. The week after we had a trip planned for 10 days to Disney, Fort Wilderness, every park pass upgraded, etc. Drove up to Camping World Monday AM. Talked to our sales guy, he said wait a minute, he got the head guy. Explained it again. The head guy said go pick something out on the lot. My wife came up, picked out an Outback 31 something (a nice TT). There was about a $8k difference. They worked it out for us. We went up that Saturday for our 4-5 hour inspection and towed it home.

Every interaction we've had with them has been solid. Bought a Thor a couple years after that from Camping World Spartanburg, SC (the Concord location only had a couple Jayco's that weren't what we were looking for). I drive it to places and on roads it shouldn't go.

I was only sharing my experience.

The picture is in the Keys last week. Thirteen hour drive home, the last 4 in an ice storm. She did just fine.

Happy camping to you!Attachment 35849
