Thor Motor Coach Owners Club( tmcoc)

IMO, the thing that makes most groups useful are the people who visit there frequently who have experience. Other than that, next comes resources related to doing the things that members have in common. Maybe third is some connection or monitoring (bad word but I mean it in a positive way) by people from the business/company so that they can (1) react to posts and (2) be helpful.

don't we, at least in theory, have most all of that here already?

[JDHoge]

Yes, I think so. The idea of having the company participate or monitor is a mixed blessing, IMO. An interest group has to be more than a forum for complaints (although it should definitely allow for and support complaints) or become a place where company representatives apologize for misunderstandings and problems (although I understand that companies have a right to participate and are probably well advised to "listen in" on posts and attempt to clarify misinformation and resolve problems in direct one-on-one communications).

So, I think it is important to have a robust forum, one that allows for owner-to-owner interaction; one that offers good information and resources; one that calls out problems with dealers and/or manufacturers; one that is inclusive but one that also provides for some specialization of types and interests.

That's my two cents.

Blw2.
Why should you join? Well I'll give you my reason. I started this club so we could have a family of Thor Owners who share a common interest. What do you get out of joining you an, the best answer I can give you is Friendship. I am currently doing this by myself, used my own money for small things just to attempt to get this thing rolling. We currently have 250 members signed up. I don't know his long it will take to get things going to full force. We have held one meet and greet in Myrtle Beach and another at the IRV2 Carolina Campers can out this month. Check out our Facebook page for other info. If you have ideas please provide them. Thanks

One further point. This club is not run by Thor, it was started by me ( a Thor owner) for this Owners'. I have asked the for short as they sort the diesel club. This will be or club.

Facebook requires a login to see your page. I don't have one and don't plan on having one. They want too much personal information.
Why don't you put "other information" here.

[rvbunz]

I would like to use this forum as a platform, as soon as we can direct more members here.

I went to TMCOC.ORG and did not see a "Join Now" anything. All I saw was for sale links and ad links.

Is the URL wrong?

At first when I tried tmcoc.org I got something like "this site for sale" no such name lol. I tried www.tmcoc.org and it worked great. Stupid internet.

Lots of warranty issues that hopefully Steve Reed at Thor is going to be able to resolve and number one problem is install a new Generator because my new Motor Coach has over 300 hours on it because i cannot seem to turn off the system that starts the Generator when the batteries go low, even stays on when the House batteries are turned off! So General RV who knows nothing at all about the system, disconnected it from the generator to get me through until November 2nd when I take it down to Elkhart Indiana. They are being very reluctant to replace the generator! Sorry, it has been free wheeling with no load brand new for over 300 hours and the oil is burnt in the unit! Even took a sample in case I have to send it out to a lab to prove my point!

[EA37TS]

I would think your problem is not with the generator but rather with the Automatic Generator Start (AGS). More than likely it is wired incorrectly.

There was a fellow Challenger owner that had an AGS problem when he took delivery of his new coach and I believe it took the dealer a couple of weeks to pinpoint to issue.

I think it is a great idea. Also, with regards to FMCA, I think being affiliated with them is the perfect way to start. It gives some credibility and support from the parent organization. I know some RV'ers are reluctant to join another organization. However, think of it in terms of safety. I am retired PA Dept. of Corrections, and the one thing that I know for sure is that criminals look for an easy mark. If you have FMCA plates, Good Sam Member stickers, etc. you are advertising that you are an informed and most likely seasoned camper. That is not what the criminal element is looking for. They want newbies who they perceive as easy marks. Also, be careful what kind of bumper stickers you put on your unit. Something that says, 'I will give up my gun when they pry my cold dead fingers from it' tells the crook that you may have guns in the unit, thereby making it more desirable to break in when you leave. You are never going to make your unit burglar proof, but you can make your unit less desirable.
