Thor Forums

[The Gritz Carlton]

While at the Wakarusa Amusement Park I was told the mid-range plans for Thor (and a few others) is to reduce the number of floor plans in lineups. This will allow more uniform raw materials across the models, eliminate so many wiring harness differences and and lots of other things that cause so many issues in the build process. When every other coach coming down the line is a different make/model, things get mixed up. Three years ago Open Range (my previous TT) started building groups of "like models" vs the every other model being different. It reduced their errors and warranty issues by over 70% in 6 months. New buyers didn't see the older floorplans you/we fell in love with, so they (older floorplans) won't make a difference in their choice today. Eliminating so many floorplans is a great idea and will help dealers keep most everything Thor offers in stock...reducing buyers from flying 1,000 miles away from home to get what they want. Complex solution to complex problem.
