Chance is spot on. My Georgetown 351 would run 60 mph at about 2200 rpms. In my Challenger 37TB 68 MPH at 2200. Both F53 chassis but Georgetown had 19.5" wheels with a 228" wheelbase. Challenger has 22.5" wheels with a 252" wheelbase.

As I said earlier, spec changes or something in the setup really makes a huge difference in the drivability.

Relative to the noisy slide - go over to IRV2 Thor Forum. You will find a LOT of issues with the slide noise. For mine, it was being caused by the cable mechanism "slapping" under the slide cover as it goes from top to bottom. Jake Shell at Paul Sherry's kept after it until he ran it into a corner. He showed me a portion of the slide and there are 2 nylon mounting alignment pins that were broken. At the end of the day, Jake and his great crew actually wound up replacing the entire mechanism front and back. Then they carefully measured, squared and aligned the entire slide - bingo, bango, bongo - no more rattle.

I trusted my service department and Thor warranty teams that while the noise is annoying, it wasn't unsafe or inhibiting the function of the slide.

Hope that helps but the real help was a great service department along with Tom Overton and Mike Rind.
