My brother has that Splinter with Mercedes Chassis by Midwest RV. It is very nice and I was surprised he pulled the trigger on it. He had a few issues as well, but for the most he had no issue with the dealer. It basically is a Custom Van. In fact, he brings it to my place to keep things going and some of the workings that he don't care to drill down to.
With that said, and as nice as it is. It is too small for us by a mile. I chauffeured my daughter and about 7 of hers friends on Prom night all over Dallas. I was up to 5:00AM. They got a kick of it as they had 4 different venues to attend. It was pretty much sit somewhere and be still; or one person moving at a time. IThey didn't care they just wanted to get to where they were going,
The Thor Quality issues that I have seen from brand new units has just not settled well for me. I did my usual anal review in a Winneabago 29VE. I only found 1 thing to add to a punch list if I were to buy and it was very minor. The door under dinette bench that covered breakers/fuses would fall off too easily.
Now the cost / benefit question. It cost $12k more than the Thor 27B. But if I go by the MSRP value alone, it is only $5k more for the Winnebago. I get all things can fixed, but I really don't want a new anything having to spend 2 years or so fixing stuff. I just want an RV for the few times that I do use; it works like it is suppose; to and if it does not, a dealer that cares to help fix.
