We have had our 2016 Thor Freedom Elite 23H for a few months now. After our first trip we installed a few things that we learned about on this forum.
1. Before our first trip we sealed the rear wheel wells with some spray foam to prevent water intrusion between the plastic and the fiberglass.
2. We had the front end alignment done. Necessary because the Ford alignment is done before the coach is put on the chassis. We noticed some slight wear on one front tire after a long trip.
3. Installed the Road Master steering stabilizer, which made a huge difference in steering and handling compared to our first trip.
4. We put a 5 inch foam mattress underneath the factory mattress, personal preference. It does make the mattress taller but the 5 inch is what we had from our travel trailer that we traded.
5. Installed a tire pressure monitoring system.
The only thing that we have had a problem with was after 3,900 miles we had a small water leak under the kitchen sink. Which we fixed ourselves. Just took the sink up and tightened a loose fitting.
The bluetooth microphone on our model is less than desirable. We now use an earpiece bluetooth after getting reports that people could not understand us very well.
We have been very happy with the Freedom Elite. It is so much better than pulling a travel trailer on our long trips. If we had known what a motor coach was like a few years ago we would have purchased sooner.
