Thor is about the same as any other manufacturer. The trick is to find a good dealer willing to work with you and not against you.
Our experience with Thor has been positive: Every phone call and e-mail to them has been returned with appropriate info and/or parts. They even called us a few months after our purchase to welcome us to the Thor family--surprised the heck out of me.
They do produce the odd rotten egg now and then (indeed some people who have gotten the bad egg from Thor will respond to your post strongly suggesting that you
never buy a Thor..we have a few of those on here).
The best advice is to be very thorough during your predelivery inspection and note every blemish, out-of-alignment cabinet, miswired fixture, plumbing failure, etc. for the dealer (remember find a good one) to fix. A good checklist will get you a long way. There are a couple of really good dealers that will let you stay the weekend on their lot to work out all the kinks.
They can be good coaches as long as you go in eyes wide open and ready (like the Cub Scouts: be prepared).
