Thor Forums

[Larry Mac]

Hello,

I'm also new and like you I was stunned to see so many complaints for Thor. I purchased a Miramar and my wife is handicapped and we had to install a Burr Lift it's electric not Hydraulic and the dealer La Mesa RV in Albuquerque did an excellent job.

My problem has been the baggage doors they won't lock and a couple locked but would not open so I got Thor to send me two new locks because I had to drill a hole in them to find out how to pick them open. I did a little investigating on those lock and there is very little grease on the latch. there was no loctite used on the screws to hold the latch so a little vibration and the lock latch falls off inside the lock.

I also had the entrance door open in traffic it has opened several times, I'm still working on that I been busy with the 13 baggage doors.For now I use a bungee cord on the door after I get in so it won't swing open in traffic and hit something.

One of best thing I ever did was purchase some "How to" videos from Mark Polk RV's 101 I sure had a lot of aw moments watching those. There sure a lot of angry people mad at Thor but, maybe we can help each other by asking questions. And telling others how we fixed a particular problem.

Thanks,

Larry Mac,
