New SV34!

Hi folks,
We just traded our Solitude fiver for the Thor Magnitude SV34. Sad to see my F350DRW go, but I'm a grownup now. :-(

Downsizing RVs is like downsizing houses! It is amazing how much stuff we packed into that 375RES!

I'm looking to learning from ya'll about these coaches!

We went from a 5er to a 29 ft class A. Yes, it’s amazing how much stuff. So now, instead of 6 SS beer mugs, we only carry 4. Hope you enjoy.

Congratulations!

You might want to read member Judge's thread on upgrading his failing Schwintek slide motors with those from Vroom. See: https://www.thorforums.com/forums/f2...v34-28659.html.

The Schwintek slide system is notorious for failing on large, full wall slides like the SV34 has.

There are two locations to have this work done: the factory in Tuscon and an authorized installer, Connecticut Motor Coach. Maybe combine it with a leaf peeping trip up to the NE this fall.

WOW...let's just sucker punch him in the gut right up front. Yes, there have been a few people with serious issues but for the most part, and since 2015/2016 with the onset of the 3-Trax System, they seem to work pretty good. I've ad no issues in 3 years. It's a high end built unit and a cut above the average glued and stapled boxes. Enjoy the ride and post here...IF...you have issues. There's always a solution moments away.

A sucker punch is for no reason.

There are enough failures with Thor’s use of a Schwintek slide to make notice of it.

Tell it like it is instead of sugar coating the problem.

You are one of the lucky ones.

No punch here

Welcome to the motorized coach club, I had two 40’ DP then a huge North Point 383FKWS and then went back to motorized (Magnitude RB34. Complete different Rv lifestyles. Nothing like getting a fresh hot cup of coffee while driving down the road, if your purchase came with a wife included.

Try to make the best of each day.
