THOR #13281
New to Thor, old to RVing !

Hi recently purchased a 2018 ACE 27.2.
It drives nicer and is easier to see out of than our previous rig which drove like a beached whale.
Many issues that should have been caught at Thor or even done right in the first place.
The dealership corrected several and has parts on order and received for our return. Nothing that kept it from being used and I did fix a few myself just like on the last rig.
We plan to take it on a big trip next Summer and are looking forward to it. I like the 6 speed trans and revised V10. I can actually use the cruise on this one.

The model numbers should include "WMI" for "With Minor Issues"..."Thor ACE 27.2 WMI", or in my case, "Thor Chateau 35SF WMI". It's more standard than having tires on them but you have the right attitude. Fix the things you can, have shops fix what you can't and keep on keeping on. Congratulations on the purchase!!

Welcome to the site, and I'm glad that the "Punch-List" is already being reduced!

Welcome. I agree with others, fix what you can. The process of going through your punch list of repairs will get you real familiar with the bones of the coach. We really like our 29M but wish we didn't have to do so many minor issue repairs.
