Top 10 things you love about your MH

[airforceret]

1) I don't have to get out in the rain
2) She doesn't have to get out in the rain
3) It has a generator
4) It's pretty stable without jacks or levelers
5) Snacks and drinks are accessible while on the road
6) The potty is accessible while on the road
7) Pretty easy to drive and park
8) It fits under most bridges
9) V10 provides plenty of power towing or not (8 MPG doesn't bother me at all)
10) We can visit stops along the way and don't need 70 feet to park.

1. Diesel pusher / Air ride
2. Fully self contained
3. 10.6 mpg
4. 4 down Jeep Toad setup/unhook under 5 minutes
5. Easy setup/takedown at campground
6. No payments
7. Diesel generator that purrs
8. Fun, easy to drive
9. Memories made on every trip
10. Upgrades making it our own

[RVwife]

In-spite of its initial foibles, there is a lot to love:

1. Generous kitchen counter without even using the flip up extra. This one factor literally sold us.
2. The great expansive of view from the cab. Why are we travelling after all, if not for this?
3. Perfect size for us and well thought out layout.
4. Very comfy bed. If DH says so it MUST be! But yes, I too do agree..
5. Nice ride & fun to drive.
6. Easy to maneuver into camp sites and tight spaces.
7. Easy to set up & take down.
8. Decent gas mileage @ 10-11 MPG.
9. Bathroom so easy to reach at 4AM. No tooddling to the outhouse.
10. Oh the stories we have told and laughed over that this "Mis-adventure*" have lead us too! (* See past posts for that.)
11. Looking forward to the next adventure very soon.

As of now it still works, even thought the SIM is now in a Pepwave Mini Max LTE-A.

[atreis]

1. Very easy and quick setup.
2. Ease of maneuvering and driving.
3. Storage - pantry, cupboards, overhead cabinets, closets, drawers, outside storage. For the size, there's a lot.
4. Decent sized holding tanks.
5. Flexible bed and seating space, and lots of lapbelts.
6. Comfortable bed.
7. Comfortable sofa.
8. Plenty of counter space.
9. USB outlets EVERYWHERE. LOL!
10. Included solar panel and controller.

2016 Freedom Elite 28h

Things we love in random order:
1. It's corgi approved
2. Size and floorplan is perfect for us (including stepping over sleeping corgi when necessary)
3. Large "basement " storage for bbq, chairs, firepit, toolbox, corgi jail, etc.
4. Kenwood DDX6706s we replaced Axxerra with
5. All vinyl flooring for ease in cleaning as almost all trips are to California beaches
6. Tows our Jeep Wrangler like it's not even back there -- quick look at the rear camera says it's still there
7. Ease in getting into almost any RV park or campground since it's less than 32 feet
8. USB charging station is very handy
9. 42" TV is nice if we're not too tired from fishing, hiking, beachcombing to watch it
10. Being retired so we have more time to enjoy it

It's not perfect but it comes pretty close!

[DaveBiles]

6. Tows our Jeep Wrangler like it's not even back there
7. Added steering stabilizer, now it is easy to drive

1- I love the recliner loveseat I installed. Great relaxing seating.
2 - I love the ROKU smart TVs we installed and their placements - No twisted head TV watching.
3 - I love the "Rolling WIFI" setup using the $20 Connected Car Plan AT&T rolled out a few years ago with the Mobley dongles.
4 - I love the king size bed and bedroom storage layout.
5 - I love the outside storage availability.
6 - I love the second A/C installation in the bedroom.
7 - I love the Inverter convenience when traveling and boondocking.
8 - I like the way the MH drives with the Roadmaster steering Stabilizer.
9 - I like the size & layout of the bathroom.
10 - I like how well our absorption fridge works - keeps ice cream hard and at/below 32 degrees in the fridge - and that's even with it in the slide so no top vent.

What is rolling att? And wifi?

Did you need sound bar or TV sound nice with base?

Same here! The shower is accessible on the road too... I've taken a shower in a rest stop before.
I added leveling jacks though.

2018 Thor Vegas 25.5


1) We LOVE the fact that the only issue we have had with our Thor Vegas (Yes, "THOR"!!!) was a leak from the windshield 3 months in. Windshield seal replaced under warranty and no other issues (except a recent generator shutdown...clogged fuel pump, easy).
2) We love that it was easy to replace the 6.1cf RV absorption fridge with a 10.3cf residential compressor fridge (day 1).
3) We love that it was easy to replace the convection/microwave with a convection/toaster/air fryer oven.
4) We love the rear bathroom with twin beds forward of it. Lots of room in both.
5) We love the storage, inside and out. 27 foot motorhome and we carry everything we need.
6) We love that we can tow the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with lots of stuff and stay well under weight (OCCC and tow capacity).
7) We love the ride and drivability with Safety Plus and Hellwig sway bars. We don't get pushed around, good alignment by La Mesa at purchase.
8) We love the TOGO/Wineguard with Cricket data plan. We have had great internet service.
9) We love the view!!!
10) We love sitting under the armless awning with a glass of bourbon, talking to neighbors, watching the wildlife and fish jumping, enjoying the lake/river/mountain views. After all, isn't that why we bought these money pits?

The only thing we don't like is the decals. Too many and they start fading and looking bad. We are in process of removing them, having simple ones added, having it polished again, then going to Vinneys Airstream in Tallahassee to have the nano-shield ceramic coating applied. If you watch Long Long Honeymoon on YouTube, you know who Vinnies is. They recently opened a shop in Florida!

2022 Thor Tiburon 24RW

1. Floorplan - The one-of-a-kind floorplan on a Sprinter Class C. While common on Class A's and larger Class C's, this isn't found anywhere else on Sprinters.
We love that there are three completely separateable sections: The bedroom completely closes off with the accordian door. The bath ensuite can completely close off with both the accordion door and the double bath door (that seals off the bath from the kitchen. Then there is the front "Great Room" (dinette, recliner, kitchen).

2. Third Generation Sprinter VS30 - We held out for the new Sprinter. The adaptive controls are a game changer. Seven-speed transmission, new seating controls, advanced headlights and a cool new windshield wiper system. Best of the new Sprinter features is the MBUX infotainment system.
Fun tip: Try to get the "Hey Mercedes" AI to say the word "LINCOLN".

3. Mira Vegatouch Control system - Slideouts, lights, awning, furnace, air conditioning, Genny auto controls and others all from one panel or from your phone.

4. Auto levelers - Once trained, you just push one button. Done.

5. Diesel Generator - No need to keep refilling the LP tank (we can go a month or so on a tank). The fuel is shared with the vehicle and we don't have to worry about it at all.

6. Tables - We work from the road full-time. We can setup our computers at the dinette, or the new mini-table between the cab turn-around seats.

7. Bed/Bedroom - The bed is fully self-contained in it's own bedroom. Many Sprinter Class C's have murphy bed setup or twin or J-beds. All these share space with kitchen and other living areas. I did not like the idea of sleeping next to a refrigerator or across from the control lights of a microwave oven.

8. Size - We're 26'8" sitting on a Sprinter. Were small enough to get in almost anywhere: parking lots (2 spaces), parallel parking, small alleys, etc.
We're nimble enough to spin a U-turn almost anywhere.

9. No TOAD - Part of being nimble is the fact that we don't tow a second vehicle. Occasionally we rent a car for a few days. Over the course of a year, we'll still pay considerably less than anyone towing another car. No second: insurance, registration, purchase, maintenance, fuel, repairs, etc. No unhooking to backup. No purchase of hitching systems, braking systems, etc.

10. It looks cool - Class C's on Ford Ecoline chassis' look like you uncle's camper from 1974. Super C's still look like a Freightliner. Class A's look like a breadbox on wheels.
A Class C on a Sprinter looks sleek and cool.

I have owned the Thor Synergy Mercedes Sprinter and now now the Thor Class A Tuscany. I liked everything about my Benz RV except the small interior space. As far as class A’s looking like a bread I don’t think mine looks like a bread box unless you know of a very attractive bread box.

01) did old fit out door or removed door? Besides size and other advantages? What brand?

02) what is this? Cost?
