Each time I hit the button to retract it the fuse blew. Turns out during the build of the unit a screw contacted one of the wires and it rubbed (evidently from driving vibration) into a dead short. Obviously a lack of quality from the manufacturer. Waiting to see what Thor does about it, and the dealer's had it a week already. This on top of the bathroom mirror falling off the wall in the bathroom. It was barely held by a couple of tiny brads. I re-insulated the doghouse as the original insulation was sloppily attached and only about half of it was there to begin with. The passenger window wouldn't lock. The press-board that the bed is on is too big and the edges are extremely rough, I've yet to fix that. A light over the dinette needed replacing. We are constantly finding screws, most of which we have no idea where they came from! I am on the verge of regretting our Thor purchase. Some things are expected when you buy new, but there has been more, since Thor has fixed these I left them out of this discussion. I will wait to see the outcome of Thor's decision and what else goes wrong. OH, I almost forgot...how could I?...the windshield leaks! The dealership that currently has the RV does not sell Thor, so will not work on it, (they are a repair center for the type of awning I had so will work on that).

It looks like you got a bad one. Let me share my experience with my new 2018 Hurricane 31s. On the trip home from the dealer in a rain storm both windshield wipers fell off! Since then there has been toilet leak, bunk bed over cockpit not in sink raising and lowering, emergency brake handle fell off inverter, converter, GFI switch, awning switch, all replaced. Outside kitchen sink doesn’t drain and I could go on but my fingers are getting tired. Fortunately, dealer has been very helpful but we’ve owned it since February and have only used it 11 days. Poor workmanship! They should be regulated by the government like the auto industry. Good luck!
