Unlike cars, who may have longer warranties, at least on 'some' of their systems, RVs aren't built in automated factories and are used in different ways than normal vehicles.
You may also find that the assumption that 'everything' ends at 1 year is also not necessarily true, even with RVs. Many components may be much longer. My Cummins engine's emission's components are 5 years. The Magnum inverter is 3 years, etc. Generally your fridge, tvs, microwave, and other electronics and appliances also have their own warranty periods. Thor, and most any other manufacturer, only warranties IT'S manufacturing, which is the 'house' part of the RV, for one year.

Yeah, it's necessary to stand back and write down what's covered and what's not and when, who takes care of what and of course, how long it sits in the shop being repaired when you want to use it. Different line of thinking than just owning a Car or Truck.
