We got the Challenger 37TB and love it. We just got back from an 8500 mile cross country trip. Had a problem with the drivers window but drove on. Stayed in Mohave Valley, AZ with a 110 degree temp. Had to pay attention to how long grandkids had the doors open but we were very comfortable at about 75 degrees with moving air.

The rule of thumb is 20-25 degrees difference between inside and outside. Paying attention to facing your coach away from the sun helps.

In our first 4 months we have put 10,500 on our coach, pulling our 2013 Ford Explorer the whole way - including mountains of Wyoming. Absolutely no problems with power. I did the CHF and that helped with most of the not seen cross winds.

No problems with the roof and as I remember it comes with a 10 year warranty.

The 5.5KW generator runs everything without issue. With 3 grandkids, TVs and AC were run a lot while driving. The TV and DVD run off the 12V so unless the AC needs to be on, don't have to the run the generator. We will be visiting family in Florida and will be out of coach while it is parked. The AutoGen feature is perfect for this - starts the generator up, charges the battery and shuts off.

One of the best features with Thor - they actually have people to call if you need help with something going wrong. Coming from Forest River, this is a nice change. People, really experienced people.

So yep, we really enjoy our Challenger and would do it again.
