click on my name and read my posts, I have the same unit...
1. yours is most likely out of alignment, mine was 5/8" toe out and caused tire damage after 2500 miles... Thor will reimburse you, but not for the tire damage, so get it done, when it us way out of whack call Thor and start the complaint/refund process. Your dealer has your money so don't count on that.
2. Theses rigs handle like crap. do a CHF ( google it , is switching sway bar positions) with Helwig links in the front and install a Trac bar on the rear. Then you can drive it. And I mean drive it fast if you want 70+ you are in control.. those whipping winds don't mean anything..
3. you will be fixing many other small things, but this rig is great when stopped so enjoy the places you visit.

One would expect that the chassis at least would function correctly 'right-out-the-box'
Is this standard operating procedure for all new class As or just for Thor units that are on a Ford chassis?
I'm bewildered - I haven't talked to my salesman about this yet (on the schedule for a return visit in about 5 days) but will sure be asking him explain why they allow it to be driven nearly 2000 miles from the plant to their store without knowing that it need an alignment.
Thanks for the input gents.
