They acknowledged they had more than year, it had about 1200 miles, short something broken / missing like the pantry door, refrigerator trim, vent fan knobs and screens, the rest is just poor workmanship.
Several months back I was reading a thread on this site where a number were talking about the poor quality of brand new coaches from Thor. They were concluding that in hindsight it is best to buy a used coach. I couldn't help but jump in to ask if the quality is so bad with the new... why on earth would you want to buy the same thing used? I am thinking it is worse...? I am beginning to see their logic now. Somebody will ultimately buy this coach. Whatever the dealer does not fix, they will fix themselves over time. If they wish to sell in a year or two, the next buyer saves on the depreciation and get the RV with headache issues resolved, and possibly a few significant mods.
My wife and I work and I don't mind doing a few things, but don't have a lot of free time. I don't want to have a brand new coach that does not look brand new if that makes any sense. I have an 11 year old SUV, that some still ask me is this brand new when they get in it. I know what they are saying and it is the ultimate compliment.
What is really frustrating and why it has taken us so long; I can't simply say, I will go to Newmar, Tiffin, Entegra, Winnebago etc and just pay more money to get better quality. To my knowledge what we seek I have not seen elsewhere? The Baysport Sport is the closest for about $20k more, but I lose the 2nd AC, outside TV, and number of other features and toys like firefly controller. I do gain full body paint and the obvious quality on the inside.
For reference coach we seek is preferred to have the following:
-Less than 30' 4"
-2 ACs 5kw
-Electronic Controller i.e Firefly or similar
-Sofa
-Dropdown bunk
-Outside TV. Kitchen outside is plus not a must
-I will consider used but nothing older than 2018 (short the immaculate exception)
