My 2015 Thor ACE 30.1 has 43000 on it. V10 5 sos. I never get under 9.5 mpg. I’m not towing either. So who knows.
Hope all is well and safe With you and family.

I’m a little bit of a skeptic myself, and I’d have to question your friend’s claim. Thor specs show the 2020 Ace 30.2 as having the old 6.8L V10, not the new V8.
I’ve been looking at motorhome ads with the new 7.3L V8 and have seen a few Model Year 2021 listings but none in stock yet. I’m sure they are close though.
Anyway, without physical confirmation that it’s a 2021 Ford F-53 chassis with new 7.3L V8, I’d assume it’s an old V10.
P.S. — In large Class A motorhomes I expect the new V8 to be a little more fuel efficient than the outgoing V10. I could be wrong though.
