Not hardly. Thor has its share of issues, most having to do with construction attention to detail, quality control and quality inspection. We would all be a lot happier if Thor took this issues to heart.
The tone of some of your posts was that Thor was negligent or "cheaping out" when they built your model coach by not installing items that you now wish you had. The thing is: I can walk into the same bare, base Class C coach manufactured by Coachman, Winnebago, or any other manufacturer and see the same items installed in the same way.
It's like going to a Chevy dealer and buying a bare, basic Spark because it was in your price range, but then being frustrated because it doesn't have electric windows and door locks or cruise control like the Sonic LT model does.
But when Ford sold cars their bare, basic Fiesta it was equipped similarly to the Spark and the Focus had models with more bells and whistles; just like Chevy.
So enjoy your RV "kit" as you make it like you want it. Complain about the missed screws, extra screws laying around, sawdust and plastic bits where they are not supposed to be, poor wiring practices, etc that you can certainly attribute to Thor's building practices, but accept the decisions Thor made to create your model RV at the price point that you were able to purchase it at. Change and/or improve the areas in the "kit" that you thing will make the RV more usable for you, and use the RV for adventures and making memories for as long as you are happy with it.
For most of us, every use of the RV gets the gears turning in our heads on what we can do to improve it for our use before we go out again . Some think it's a sickness. Some put a couple of years work into their RV to only get bit by the BIG UPGRADE bug and buy a newer, bigger RV "kit" and have to start all over again with the mods/upgrades.
Happy RVing.
