If it was a minor issue or two causing the problems, I have to think that Thor would have revised or upgraded the design and kept the original "great" concept. That they abandoned it tells me it was a bad design from the onset.

I personally feel that way about many things in motorhomes. Sure, things can be made to work, but any time anything is made more complicated or with more moving parts, the greater the opportunity for failure or for issues to come up. And for me, a recreational activity that can be done out of a tent shouldn't require that much design sophistication. A simple hinged door is hard to beat.
The "concept" to us was the large bathroom area using the hallway and the bathroom door. The small, cramped area getting into and out of the shower was always a pain in our two previous Class B and C's. We love the large dressing area and large bathroom without the permanent loss of space. Having two light doors on hinges creates the same space without the large, heavy door. I agree that simple is best, but the smart, dual use of space makes a small RV live much bigger. I am convinced that is why we could travel in our Vegas for 4 1/2 months without killing each other and why I could not talk my wife into a bigger RV.
