It looks good in the showroom, but things start falling apart as soon as you leave the lot. I've had the drain in the shower and kitchen sink both crack. I've had water lines that were reversed. I've had plastic trim around the front entry door already start fading and warping after ONE YEAR! I've had to re-seal the tub enclosure because Thor did a poor job. I've had wood moulding fall off because it wasn't nailed properly. I've had the water heater circuit board fail after one month.

It's just sad that we stress to buy products made in the USA but this is the kind of poor quality and workmanship customer's in the RV industry continue to get. Very, very disheartening.

Pretty close to my experience... Luckily I’ve found and fixed most of the issues myself before they became real problems. Almost every plumbing fitting was not tight enough leaking pretty bad in a few spots. I’m convinced the shyster dealer loosened them for spite. Everything was fine when we walked through at purchase. I yelled at them for not noticing a loud clicking coming from the motor compartment. It ended up being a failing house battery relay that was clicking continuously. The tech claimed they didn’t notice it which is complete bs. I drove 4 hours to pick it up and had to leave it to be fixed because of this. I’m new to the rv game, bought it as a covid outlet for my family. I knew the industry was bad but damn, I will never buy one again. I loath the argument that everyone uses about it being an earthquake every time you drive it. WTF.. Its a damn RV, you are supposed to drive it. If it can’t hold up even with proper maintenance, what’s the point? This statement dealers love to make makes me cringe. I bought a small cheaper unit and can’t imagine what it would be like to buy a big expensive class A with this being considered normal.
