Hi all,
We are seriously considering the 2021 Thor Chateau 22' E350. We were not aware until after we got home about the 2020 recalls for engine cover (which looks like a pretty easy fix), and issues related to BIM/BIR from Jan 17, 2021 (checking by the auto VIN it seems only the engine cover issue needs to be addressed).
The Dealer we went to never said anything; when we called to check they said they were not aware of it (even though Recall was issued Dec 17, 2020).
This would be only our 2nd RV purchase, so we are curious to hear:
1) If anyone is familiar with the recalls (3 in total) for this model, esp due to the
change to a V8 engine ?
2) Would folks be wary of purchasing an RV w/the recalls (manuf recall #20S73)
3) Obviously, we would not buy it until it was independently checked out. Dealer seemed a little hinky on that, but we were firm about that.

Thanks for any advice. We are looking forward to as many trips as we can, since sadly my husband has just gotten a serious medical diagnosis. He is in great shape right now and hopefully will have years left for travel to Nat'l Parks, his greatest love.
