Overall I like it... I bought mine used - so didn't have the 'pleasure' of dealing with Thor warranty... The real key seems to be the dealership you work with.

I did get an extended service plan - the up side being many things are covered - the downside being if it is something significant, I have to take it to a dealer if I want them to pay for it (minus deductible...)
I'd much rather do the work myself - but they won't pay for and send me parts under the service plan.

After 3 trips to the dealer to fix an intermittent refrigeration issue I gave up... having paid the 'diagnostic charge' because they found nothing wrong... (My pictures showing the fridge at 80 degrees next to theirs showing it at 35...)
I now have an intermittent problem with my Jensen head unit... Have to time it right to get it to fail for the dealer... at a time where I don't need the MH for weeks... or just eat the cost or replacing it myself for the hour it will take me to swap.

That said - aside from 200 miles of driving (50 miles each way to drop off RV and drive toad home... then back to pick up 2 weeks later) - the dealer did fix virtually all the issues I found after taking ownership... from dead microwave to damaged floor.

All MH brands have issues - and many of the protections afforded auto buyers don't extend to RVs...

This is our second Thor MH... Had a 2000 Infinity for 4 years before getting the 2014... Upgraded to get more space (slides) as we now spend at least 3 months solid in it over winter. Went from 30A to 50A (though the Infinity did have 2 ACs - needed to run the genny or an extra 20amp line to run both...)

Lots of people here to help with questions... debugging... feel free to ask anything.... As fhenn said - this is not owned/controlled by Thor. I wish sometimes they would read it more than they seem to - might get some good ideas of things to fix...

I'm glad that its not the case that THOR is monitoring these forums and deleting things.

The person that messaged me also made a remark about me buying my MH from Camping World (basically saying I'm an idiot for buying something from them). Oh well, I am certainly new and maybe Camping World isn't the best but all I know is what I know and I can only make informed decisions based on the research I find at the time (for past history...which there isn't any in regards to owning a MH).
