So we took delivery of our 2016 Vegas 24.1 yesterday. We had several items to be repaired from our initial look last week and then several more on the PDI yesterday. All minor stuff that's either already fixed or waiting on Thor warranty claim delivery of parts. There was no quibbling over any of the claims at all.
On our initial look at the bus we found a tire that had picked up a screw and needed replacement, a section of wallpaper in the bedroom was defective with some odd markings on it, the kitchen shade didn't fully retract, left rear quarter trim piece not properly attached and a missing right rear hub cap (stolen from the dealership they say). During delivery I found the air mattress had a tear and wouldn't hold air, a sofa cushion was torn on the back where the velcro is stronger than the cushion backing material, an outside compartment latch wasn't properly installed, and a couple of tire valve extensions were not properly installed.
It's not our first RV buying experience so I wasn't surprised to find items needing attention but I'm still disappointed by the lack of quality control in the RV industry. When you buy a new RV expect to find problems and get them fixed. It's how it's done.
That being said, we're really excited about our new Fun Bus (it's what our boys call it). Our boys are 10 and 12 and play travel baseball and we plan to use our Vegas on many weekends at the ballpark as well as camping trips. If you've done any travel sports you know that even when you're playing at the home field you might have a game in the morning and then a two or three hour break before your next game. Not enough time to get home but too long out in the sun. Enter the Vegas! Grill some burgers and dogs, maybe get out the blender, life is good! So between tailgating between games, camping at away games and regular vacations, we're hoping to get good use out of it. We think it's a great design and think it'll suit us well.
