We paid about 70K for our Vegas. A co-worker just paid close to that for an aluminum F-150. For that we have a good Ford chassis and engine, a somewhat stream line shape that gets 10+ MPG and what I consider a lot of features for the price. I did a lot of research that lead me to this site and made notes of everything others needed to do to theirs such as sealing areas that may leak and tying up lines - cables - wires that may become problematic. I admire good craftsmanship in all things and don’t feel like that is always the case with what Thor assembles - BUT if Thor spent the time and $ assembling this like a high end coach I most likely couldn't or wouldn't want to afford it. We are very happy with what we have and I am willing and happy to do what I can myself to keep it out of the shop. If you read other manufacturers forums, it seams all RV have issues. Like many others have said on this site, find the RV and floorpan that is right for you and make it work. For us, our Vegas is it. In fact we have always discussed living in an RV for extended periods of time in the future. We love this so much that we will probably not “upgrade”.

Totally agree on finding the right floor plan and we have with the Vegas, no doubt. We started a little late with the RV'ing experience, both my husband and I retired. Our first was a 25 foot Springdale which we loved but was just too much for my husband and I to handle, we traded that for a 31 foot Class C Forester, loved that as well. Now 4 years later, we really wanted a couch easy for us to whip around, park easier, and still give us the space we needed. That is the Vegas. 25 feet of total usable space. We love the front turn around captains chairs and table, the couch and drop down loft has been perfect for our grandkids, the twin convert to king bed in the back and the big wardrobe/bathroom area is great. Plenty of kitchen space and we have used all 3 of the TV's, our outside one being the favorite. This model is the absolute dream model for us. We love all the features. Happy travels!
