Storage and draw opens

4.3
The cabnet that store my food keeps opening and I have only owned my winds port 2015 7 months in for warranty and they say it's not under it . We go down road and cabnet opens and bangs open and hits other side of coach . We were going to put latch but assumed under warranty and we have them fix so we put foot stool there .Crazy isn't it. Then stairs going out of door has draw does same thing and rattles and if you don't watch draw might be open when stop and you can step into it . I have almost many times . But wanted to wait to get into shop . But we have to pay . I said forget it I can fix it . It took us till 1st Oct to get in for other warranty so now still waiting Thor to approve and I have no motorhome no trips and paying . Nobody ever told me about this problem and we are planning on trading in 2017 to upgrade but I will check other company's and they process before we buy again . We really like everything else about outr first motorhome but not seeing we want bigger .

2016 Thor Vegas

1.0
I hate to say it but made in America means nothing to Thor. I wonder if they use American's to build these *** motor coach's. I guess they have no Quality Control at the plant. They must sit in there offices and drink coffee and wave the finished product through. My coach has so many small items that should have been caught at the factory. How do you put a drivers window in that is the wrong size and takes a gorilla to open. It was driven 1100 miles to the dealership and not even the driver noticed the problems. I tried to take it back to get the warranty work done at the dealership,(motor home specialist in Fort Worth Tx.) and they told me the only open they had was in late November, I replied to them it was stuff that should have been done at the factory or been caught by you before delivery. So I take it to camping world to get it fixed. It takes 3 days to get an ok to do warranty work done because they have to send PICTURES to THOR so make sure it is warranty work. Then you have to wait for the parts to be shipped. It's ben 14 days since the parts were ordered. The factory is in America for pity sakes. I own a CRV and had to get a part for it from Japan and it only took 3 days to get here and was installed on the 4th day. Come on THOR live up to the standard of MADE in America which is supposed to mean QUALITY.

I own a new to us 2015 Vegas Thor. We have had problems as well.

The driver side window that is mounted on the vehicle came loose while driving Texas bumpy roads with a sidewind. Luckily I heard the velcro ripping sound and was able to pull over in time to Gorilla tape it to the RV.

Our local RV repair shop was able to replace the fiberglass supporting the window and reattach it properly. So be ware of purchasing from Thor!

Water Leaks = DEADLY BLACK MOLD

1.0
Hi folks, I found this page by chance after searching and researching options in the fifth wheel and travel trailer market, my wife and I are seriously looking to purchase a trailer. My primary concern is that most of you have experienced water leakes in your trailers and I'm not sure how many of you truly understand the risk of exposing yourself and your family to BLACK MOLD! Black mold is not a joke, it will make you and yours extremely sick. Most people don't know that when construction material is exposed to moisture even for a short time the possibility of a black mold blum is almost certain. This means even if you get the manufacture to fix the problem chances are that behind your wall or under your carpet you will have a massive BLACK MOLD problem. I at one time thought that Black mold was a joke, I thought it was one more thing that "super sensitive folks" complained about, but type in black mold in your browser and please read. I have a very close friend and his family who suffered from such a problem in their newley built home and now my friend and his son have serious neurological issues!!! I realized that the he mold was a serious problem when their newly built home was condemned and they were forced to walk away from their $450,000 home and almost everything in it. Please be aware of the fact that with exposure to water the walls , sub floor, carpet, carpet padding and many other things that your trailer is made of may have a BLACK MOLD outbreak and cause your family to get very sick...

2016 THOR ACE All Models very uncomfortable to drive

1.0
We just bought a 2016 THOR ACE 30.2. This vehicle does not have a seat that lowers up and down making it very uncomfortable to drive. The vehicle is very uncomfortable to drive. The first trip we took was only 120 miles a I fund it very difficult to push the gas pedal. I called the THOR Manufacturer and explain the situation and he basically told me it's yours you bought it. They did not offer any solution to the poorly designed drivers seat. Not the help I was looking for after spending $85,000 plus. After all the whole reason for buying a RV is to travel comfortably.

Yes but not far enough. Only about 10 miles.

The first trip we took was several hundred miles and that is when I realized how comfortable the seats were. I had 5 inch rises installed by the dealer (see comment below) and that made the seating lower like a car. It rides much more comfortably now.

Good Luvk they are very attractive coaches but I have to agree the quality control is very lacking.

I have found over a dozen loose screws just lying around. Never had that with any car or boat I have bought.

Just bought 2016 ACE 30.2. Had to build a 3 inch platform to go on the floor under the drivers feet and the passenger seat feet since neither have vertical adjustment.

Very uncomfortable. Both bunk Tv's are are mounted too low to be viewed lying down - and the side mounted DVD player slot is blocked by the GFI power cord making them unusable.

It's as though no one from Thor took the time to ever review their engineering. Coach is 2 weeks old.

Thor makestwo other riser heights 5 and 7 inches. We had the ten inch risers replaces by 5 inch rigors by the dealer we bought the THor ACE from. This worked great as it not seats more like a car.

Good luck. We have a 2015 ACE, purchased Feb 2015, that has been with the dealer more then with us.

Not major repairs, except for the toilet backing up, but enough to be a pain in the rear. From what I have read after the fact.

Poor quality, poor manufacturer service and lots of unhappy customers. Too late for us since we are their victims but hoping other prospective purchasers find out before purchase.

Thor Industries - 2014 Thor Motor Coach Hurricane 34E Review from Tallahassee, Florida

1.0
Hydraulic lines for auto stabilizer jacks are poor quality and oozing hydraulic fluid. One line flew off while driving RV. Contacted Thor, and since we've had the 2014 Hurricane we bought new for about 18 months, were told too bad but not a warranty on it. Our mechanic said they used really cheap and shoddy hydraulic lines. Just another in a list of cheap ways to slap an expensive RV together. Will be the last Thor we ever purchase!! Too into profit at the expense of really poor customer service. They just don't care. When enough people quit buying their product, maybe they'll care then. Pissed in Florida

Quality that is an insult to the American worker

1.0
Thor Motor Coaches are all bad quality! The Thor company just does not care about quality and their employees don't care about quality, period. This as all of their products, including their Class A and C motor-homes. Sad to see that Made in America means so little as far as quality goes. Our Thor Class C is the poorest made coach we have ever seen. Support from Thor is just lip service. Just sad. Also, support from Camping World is abysmal. We finally took our Class C to a different Thor dealer because Camping World is so bad! Stay away from Thor and from Camping World. Both are terrible and an insult to American workers!

Thor motor coach Ace

I purchased a Thor ace Motor coach. I feel I waisted $100,000. the air conditioning is no good. It gets too hot inside. Tries to cover vent but did not help. Too add another air condition will cost thousands of dollar. It is very uncomfortable. Cannot turns passenger seats around. Table in front cannot be used. It has been in server for 2 months and have not been able to use it. You see we are in our 70 and this has been a night mare for us. I do not recommend this coach and I tell people not to invest in this coach, it is a waste of money. I wanted to upgrade but would lose to much and of course the company does not want to loose money.

What a shame, you work your whole life and are ready to cruse into retirement and have to deal with yet another corporation that stands behind their stock price and not their commitment to the folks that took a chance and purchased one of their products.. This truly *** me off.

I hope someone starts a class action lawsuit, because I have literally read hundreds of terrible reviews just like yours that deal with Thor industry products... Best of lick, and I am truly sorry that our made in America concept has failed you and yours!!!

Thor Motor Coach Hurricane 34F Review

1.7
Never ever buy a thor, bought a new hurricane in 2014 it's spent more time in the shop than at the house, have hardly got to use it. To many problems to list but started the first time we used it the screen door fell off followed by the oven door and it's been all down hill since. Camping World is just as bad.

Thor Damon Daybreak/wind sheild issues

I purchased a 2011 Daybreak and it currently has around 31000 miles on it . It has multiple Windshields in it due to cracks caused by shifting. It even made a trip back to the Elk Hart Indiana Factory to correct the 3rd Windshield that cracked due to stress. They sent it Home it sat in my Drive for several months with no issues. I drove it to New Mexico and parked it in a RV park Sept 2014 in June 2015 still parked in the RV park not moved the windshield completely popped out of the front cap creating a gap in the seal and the fiberglass cap. the windshield will not go back in completely and Thor just says it is my issue so apparently they don't build a unit to last beyond there own warranty. This unit has had many different issues also. Thor builds the worst RV in the world.

The government should shut Thor motor homes down

You got a good one. I couldn't list everything wrong with my new Thor 2015 hurricane. All of your troubles plus a bunch here. They got my hot water heater on electric going by finding a disconnected wire under the sink in junction box. I'm lucky that in Texas motor homes come under state lemon law. I have far and away exceeded the limits for out of service time. I just picked it up yesterday after a month in the shop. I bought it in July and it's been at demontrons 5 times totaling 6 weeks. If it quits one more time I'm going to test the state law Steve

I also have a 2015 Thor Hurricane which is presently in for its 7th trip totaling 100+ days! Purchased it at the end of 15, so it's only about 9 mos old!

No matter how many times they fix it, it continues to have problems.

I've asked several dealers for its trade in value and they won't even respond!

Seems they know that they're lemons.

Even though my states lemon law doesn't cover rv the federal lemon law does. I'm currently looking into my options that way.

I can not talk about our Thor federal law suit, if you are unable to do the the date do the federal & will work too and is faster than state could be up to 1 to 3 years to complete. You will do mediation first and if not resolved you go to trial.

We just want our money back and labeled a lemon so no one will go through a year of held my Thor and dealer with a unusable piece of *** that does not work at all. We have the high end top line motor home.

Thor & dealer can not fix it at all with gutting it & starting over. Just do now get rid of it run it will not get better.
