RV Ownership Reality Checks

Thinking about getting a Thor motorhome, anyone own one? What are the things people don’t tell you until after you buy?

I lived in a Thor Class C for a summer road trip. Pros: lots of space, cool layout. Cons: things rattled loose, the plumbing needed tweaks, and sometimes the heater sounded like it was working extra hard. If you’re buying used, budget for small fixes.

I’ve done a lot of reading on Thor motorhomes, trying to decide if I should pull the trigger. Many owners report a mix: love the layout and features, dislike the quality control, things like misaligned panels, malfunctioning outlets, and issues with weather sealing. One thread even mentioned a warranty claim delay after a little water intrusion in the roof. When checking reviews I saw https://thor-motor-coach.pissedconsumer.com/review.html where folks shared similar stories, nice design, but sometimes frustrating defects. For me, that means I’d seriously inspect before purchase, factor in repair costs, and ideally buy used so someone else has absorbed those early problems.
