Liz, thank you so much for doing this. Someone needed to shine the light for sure. I bought a 2022 Braxton Creek free solo Romo - not an expensive unit but I can't even begin to tell you the nightmare that I went through that took almost a year for Braxton Creek to finally make repairs on a brand new unit. The main problem that they finally got repaired was a water leak basically on the back third of the unit where the entire back wall was buckled and bubbled. Thanks again for everything you do. Keep shining your light.

The RV manufacturers normally does not act as an intermediary and would likely just slow things down if they did.

Steve Lehto, an attorney who specializes in lemon law, warns all potential RV buyers that RVs are not covered by lemon law. He has a number of horror stories about RV problems in which the dealer won't help and the RV may have to be taken to the manufacturer where it may sit for months without being worked on. The moral is " buyer beware" for all RVs/

@kevinmollet5364 6 ай бұрын

I was wondering if someone would bring Steve's name up. He's made several videos regarding RV purchase and what to look out for. He also provides good "legal" advise that would best serve RV owners with problems. My guess is this company will string the owners along just enough such that the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act no longer applies (think it's 3 years / 36,000 miles)... then they will likely get ghosted permanently. If it were me, I would definitely contact a lawyer that specializes in this area. You may never need to use them... but at least you know your options before they run out.

This is the 3rd horror story I’ve heard about Thor. One guy discovered that his brand new RV had the interior destroyed after a storm by a 4” diameter hole someone cut in the wrong place in the roof. Instead of fixing anything they just installed the AC so it hid the hole! It gets even better… Thor refused to pay for anything that wasn’t part of the RV as delivered. The guy who bought it had already put in his own upgraded mattress, pillows, clothes, etc and mold had destroyed it all thanks to the unbelievable laziness at Thor, and they refused to cover one cent. There’s absolutely no way I would buy anything from that company unless they fired everyone now there, from the very top on down. They shouldn’t even be allowed to do business at this point.

My husband was a collision center manager most of his career. We were walking the campground, and he was pointing out the various truck and auto taillights manufacturers use in different configurations when designing Class A motor coaches. Our 2nd RV, a 5th wheel was so filled with problems, the dealer and regional service VP from Forest River agreed to send our brand new Fiver back to the factory for repair of a list of issues, but most importantly, missing and botched frame welding we only discovered when my husband was building tool storage in the basement and he moved the thin wall to attach some hooks. 4 weeks later our rig was returned to the dealership with nothing repaired. Their factory built 2x4 frames around the basement storage so the missing/ shoddy welding couldn't been seen upon opening the storage door. The factory rep gave us reassurances, if the shoddy/absent welding ever failed, they would cover repair to the rig's welding. (But the welding would have to fail first.) We argued a failure would most likely come during transit, and that could be potentially catastrophic safety concern for us and other travelers. They factory rep and regional managers just shrugged their shoulders, and said "not their problem." Hubby had repeated shouting matches and email correspondence with the dealership owner, regional manager, service manager, and factory customer service manager, before we realized they would do nothing to help us. We still have that RV, and the frame hasn't broken yet, but we still try to avoid other traffic on the roads and interstates just in case.

I live on a steel Motor Boat and my partner did all the interior and most of the exterior. When we bought it a surveyor said the work required was only 'cosmetic'. After, it almost sank coming back from Penzance (maiden voyage) we realised that was B.S. It actually required a major refit - fortunately my partner has been able to do most of the work otherwise we would have been in trouble. When we complained to the MCA about the surveyor (he was recommended on their site) they weren't interested. I did a bit of digging and found out the surveyor was a real crook - he'd been to prison for fraud and various other misdemeanors - taking passengers out to sea without the proper tickets etc etc. So getting an 'expert' in is no guarantee of a problem free purchase. Basically, do your homework, test drive everything and only pay your money when you are certain things are sound. However, I love our boat now and probably more so because of all the trials and tribulations. We named the boat Tenacious. You both have a good attitude so I'm sure you'll weather the storm. ✌️

We can totally relate to Sharon and Jeff’s issues. In 2017 we bought a Thor Aria 3601 and the first weekend we took it out it rained and we had about 3” of rain in all the storage bays. Long story short everything in that RV leaked when it rained. Thor took it back to factory for a month and the first day I got it home I washed it and again the water was running in with the slide out in the closed position. After fighting with them for two years we sued them and got a settlement from them and then got rid of the coach. We had a list of 40 things that needed repaired the first weekend we took it out. NEVER ANOTHER THOR PRODUCT. After hearing horrid stories from other Thor owners I could write a book. We are now the proud owner of a Fleetwood product. We are on our 6th class A so we aren’t new to this camping thing. Good luck to all Thor owners.

I have put my complaints in writing to the Dealer where I purchased and Thor the manufacturer to no avail.

@@miguelnegrete8883 That's the problem. I personally know a licensed RV inspector. MOST of the time, the new RV's fail inspection. And that's just the first 100 point of inspection. THEN the customer will push them for recommendation for another brand. However, it's hit and miss. It's like a Ford owner who asks you, a Toyota owner, and that Fords owner buys a Toyota, and it didnt work for the buyer. Then it makes you a bad guy. He just tells them to do research (obviously) because it's a LOT of money to own one.

My wife and I are retired and a couple years ago started considering buying an RV. We attended a couple RV shows and what struck me was how cheap the materials used in the interiors were, and how poor the construction quality was. And it was the same regardless of the price point. They looked very good from a distance, but when you start poking and prodding they just seemed like they were built by workers that had no pride in their workmanship. Since then I've watched countless hours of videos such as this one that has really convinced me that RV's are not worth it. Why would I want something that I'm going to have to wait six months to get fixed for something they did, or more likely didn't do? I get it that people love their RV and it's only the people that have the 'rare' problem that take the time to post about it. But when there are literally hundreds of YT videos describing shoddy workmanship and zero support from the dealer once you drive it off the lot, something is seriously wrong with the industry. Surely there is some RV manufacturer out there that knows that there are customers that are willing to pay a premium amount just to get something that they can be confident isn't going to fall apart or break down. Do you have to spend $1 million in order to get quality workmanship and have dealer and factory support you can count on? I know people will continue to purchase RV's, and I say more power to them. I can't help but think, however, there are a few people like me that are just not willing to invest that amount of money in a rolling piece of junk.

These RVs are made so cheap and the material is a joke. The RV game is for the RV when it comes to Class A diesels. Now they are mad at a company that could careless because they sell tons of RVs. They don’t care about someone having these problems. They know that people with this type of money will continue to buy. All RV service centers are packed with RVs. Just my two cents.

Consider a yacht, power or sail. 8 out of 10 are built to last 50 plus years, by craftsmen who care about what they're doing, verses guys putting in time for $10/ hour. The designs are always well engineered, usually by independent designers with industry name recognition, and the materials, fiberglass, hardwoods, aluminum, marine ply, and stainless steel will always outlast particle board, interior plywood and raw steel. Most boats will go thru a refit after 30 years, major engine work, paint, interior upholstery, systems upgrading by the owner, most RV after 30 years are disposed of as not worth putting further money into and sold for maybe 10% of their original cost to people who think they're getting a bargain, not understanding the money pit they've just purchased.

My parents were RVers. They started out originally with a tent trailer before working their way up through a series of house trailers, 5th wheels and van conversions and eventually to a class C and then got out of the hobby altogether. Why? Because they found that without fail, the newer the unit, the bigger it was, the more elaborate it was, the more expensive it was, the more features and options it had, the bigger the pile of rolling junk it was. And my dad was probably the handiest handyman who ever lived. There was nothing he couldn't fix. We used to joke that he could probably diagnose and rebuild the space shuttle. But it got to the point that he was spending more time fixing the damned things than traveling in them. At one time, I planned on being an RVer too in my retirement but my parents' experience along with the exposure I had to modern RVs from being a driver trainer and also a hauler of them convinced me that I want no part of them.

Finding campsites was an issue, always jam packed. It was a lot of work and not a pleasant experience. The final nail in the coffin was a weird brake failure while driving to my lake property. Luckily, I made it there. That's where it sits permanently as a weekend home for us. I'm done with RVing . I'm done being a glutton for punishment.

Frame of big slide broke. Had to replace the black tank. Etc. Tiresome. Never a bit of trouble with my F350 dually diesel long bed....

My first rig was a 38 foot Overland motor coach made by Mallard industries and it was complete junk and was always getting repaired, then I went to a pickup truck camper and it was great no problems, if you can sacrifice space get a truck camper or a Roadtrek van, they have everything the big flimsy RVs have just on a smaller scale, my truck camper even has a slide, these units are perfect for a couple or single person.

Liz very good presentation. These problems are present in all RV’s whether a motorhome, fifth wheel or any other type regardless of cost. I bought a new fifth wheel in 2014. The problems and workmanship were terrible and the factory could have cared less. Now I tell people that most RV’s should have the motto “design by idiots, build by drunks”.

By the time they purchased their coach, we has been hearing for at least 10 months NOT to buy anything manufactured since the pandemic had begun...THIS is a perfect example of how true this statement was...we will NEVER buy anything that was manufactured from 2019 thru at least 2023

My husband and I just bought a brand new B30. Love the coach and its perfect for our needs. I 100% see what you all mean by Thor not completing or caring about what they send out. I have already fixed things on my own cause I know they don't care.

I had a Four Winds with a similar windshield and it always leaked. I would recommend avoiding any RV with the curved glass wind screens - they almost never seal properly and and torsional twist on the RV (which can’t be avoided on uneven ground) forces the windscreen to break the seals. I now always look for designs where the windscreen is more or less flat and surrounded by a frame.

Thanks for the video I was thinking about buying a Thor motorhome and this video changed my mind I can’t stand companies that don’t stand behind their products and especially ignore their customers when they have issues

Both a motorhome and narrowboat owner here. Built by people with no expense spared and believe me it shows as they age. As a buyer don't be afraid to turn away from a pretty face. Quality isn't always on the surface!

Let me get this straight...400k plus on a depreciating asset. At least a house or land goes up in value. Unless they had lots of money to waste I'd never do that ever

This is a horror story , a coach from Hell and back . I think you have put Thor out of business and well done despite your personal grief . PS : the dogs even look in a litigious mood !

Thank you. I just canceled my purchase. I almost bought the $325K Thor Class C. Something just wasn't right. Too many issues and too many " we promise to fix it in a couple of weeks." The dealer wanted me to buy it first, before the issues were addressed.

Enjoying your videos on problems with RVs. I am 73 and skilled in welding, electrical and mechanical systems. Not a finished carpenter. I tent camped, and had a used trailer while working. Got a used 2001 Four Wheel Camper Hawk when I retired. Great campers and well built. Then purchased a 6 month old Four Wheel Camper Shell model. Did a full build out just the way I wanted. Used several years but wanted more comfort. 2020 we started looking at a "B" van. Hard to find in 2020 but we found a 2020 Thor Sequence new in LA CA. Purchased over the phone. Went to pick up and found a few problems that I was told would be taken care of. Long story short we spent the night at the dealer to have the problems fixed the next day. Over night we found more problems. When I told the tech working on the van the other problems he said I would need to make an appointment and bring it back. I said I would call my attorney first. Then the tech stop working and left. I had paid cash and was sure I had been ripped off. My attorney said IF I had not left the lot, and I did not, I could get my money back. Credit to the sales manager who showed up next. He asked if I had driven on the street and I said no. He then said if we are not happy we could get our money back. It took 6 week to get the money back. Several months later we found a new 2021 Coachmen Beyond 22C on a lot. After 3 years we are happy with the van. Still had several issues than needed to be fixed. Coachmen's response has been good. My dealer not so good. To change the battery took over 3 weeks WTF. I think all RV manufacturers lack any QC. And dealers do not do any pre delivery inspection.

Manufacturers do watch these videos Liz. There was a British couple that had an Entegra with drive problems. After they posted several videos of the ongoing problem, several people said in the comments section that they were going to cancel or not look at Entegras anymore. Entegra contacted them directly and flew techs out to finally fix it.

That's not good enough. They are only doing that bc they got caught. They should be making these things properly from the get go.
