Hello Richard, Congratulations on the purchase! Sounds like you got a great deal. I just released a video today of the 2023 Thor Scope 18M you may be interested in seeing. I am looking forward to hearing about some of your travels and Thanks for Watching!

Thank you so much for the compliments. This is one of my favorite layouts as the rear bath is a great size and it has a good setup. The only downfall is the bed, which is not very big and not so easy to pull out. Thanks for Watching!

The fact that you go through the review in half the time of others, is refreshing ✨️.

Todd, Congratulations on your purchase, I wish you great adventures! Also, thank you so much for the compliments as they really mean a lot. I am glad that you found my videos useful! Thanks for watching!

Thor does watch KZfaq videos and makes updates based on the reviews and comments. Thank you for the comments and Thanks for Watching!

Thanks for sharing and thanks for Watching!

I agree, I like this layout as the rear bath is relatively large but most couples find the bed size too small and do not like how hard it is to make it into a bed. Thanks for Watching!

They should offer the bed area with a slide out. . What really surprises me is that nobody has considered bringing back the floor plan of the Winnebago Rialta on either a Ram or Transit platform

Thanks for the compliment and Thanks for Watching!

Hello Tim, this does have a great layout but Thor does need to work on a better bed system. Thanks for Watching!

Hello Todd, you are very welcome! I am so glad you enjoyed the review. Thank you so much for watching!

Hello Linda, The bed is a bit difficult and I am glad you found it useful. Thanks for Watching!

I agree, It is hard to believe that this platform is less than 18' long. Thanks for Watching!

Congratulations on your purchase! I am looking forward to hearing about some of your adventures. BTW, I just posted a video on the 2023 Thor Scope 18M you may be interested in seeing. Thanks for Watching!

@@Adventure-Mom yes i watched it already 👍🏽😂my gf said who are u watching, i said honey, RV’s 👍🏽😆

I agree that this layout is a great layout but Thor needs to step up their game on quality. Thanks for Watching!

The bed is like a Rubic cube.

​@@Desperado3248 And she failed to put it together property

I agree and I really like the rear bath layout as they have more room than side baths. Thanks for Watching!

Hello Richard, Thank you for the compliment. I just released a 2023 Thor scope 18M video you may be interesting in seeing. Thanks for watching!

If I remember correctly there is not storage under the couch/bed as the seatbelts, air ducts, breaker box, electronics are under that area. Thanks for Watching my videos!

Thanks for the compliment and thanks for watching!

Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel. Thanks for Watching!

Hello Eddie, I completely understand and I think you are struggling with the same question many other ave asked themselves. Thor needs to improve their QC but so do many other RV manufacturer. Thank you for supporting my channel.

Thor's quality control is virtually non existent. I bought one of these and my list of issues has been endless.

@@fruitvibes i know, I’ve seen multiple videos of multiple things going wrong in a Thor so I’m highly aware of what I’ll be getting myself into. Besides the issues they are the most affordable that I’ve seen.

I found this RV to be a great value and I love the large rear wet-bath. Thanks for Watching!

This is an entry level RV that does seem to be missing a few things but I do like the rear bath layout. Thanks for Watching!

It may be entry level , but $80k plus isn’t cheap, so they should include what should should still be standard equipment. Precovid , the Travato was considered entry level and included theses features. It is mainly the size , not so much the price that makes this unit appealing.

Glad you liked it and Thanks for Watching!

Thanks for Watching!

It is low to the ground however the grass is making it seem lower than it really is. The generator has been moved to a better location (better than early models). Thanks for Watching!

Hello Michael, I agree I would be very concerned going over any speed bumps. Thanks for Watching!

Yes, The generator relocation was needed and I am not aware of any other changes. The generator runs off of the same gas tank as the engine so it can run a very long time when the gas tank is full. Thanks for Watching!

Hello Sneat, These RVs are expensive but sales still seem to be strong. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the endorsement and Thanks for Watching!

Although the bed is a bit small for 2 people, this is one of the best priced NEW entry level RVs that you could actually "off-grid" camp in right now as it has a wet bath, generator, propane (stove), solar, 1000w inverter, and refrigerator. The Ram platform with the suma springs makes driving this RV much better. If you can find one with the 2022 Ram platform you even get the new 9 speed automatic transmission which is also a great improvement. Thanks for Watching!

I agree. This is a 18' RV that has everything that you could need for a great adventure. The layout makes this RV feel spacious and the bathroom is a great size. Thanks for Watching!

Hello MJ, I agree that Thor needs to redesign this bed system and make it more comfortable. Thanks for watching!

Hello Frank, I agree that this is a great starter van. Thanks for watching!

I do like this layout however to make it work the bed and couch have to be one and the same. I think the bed needs a complete redesign as the bed system is awkward and somewhat hard to assemble. BTW it's always great to hear other people's opinions and thoughts. Thanks for Watching!

John, it really depends on the size of the people, how close you are willing to snuggle when you sleep, and how many days you will be on the road (LOL) ! The Sanctuary 19P has a much larger bed and plenty of room (think Queen size) for two people whereas the 18M is more of a full size bed. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for Watching!

I believe Thor does put an aftermarket entertainment system in some of their Ram platforms however I have found that using my phone (Waze) plugged into the sound system works better than most navigation systems. Thanks for Watching!

Interesting observations as I also think the Ram platforms are spacious however I do prefer the Mercedes platform for its ride comfort. Thanks for Watching!

I’d stay away from Benz the service is too expensive.

I think the only concern is the sewage release valve is right next to the tail pipe.

Great Class B for the price.

When equipped with the AGM battery, solar, and generator the battery can run the lights, water pump, refrigerator, and a single outlet that is powered through the 1000 watt inverter. The microwave and AC require the generator or that you are plugged into a 30amp outlet. Thanks for watching!

You can contact Big John at La Mesa RV in Fort Myers FL, he can help you. His cell number is 407 535 1104. Tell him Ryker Mom sent you. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the compliment and Thanks for watching!

Yes, It seems that Thor is listen to us. Thanks for Watching!

@@Adventure-Mom Thanks for this update. With the generator relo, compact size w/ toilet, & price point, this is edging back to the top of my list.

I have a 22 rize 18T and the generator is still in the back. I might make a skid plate.

@@SpiralDesignWorks I think OHV makes a skid plate that fits the generator, if your interested.

@@Adventurousmurse Who's OHV? Sorry I don't know that acronym. Thanks.

Hello Max, thanks for watching!

The pop top requires an AC unit designed into the RV instead of being on the roof which changes the interior layout. I am sure it is possible but the current layout of the 18M would probably have to be changed significantly. Thanks for Watching!

Shucks! I would buy this 18 m if it only had a pop top

I really like the layout and Yes, I have had a few minor issues with my Thor but nothing major. I have found that Thor's customer service has been responsive but unfortunately most parts are on back order so patience is a must. My recommendation is to conduct a very thorough PDI and do not sign any paperwork until after you are satisfied. Thanks for Watching!

Issues I have seen, gas lines and water not connected, control panels not functioning, generator dragging on road, all never should have been shipped in those conditions

What they should offer is a an L model with some upgrades like a slide out for the bed, standard entertainment system, convention microwave, better material for couch, maybe matching the front seats . Should have a window that opens in the kitchen area, sliding screen door

Michael, you are correct. I wish I could get my money back from Thor. I have been dealing with so many warranty issues, it's ridiculous. I keep telling everyone to avoid these and I tell Thor that I am on a mission to tell everyone that as well. This is my 9th RV and my only brand new one, and it has come with more problems than all the other ones combined. Some of the issues are so ridiculous like that crazy bed has a rounded corners and you've got four cushions coming together right under your hip, leaving a large hole. Thor refuses to address that problem. How ridiculous considering the price. There's been multiple recalls.

Hello, most likely that particular unit has been sold by now but you can contact BIG John (407)535-1104 at La Mesa RV to find out about purchasing one. Thanks for watching!

Thor has moved the generators however they are still low. I certainly would not be buying a Rize / Scope and taking it off road. Thanks for Watching!

Thanks for Watching!

Hello Shirley, The ram v6 in the smaller 18' van is plenty powerful for this RV. Thanks for Watching!
