2006 Thor Industries 5th Wheel reviews

I reviewed and looked at 5th wheels for 5 yrs and found that Thor made and used the best products available. I had to give it a five rating on warranty as I can't downgrade something I never needed to use. I am finally having to replace the water heater as the inlet is rusted. Still works but rusted and is starting to leak even with a ton of teflon tape on the threads. This trailer is amazing and has a wonderful floor plan other than there is not enough closet space in the bedroom. I keep it as clean as possible but it is still just like new..none of the appliances have failed, carpet is still good, air conditioner is awesome and is 15K not the usual 13.5K. Table is still good and does not wobble around. I did have the locks changed on the outside doors. Looks like new but in all fairness, it is stored inside when not in use. Show less

This 2006 M-30RSO Excel Classic is extremely clean and well built. It is being offered with a 2008 Chevrolet 2500HD LTZ Duramax diesel pickup and tons of extras, all ready for the road.. Non-smokers and pet free and at 32’, it’s the perfect length to be comfortable, yet fit in most campgrounds. Solid OAK cabinetry looks great and is built to last. It easily sleeps four and has tons of storage plus a full sized closet and queen bed. It includes a comfortable sofa /hide-a-bed, two free standing recliners, kitchen table and four chairs, AC or gas refrigerator, microwave oven, gas oven and 3 burner stove top. It has TWO air conditioners, central ducted heating, four solar panels and 3.5KW Onan generator. Extras include a 1KW pure sine wave inverter, satellite TV and surround sound stereo. (We really, really like this rig for staying in remote locations. Since it has four solar panels, there's very little need to start up the generator unless the air conditioner is needed.) With the stability of the long bed Chevy 2500HD Duramax diesel, it's very stable on the road. Our mileage varies by speed and headwinds, but generally runs 10-11 mpg and the 45 gallon auxiliary tank gives us roughly a 600 mile range. The four wheel low gear selection has been used a few times but we've never been stuck on soft ground and the truck is powerful enough that hills are no problem. I hope this is of some help if you are looking for a very well built and durable rig. Please feel to email me with any questions and if you would like to see more photos of both the RV and the diesel truck, take a look at my site: cranstonreid dot com/rv. Show less

My wife and I have enjoyed this RV for 3 yrs. The floor plan is quit different than most by having a bar with 2 stools and the slide has the refrigerator in it which gives more counter space. These were well built units, buy a company that went broke in 2008. They were trying to build better than anybody else and did. Hope you enjoy RVing. Show less

I could live full time in this rv. It is quiet and is solid without movement. Pulls so easy with my truck that you barely know it is there. Cross winds do not effect towing. We can use all the amenities without extending any sliders. The AC unit works great in 90 Deg. temps. Electric over hydraulic disc brakes is very adequate. I love this unit more with each use.

This would be a great RV to live in as the storage capabilities are huge! The floor plan is spacious and open. The quality is good and has held up well and it tows just fine. However, I'll warn you that it does take a good truck to pull that much weight! The manufacturer is out of business that is why I gave it a 1 star rating. Show less
