2016 Thor Motor Coach Freedom Elite 23H Class C Reviews on RV Insider (4)
Avg. Rating

I bought my first RV a Thor Motorcoach Freedom Elite 23h over at Denver Camping World in August of 2015 and drove it back home with my wife and dogs to NY and the first problem I noticed was a missing mud flap (passenger side) and loose bracket (drivers side) on another mud flap. I chalked that up as shoddy workmanship. But after the next year and a half we had many other problems like cracked and bolts missing on rear plastic storage compartment as well as water leakage under rear mattress. Also flickering rear LED light and broken antenna crank handle (just popped apart). At this point we were out of warranty and my dealership tech said that our Good Sam would not cover anything! So I called Thor Motor Coach and they agreed to pay $1,100 on my $1,600 bill. I have to at least give some credit back to Thor for making this bad experience a better one BUT I am very suspicious now that I really see the inner working parts of my RV. The 450 Ford Triton V-10 engine is flawless and smooth shifting and very powerful. Love the fact I have and 8000 lb. towing capacity. Wishlist: auto leveling jacks, Slide out on living area and that's about it. We put about 18,800 miles on our RV took her out to Glacier National Park in Montana last summer and she ran like a dream. Maybe just some over heating of brakes but we drove almost 7000 miles in 17 days so that was a little bit of a stretch and also gas mileage is very good. If I had to buy a new RV I would go with a 29 ft. and have slide outs on one side and rear sleeping area (King size bed for sure). Happy trails! Rob Z. Blauvelt, NY l

We traded in a Roadtrek for this motor home. I hate it. How do you get into bed? The most uncomfortable thing in the motor home. We are in our seventies and you have to be a contortionist to get into or get out of this bed. Other than the bed everything else is fine. Is there anyway to scrap that bed and install something that you can actually use. I wish I had my Roadtrek back.

I am having major problem with the quality of workmanship with my RV. The microwave fell,out twice, the wall next to the refrigerator split and now has a 3 inch gap. Many more issues they won't fix. Thor originally promised to fix everything but is now backing out. If you have had similar problems, please contact me asap. I spent way too much money on a new unit to have it fall apart. I have have heard that many folk have issues. This should not happen!

WARNING! Watch out for any rv that is manufactured from the mean Vikinging "thor" who hassled you even though your RV is under warranty. Get ready this is a long story.We brought this unit December of last year to take with us on mission trips to spread the Good News of the Kingdom of GOD to the places God revealed to us: Valparasio,FL New Orleans,LA Birmingham,AL Montgomery,AL Roberstadale,AL Calera,AL and Dothan,Alabama and in each of these cities we traveled to we could'nt focus to do missions work without runing into CHEAP,RUDE,NASTY, KKK KLAN Behaviour type of people and inexperienced amateurs that are supposed to fix your problems but instead make it worse for example: we were driving through the rain in Robertsdale,AL when we saw a pool of water that was everywhere so much that a baby duck could swim in the puddle! We had to use most of our: clotes, blankets, and towels to absorb the water.The next day we made an appointment for the dealer to fix the leak first thing they asked us where did you buy it from ? After we fought them off to have the leak on the left wall sealed,they did a sloppy joe job on it.Because on our way heading to Dothan,AL NOW BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT WALL WERE GUSHING IN WATER! Next,we CALLED someone from Thor corporate they sent Jeff Cox to "seal" the leaks he just spayed a can of foam and the leak STILL persisted.Afterward we had to take a trip to the dealer where we originally bought it from to have it fixed no more leaks from the floor but now then the back bedroom window water gushed in when it rains we had to get some supplies to fix that ourselves at a LOWE'S hardware store. Now the problems were having now is drawer won't close,the generator fumes get in the unit,and the chasiss floor gets so hot we went to three RV fords dealerships to have it fixed and they did'nt do anything they Just took a look at it and sent us home. They just don't build rv's like they used to no more.So the best thing to do is PUSUE THE LEMON LAW FOR RV'S FOLKS!
