Shame on you, Thor industries! We paid thousands of dollars for this motorhome and we’re on a fixed income. We had to have a wall reattached that was falling off: trim falls off while I’m cooking: the upholstery is disintegrating; the flooring is peeling up, and the stripping on the slide out is peeling up. We have to do constant maintenance just to use the RV.

If you want junk you buy Thor. If you want poor quality, poor workmanship and leaks, buy a Thor. We purchased in 2018 and have hardly used the RV. It only has about 6,500 miles on it and we got it new having 2,200 miles on it from driving from the factory. Both slides are sealed horribly and leak every time it rains. The insulation and overall sealing is awful. There are several through holes which are not sealed. The electrical connections are the worst I have ever seen and almost burned the Rv up. The black holding tank almost fell off due to poor supports. All the rails for the sliding door and the curtains are screwed into the ceiling fiber with zero backing. The lights and other electrical wires were excessively long and dangling. The windows leak air and when it rains. The kitchen sink drain is improperly installed. The drain needs to have a slop down and it’s installed going up and in an unreachable location to fix without tearing out half the kitchen. Basically this Thir RV is a POS and I would advise to not purchase a Thor product. Read the reviews anc you will see the commonality in issues with Thor RV’s

The Mercedes chassis & cab have had excellent performance, however Thor's quality control regarding workmanship and quality of furnishings and equipment is horrible! *The captain's seats and the couch faux leather upholstery pealed with zero compensation or help from Thor. *The Axxera radio and backup camera is unusable junk. *The bathroom faucet was missing fasteners. *All the wiring under the coach has unprotected squeeze connectors, many of which had to be replaced. *The coach is deafeningly noisy on the highway. *Access to the bathroom is almost impossible when the slides are in. *Obviously no Thor engineer has ever tried to access the spare tire buried under the coach when needed for a flat repair! ....I could go on, but the above at least makes clear that Thor has no conscience when it comes to charging premium $ for shoddy products.

If you want to buy junk, you buy Thor. Purchased new summer 2018. Used very little, garaged. There’s more unsealed and leaking point than a spaghetti strainer. The slides leak air and water. Windows leak air and water. The black tank almost fell off because of sloppy installation thank god I spotted a leak on a trip. The outlets are all hooked together so if you try and have the toaster on and another appliance the breaker trips. Horrible insulation and interior trim. Cheap countertops with sharpe edges. Cheap faucets already changed both. Wiring hanging loose all throughout undercarriage. If you’re looking to purchase a motorhome, DO NOT PURCHASE A THOR PRODUCT.

I love this RV. I use to drive school busses but this RV is actually fun to drive . I live in the Sierra foothills with lots of mountain curves and steep hills and she mauvers great. I've been evacuated a couple of times due to our forrest fires and this RV has been a life saver for me, literally. I've always wanted solar but I've never been in a situation where I didn't have shore power. Being evacuated for 2 weeks I would definitely change the toliet to a composting system. After being settled in my boondocking area I'd have to pack up or move items to drive to dumping station. In September 2022 I had new house batteries and the appliances checked so she's ready for camping.

Lived in 2017 Thor Freedom Elite 23H for 2 years with an 80lb dog, 6’3” & 5’3” adults, traveling cross-country. Drove great on the winding (scary) Pacific Coast Highway, as well as small towns, fitting in any parking spot. We intentionally chose to not have sliders due to fear of having issues. I would add more electrical outlets, removing the chair & having the passenger seat swivel.

Bought the 2017 Freedom Elite 23H from a dealer as a consignment. Pros: It drives very smoothly & fits anywhere. There's always availability for this compact size. I did not want an extention due to fear of potential issues. It is comfortable driving cross-country full-time , 2 + year, 2 adults & a large 70 lb dog. No issues. Cons: It needs more electrical outlets. I would extend floor space by removing the single chair; allow the passenger seat to rotate ; add a table that folds up to use as needed, like the extension attached to the stove. The overhead bunk is being used for storage only because it would be troublesome for me to frequently use the restroom at night. The bed is full size 75"x54" & the mattress has been replaced to firm memory foam. The dog likes having the dinette as a bed which is comfortable for both of us to snuggle. I didn't want to give a low factory warranty / support a low score to drive the overall score down but we haven't used nor needed it. Awning has been sufficient for shade. Storage has been ample for me but not for someone with hobbies such as painting & guns. If you only have clothes, toiletries & laptops then it's roomy.

Great for enjoyment, travel or mobile office. I have crossed the country and driven through Yellowstone and mount ranier national parks in this vehicle. It is self contained and has the power to climb mountains. I loved the rear bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. The front cab is spacious and comfortable. There is plenty of storage room in the rear access “basement.” Trim gets loose and doors stick but that is expected in changing weather. The bells and whistles of fluid check and solar are nice but unnecessary. The push button generator is awesome. It averaged 14 miles per gallon of gas for me which was better than expected.

The Thor Freedom Elite 23H is very easy to drive and easy to park. Coach can park in a standard size parking slot. The E450 Chassis with the Ford V10 is very powerful. However, the standard settings that Ford uses was not allowing the coach to perform at it's best. Since I installed a performance software package, the coach does not pull down a gear when crossing overpasses and downshifting is so much better. Pulling a 20' trailer with a 5000 lb Honda Pilot from Louisiana to Kansas City, our gas mileage was averaging 8 to 9 mpg. It is easy to move around inside the coach and easy to clean. The 13.5 BTU AC keeps the coach cool and the heater keeps the unit warm on cool nights. The large, automated awning makes the coach enjoyable at the camp site. Great Coach!
