2017 Thor Outlaw 37BG Toy Hauler Class A Motorhome has it all – low mileage, a spacious 13’6″ garage, and a comfortable interior that sleeps up to 10 people. The automatic levelling jacks and touchpad controls make setup a breeze, and the dual low-profile roof air conditioners and 6,000 BTU air conditioner in the garage will keep you comfortable on the road. The 5.5 kW Onan gas gen and 1800-watt inverter provide all the amenities of a home, and the basement pass-through storage makes it easy to bring all your gear.

The size of our Vegas 24.1 is perfect for parking in metro areas, running errands then slipping back into the camp ground. Easy to drive, it handles like a pickup truck. The Ford chassis is awesome: the 6.8L V-10 engine pulls like a locomotive! Six speeds allow a gear for every hilly situation without over-revving or bogging the engine. Small lighter weight class A on a proven chassis with great towing capabilities, and a low center of gravity for SUV-like handling, makes for an attractive package. Heated tanks allow easy 3 season use. Rear and side mirror cameras are great! Fold-down laptop space for the passenger is awesome! Wish every RV had it! Perfect size between teenie Class B and a 48-foot bus and handles better than a Class C ever could. The 24.1 is a great model because you can access the king-size bed on the road anytime without having to stop and extend a slide. Doors on the bathroom effectively double the size of the area when open and allow privacy, front and rear. Huge panoramic windshield, great swivel captain chairs up front, perfect drop down bed and couch that together sleeps 3 additional people. Outdoor entertainment system, outside shower, 3 burner stove, convection oven, microwave, great sleep area for master room! This unit is awesome. Plenty of room inside and out for two, we would never need anything larger. Owned an older Class C before and disliked the overhang at the front and sides limiting the view. Shower is nominal (27” x 27”) and so is kitchen sink. Thor’s quality control leaves a lot to be desired: fresh water tank hole shavings plugged the screen at the water pump, kitchen faucet hold-down ring broken, outside decals that split and crack within the first year because they were too cheap to use UV-resistant decal material and did not clear-coat them with UV-resistant clear-coat, kitchen cabinets that won’t stay shut around a corner because of misalignment of the catches, wallpaper in the bathroom) that peels up at the first shower (who puts wallpaper in a hot humid wet area???), etc. The vertical projector headlights at 3-inches in diameter are a joke! And 2-inch fog lights??? REALLY? Replacing the bulbs was a very difficult job that resulted in only a modest improvement. Thor mediocrity atop a truly exception chassis and drive train. To me, it was worth it, overall, and I would make the purchase again.

I bought a Thor Vegas 24.1 and like it if I never had to drive it anywhere. Every time I have taken it out I ended up stuck in Park and finally paid $500 to find out if I changed a $3.00 fuse in the engine then I could get it out of Park and into drive. Every Time I put it in park. Then I find that when that fuse blows then I have NO brake lights, NO turn signals, or Rear lights. But the lights go out while I am driving. Very Dangerous. I changed out the Rear light fixtures (another $300) then the problem continues and someone said to check if the wiring was placed too close to the manifold. It is again in the shop to see if it can be fixed and I can safely drive it. Camping World would not fix it and said it was a Ford problem and to take it to ford for repair. It is at AutoNation Ford now. So far 1 week there while I put a planned trip on hold. I love the interior but the hot water heater is a problem.

We love this RV! Drove in from coast to coast with never a problem. Love to incredible view out the front -- truly panoramic! Drive like a large pickup truck or Suburban; effortless, easy to drive, great turning radius, handles MUCH better than our old Class C , especially in crosswinds. This is the shortest Class A out there and the shortest RV to offer a King-size bed! The 6-speed transmission offers a gear for every need and the Ford Triton 6.8L V10 sings like an angel and gets 10-12 mpg in the 65-70 mph range, depending on terrain and altitude. The only dislike is the tiny projector halogen headlights; I replaced all my bulbs with high-output LEDs and it really helped, but the problem is the tiny diameter of the lights themselves (3 1/2" hi/lo and 2 1/4 fogs??? really?!). Some people add a 32" lightbar behind the grill to light up the road. Build quality by Thor is sketchy and factory help is non-existent. Why can't they apply exterior decals that hold up to automotive standards??? All said, highly recommended!

We have had many different RV’s over the years to include bumper pulls, slide ins, Class A’s, Super C’s, and fifth wheels. Each has its purpose depending on our needs. The THOR ACE 29.3 is perfect for family trips up to a week and longer if you have full hookups. The floor plan layout is great for us and the various sleeping accommodations make the THOR a great coach that is short enough to maneuver in and around towns and smaller camp sites, big enough to give you room to be comfortable in camp sites or in truck stops at night while on the road. The “pet” window on the passenger side is perfect for our furry family members to also get a great view while driving and includes the built in pet dishes in the bathroom. The V10 is an outstanding power train and pulls our built up Rubicon JLUR easily, even through the mountains in Tennessee and Pennsylvania. It is a comfortable ride and easier to drive than several other rigs I have had. The ability to press a button to auto level, use the slide outs, and run the quiet generator makes this a perfect option for our travel which saves us money from hotels and allows us to stay in many different locations while on travel. The storage is not as large as a bigger diesel pusher, but is easier on the budget to purchase than many other class A or C vehicles, especially for those of us still on a working persons budget. When I retire I may move into a 40 foot diesel, but definitely need to adjust it into my budget as these are not cheap whereas our THOR is affordable now and allows us the ability to quickly jump in the rig and take-off for weekend getaways, visit our children and grandchildren, or just go see the sites for holiday weekends. I would recommend the THOR ACE for those looking for convenience on a budget while also being quite comfortable in a rig that looks and performs like the higher dollar models. The psychological approach to a class A vs a class C is minimal. Most feel the class C is easier to drive than the class A, but can attest I have had both and notice no difference between the two. That said, dealers use that psychology to price the class C well outside of a normal budget when the actual “normal” price of the rig would be comparable to the class A in any normal market. I have recently seen 10 year old class C rigs higher priced than the cost of the rig when originally sold. This is great for the owner looking to sell, but not good for the buyer thinking they can get into an older class C rig at a more affordable price. A savvy buyer can get into an older class A “gas” rig today at a great price and have as much if not more convenience for their family than what you would get in a current class C price. This does not mean I feel class C rigs are less than class A rigs, but do consider cost to price. In that logic, is the cost of settling for a higher priced class C with less options worth the price under the current market than getting a higher option class A for less money, also under the current market. COVID really shifted the RV market on its head as the layoffs and manufacturing shut downs reduced the availability of new rigs, which increase the cost of used rigs. Many people were put into a position they never thought necessary in the past when their jobs and income were impacted by COVID thus sold their homes and moved into RV’s to save cost. This rapidly reduced the used RV market and also shifted the way banks loaned money for rigs as they were losing money in home sales and when families moved into RVs, they started losing visibility on the RV they loaned money for and harder for them to repossess if payments were not made. That made the loan options for both new and used rigs almost non-existent and people needed to cash out their 401K to purchase a rig with cash. This also impacted the actual cost/value of the rig because of cash sales, which was great for a dealer, but reduced the options significantly for the working class family looking to purchase an RV but could not get the loan they needed regardless of the credit rating. Overall, a class A is a great option in the mid size range between 28 to 35 foot. I find this is the best overall length for families who do not plan to live in their rigs, but have a great platform to get away when needed. The same philosophy goes for class C’s, but currently they are priced well outside the cost/value range I would be comfortable with, especially when the economy gets back to normal and the price ranges of all rigs also goes back to normal. This is what caused the housing market crash in California during 2008-09 when homes were priced well over the normal price and when the market went back to normal, people had home loans well above the normal market and would never recoup that loss, thus started “walking away” from the loan. Common sense should always play a role in your RV purchase.
