Thor Motor Coach ARIA 3901 3901 reviews

Overall, we are very pleased with the unit so far. It has a great floor plan and we enjoy all of the appliances and kitchen layout. The bathroom and shower are thoughtful and very usable. We have had the usual "shake down" issues associated with newer units but are approaching 60 nights in it and 8,000 miles on it without any unexpected major setbacks. We have owned RVs for 30+ years and have had all types at one point or another. This is our third Class-A and the most expensive by far. Simply can't say enough good about the newer Freightliner chassis! The technology advances year on year are fantastic and make the unit far safer and drivable. Primary Complaints: Poor overall quality of construction of the coach and its assembly. The unit is thrown together far to fast and has little attention to detail. If Thor would enhance their build/assembly quality, they would kill the industry in this class and price range. Fuel milage is around 7mpg avg towing at 70-75mph. Yes, she has a drinking problem! We travel on business/pleasure 25-30k miles per year so we are more than simple passive owner-operator-campers with strong mechanical backgrounds and base our opinions on many different owned units, miles driven, and word of mouth conversations out on the road.

Great RV. Completely automated in every way. Slides and lights, generator, air, conditioner, water pump, everything can be controlled by remote access on your phone. Two air conditioners, exceptional storage space. Washer and dryer. Inside luxury. Show less

Ours is actually a 2023 Aria 3901. We love it. Great floorplan with room galore, quality cabinetry and drives exceptionally well. 5th motorhome. 5000 miles and only one issue. The steps wouldn't go out. I couldn't find the cause. Had a tech out and it ended up being a fuse holder that wasn't crimped enough. Thor paid the bill. We have had none of the issues that the earlier models had. Show less

2021 Thor Aria has never ending issues since day one. 19 months and Freightliner TPMS system still not fixed. Refrigerator broke on 2nd trip. No heat on first trip due to circuit board had poor connect and had one wire harness not even connected. What was funny the Quility Control that employee signed off of right next to wiring. Camping World Indy I don’t think every did PDI on unit. Main slide broke on 4th trip and had to have motor etc replaced. Cabinet bottom fell out on 4th trip. Toilet in main bathroom won’t flush properly and you have to flush so many times you almost empty out your fresh water tank. Had coolant light on from day one and after two trips finally found leak. Coolant reservoir ran dry on 2nd trip. I can go on and on. Beware the quality has been poor and Thor is interested in quantity over quality. Show less

Bought new from General RV in Richmond, Va in April 2021. I really like the way it drives and handles on the road. Have had minor issues which I was able to fix. I have used customer service several time and was satisfied with them. I have 4000 miles on it since April and have made 5 camping trips . Hoping things will continue as they are . I have enjoyed the Aria . Show less

Constants issues with unit. On our 3rd trip and fridge went bad, jack stands wouldn’t retract bad connection at Hydraulic pump. Since day one tpms system inoperative spent 45 days At Freightliner to fix. Froze our ass off first and 2nd trip heater was never plugged in and circuit board not seated fully. What was funny the certificate sticker next to unit signed off that everything was ok. I guess what is said is there is no emergency/Care for Thor to want to assist with your on vacation and shit just keeps going bad. Show less

Great quality cabinets and great layout. Very poor craftsmanship. Unlike the factory video, no quality over site! Had a lot of simple problems that better craftsmanship or good quality oversight would have prevented!! No excuse for this at this price level!! Shop elsewhere!!!!!! Show less

The basement when driving in the rain floods. I have two wires loose in water bay just hanging Show less

Great floor plan; however, the quality of the motor home is extremely poor. We’ve had issues with the AC, outside tv has been replaced by us personally, the rear ladder is not very sturdy, right side headlight cover fell off and I could go on. Very disappointing experience and we met another couple last November who have had the same experience. There are other brands. Make sure you do your homework when buying a Thor Aria. We are greatly disappointed and will have to impact resale. Show less

Friends of our cut their losses and sold their Aria for a Dutch Star. The floor plan is great, but everything after that is a huge disappointment. The quality of the workmanship is extremely disappointing. We have had so many problems with the motor home that it would take me days to summarize. When you see discounts on the new models, it’s because the secret is out about quality and customer support. If you are looking for a very disappointing experience and a significant loss in value, buy a Thor and buy it from La Mesa. This is not a disgruntled customer expressing an emotional concern, this is a interested person trying to help others. Show less
