We love this Thor Chateau 28z RV for the size, comfort, livability, traveling ease, and convenience. The North/South master bedroom fits perfectly for convenience and comfort. The floor plan works well for traveling, as well as, for camping. The indoor color scheme has a classic look and feel. The exterior color and design is refined, yet sporty. Campy.
Storage compartments, interior and exterior, are unsurpassed for a motor coach this size.

We bought this new 2023 chateau 28z. I can only say I think it was built by 5 year-olds. It's falling apart just on our first trip. The generator has not worked and they fixed it two times kinda makes you wonder about their competence. The door does not latch good it opens on its own. Tire valves are all bent into the rims so I can't correct the over pressured tires. There's a big gap in the side of the door at the bottom of the frame I can see the road. slide side shorts out all the time. Drawer under oven fell apart and had to pans in it that went into the slide underneath. All I can say is they state all this mess about quality but all I see is junk. Stay far away if you know what's good for you. We're not happy at all with this purchase and I will ride them very hard every day to make sure it's all built to my specifications. I have a class a and a fifth wheel so I can do this without messing up my camping and I will be sure to let all in my camping realm know all about Thor and the dealership .

Love the floor plan, drives OK, but quality of workmanship is horrible! Worse yet is the service from General RV which I suggest you avoid they only care about the sale and nothing more, they treat you like crap after the sale, they also charged $3K for what general rv calls “prep” and they did ZERO prep, nothing at all they lied and said all items would be checked and flaws fixed prior to delivery and they did nothing but steal $3K from me!

First motorcoach. Purchased it a month ago with 2300 miles on it. Wondered why previous owner only had it 8 months. Now we know. First trip out- trim flew off over cab100 miles down road. Had to secure it with duct tape. Side of dinette seating fell off after 200 miles- particle board screwed in with teeny tiny screws so when you slide out of dinette, only a matter of time before it falls off. Had to put larger wood screws in from outside. Floor is coming up in several places. Mystery water showed up on floor outside of bathroom and all over kitchen floor- took off panel and find that shower drain connection is broken- flawed floor design under shower- huge hole in plywood near drain so you are actually supported only by a piece of foam- any weight and the drain moves and pipes break. Water soaked all over under the walls, shower, electrical, even outside. Front seats don’t recline because they put the theater seating right up against the back of passenger seat- all they had to do was move theater seat back a couple of inches but instead you have to sit bolt upright in front. Driver seat hits slideout when all closed up. We had to have a piece of the trim cut back to prevent damage to the seat. Air conditioner thermostat is cheap and doesn’t do its job at all. You either freeze because it doesn’t shut off or boil because it doesn’t come on. Cloth trim around passenger seat not attached to anything. Roof not sealed properly so it is bubbling up in a five foot section. Very very disappointed with the quality and workmanship. many switches located inside door along floor- have to bend over to see them even when standing outside. And if in coach at night have to walk down stairs, open door and step out to turn in lights. Sewer pipe hangs low under chassis. Terrified to go over any type of bump. On plus side, Big basement and overall we like the floor plan, other than the front seats issue. We have two thousand miles left on our trip, but will trade this in at first opportunity. Never ever buy a Thor again. Customer service was friendly but said most people don’t try to fix themselves- take back to dealer for repairs. We’d be there all the time.

Our second Motorhome. First one was a learning experience. This motorhome had every feature we wanted.
Great layout and massive storage. Perfect for two. Vacation trips from Illinois to Maine, Florida, Wisconsin and Texas. No problems. Drives and maneuvers easily. Ideal size. Drives like a longer version of our pickup truck. Would recommend this motorhome for short to medium stays.
