And while I've not encountered any major problems with how low the front hydro jacks are mounted, they definitely drag in the dirt occasionally. I use my RV to go camping (boon docking) in the desert most of the time, so more often than not, I'm either driving down a dirt road, or going over uneven terrain on the way to camp. Here is something I just did this weekend. Hopefully other Thor Super C (33SW, 35sk, 35sg, Etc) will chime in as well.īigFoot Levelers,TST in tire TPMS,Bilstein Shocks,Trans temp guage,Lowrace iWAY I've done a few already and will post one of them shortly. I figured it would be useful to try and centralize the communication of issues encountered, how to resolve them and suggestions to improve the coach. The reason I'm starting this thread is because I've noticed a few other Thor Super C owners on here and other forums, that have all mentioned having similar issues (house water pump leaks, front fuel tank filling issues, front hydro jacks too low from the factory, poor house battery capacity, etc.) I've also noticed a few very cool modifications and improvements by others on here as well, such as relocating the house batteries to one of the storage compartments and switching to a bank of four 6v batts. And frankly, should have been done at the factory before shipping off to the dealer! So I saw the F550 chassis based Thor 33SW and bit the bullet.Īfter owning it for about 7 months now, my impression is that Thor came up with a great layout and mated it to a good chassis, but as a result of both production line quality assurance issues and the general feeling that everything beneath the surface was designed to speed up build time, there are many improvements that can be made by owners to make this coach better. I also looked as used medium duty chassis Super C's (older Show Haulers, etc.) but anything close to $100k was too dated looking and generally VERY used. Dynamax's were nice, but out of the $$$ range I was willing to invest on a first MH. I wanted something fairly nice and that could reasonably tow 10k+ LBS, since I have a desert prerunner truck and several motorcycles to trailer out with the family. That said, aside from all of the issues, now that I've resolved most of them either through warranty or just fixing it myself after the local Thor service dealer either did a half-assed job fixing a problem, or just flat out didn't fix it after it sat in their shop for weeks, I like this motorhome. ![]() In short, after driving back to San Diego from where I flew out to purchase it in Texas, it spent its first 3 weeks in the shop with about a dozen issues, ranging from minor to major. I purchased a 2014 Thor Chateau 33SW last August and right from the start I experienced the new RV owner blues.
