Thor Problems, Again! (Thor Freedom Elite 2016)

The RV has been in the shop for five days now and now we are waiting for our 6th day (1, 2). Which means we have to hang out in the Camping World waiting room. Now our microwave has failed. One would think that would be a quick fix, but apparently not. It’s going to take a month for it to be replaced. I’m not sure if that means they are building a microwave from scratch.  Do I sound bitter? Try living in an RV for a month without a microwave!

Plus, in making the last repair the San Antonio Camping World drilled a hole right through the side making for another potential leak. This is after they had to redrill a bunch of holes for screws that broke. While they sealed the old holes, they are all potential future leaks. 

We had problems with Camping World repairs already. Some items they fixed half-way. Some items they fixed but broke other items while making the first fix. Everything takes a LONG time. Though, it’s better than the Camper Clinic in Rockport. We called there hoping to get better repairs. It was 3 months before they had an open appointment. What?!

Another issue is the overall quality of the RV. The mattress is extremely uncomfortable (along with already collapsing again). We bought a pad for the top. John had to buy and install better vents on the top. The Thor ones were flimsy and it rained inside when it rained outside.

We’re not happy with the quality of the Thor RV or Camping World repairs!
