Howard RV experiences?

Have any Windsport owners out there dealt with Howard RV in Wilmington NC--the closest dealer to us. Also what do you think of your Windsport. The list of Thor complaints we have been reading on this forum is making me wonder if we should avoid this brand altogether. Are there any HAPPY Thor owners out there?

I've used Howard's RV. Good people.
We have a Thor Palazzo. Love it!

If I you, I'd look around more.
IMO, & in my experience, Thor products are very well thought out, but poorly executed.
Experience with model 27.1 Ace only, not Windsport, but they look very similar in layout & equipment, both interior & exterior.
If you are very mechanical I'd have less concern.
If you have a good dealer with a good repair/service reputation I'd have even less concern.
With one major exception, repair items we ran into were all readily fixable, but going through CW as intermediary to Thor (to get authorization & work done correctly) was a pain that cost us many weeks in delay, confusion, and maddening frustration.
Good luck!!!

We have 2008 Windsport 36R and we have had minor issues when new, nothing major at all. We love the floor plan and have no regrets with our purchase.
