This is something I agree with 100% and forgot was once a priority.
A lot of motorhomes seem to have the tv above the cockpit and I never cared for that look. Firstly, I know it would cause a distraction while traveling down the road and the kids would have their tablets attached playing movies. I like how they can sit at the table or on the sofa and watch tv above the counter.
Secondly, I love the openness of the ACE even when parked and looking out the front window. I just feels more 'airy' up front.

Although I like my Hurricane Thor doesn't produce a coach with what I want concerning the chassis, floor plan and options.

Yes, I would buy another Thor Coach

As previously noted, we own a 2016 Ace 29.3. We have some issues, growing pains with the new coach but we have to agree, yes we would buy another. Next time maybe a Miramar or Palazzo though as we would like something a little bigger with a washer & dryer. Right now we are experiencing a slide problem but are confident Thor will make it good. Thank you all for your input.

Yes! No problem with my A.C.E. Purchase. My next would be a DP. No issues with Thor or my Ace at both dealing with the company and my rig have been fine. My approach to THOR Corp is not coming in like a ass and being treated as I would want to be treated. Thor has always been good to me so why would I not buy another.

Absolutely absolutely love our Palazzo out in it all the time! We have not had any real issues out of the ordinary, only small minor things you would expect or that we read on all of the owner forms.

Looking forward to going to Elkhart in the fall for the TDC rally, this will allow us to meet other Thor owners and factory reps.

Old saying an unsatisfied customer will tell 10 to 15 people and a satisfied one will only tell a couple. I believe in this as a company owner and see it happen all the time locally. I don't think this form is any different. Even I would have to say I'm the same way when unsatisfied

Safe Travels to All.

2015 ACE 29.3

Would buy Thor again. This is our third motor home, first two were Winnebago, one C gas, one A diesel. Have had few problems with the new ACE, warranty response was very good on the one item we asked for. We have done many upgrades. The upgrades were personal preference and we knew we would be doing most of these before we purchased the unit. The purchase price was so low that we feel the ACE is an excellent value, even with the costs of upgrades.We plan to keep this one for 10 years, so there may not be a "next one". We may end up neighbors to EricGT in the Keys.

We have the 29.3 as well. Love the floor plan. What upgrades did you do?

Last year at a FMCA rally in Phoenix Thor had several coaches on display. I was super impressed with their looks and inside layout. Beautiful paint!
I always wondered where Thor's factory warrantee was performed? That was the main reason we backed away from Thor.
Based on looks and layout, Thor was head and shoulders above all the other coaches that were displayed at the rally, and I mean all, regardless of price.

Slide problem is no more. No problem. No clue as to why it gave me a problem but all is well.

Yes, happy with our coach and far the price and floor plan, Thor was our best option. When we out grow this one, I would have said no, but Thor owns Entegra now, so I will be staying with Thor.
