One Tuscany 38SQ drawback

Going to the side radiator reduced the coach by one cargo bay. Thus now the engine and Coach batteries [8 qty] are now located in the bottom of the rear clothes closet inside. So to check the batteries one has to empty the closet and remove the cover of the specially designed Vented compartment to get to them for service. I would go with a set of sealed AGM's to preclude access. [ not lithium's as they are not compatible with the firefly multiplex system at this time] It does spread the weight of the batteries across back of coach so that is a plus.

Noted the theater seat has a leg support but the back of seat stays in same upright position. A reclining wall hugger would be a better choice.

- Girard roof mount Awnings! finally, a Thor diesel model that brings that upscale look

- front drop down bunk option - a very nice addition for those who want sleeping options without the need to open up couches! (hopefully there's still room to exit the coach)

- side radiator! finally, a Thor diesel model that is a true higher-end diesel platform - and easy access to the engine

- QD10,000 generator - enough the fill the needs of any size coach

go ahead and order me one!
(wait... I also like the new Fleetwood Discovery LXE, the new Entegra Aspire, and the recently announced new Newmar NewAire! .... get me one of each!)

Awesome new features. I would absolutely love to upgrade my 2013 Tuscany 40EX, but the money lost to do an upgrade makes it financially impossible for us. Not to mention the registration fees would double again (we pay 2500 in AZ now). I think it would be nice to get a new coach but have to stop and be wise about it sooner or later. To those of you who upgrade every few years, kudos to you for setting yourselves up financially to do that.

Just blows my mind a company as large as Thor can't get someone who actually knows how to use a video camera, mic set up, and edit video properly SMH

Errrr....that was their "FaceBook Live" effort. And the OP was a dealership video.

Don't think anyone should be expecting finished market quality production on FaceBook Live.

But that level of effort is done by Thor Motor Coach on their YouTube channel like last year's overview of the 2017 Tuscany:
