What a piece of CRAP. It probably would be easier to say what does work on my little over-a-year-old 2022 Thor Freedom Elite. The expression lipstick on a pig is what you get with a Thor Motor home. They look nice on the showroom floor, but you are looking at the lipstick. Own it for a year, use it a couple of times, and the piss poor quality of materials and the shoddy workmanship shine through.
The propane gauge reads empty when the tank is 2/3 full. The black water tank reeds full when it is less than 1/4 full. The Formica countertop and table are delaminating. The table is broken again - fixed twice before. The paneling is so cheap (more like cardboard than real wood), and so poorly stapled that it is literally falling off the walls. Screws that were screwed into the super cheap walls have all ripped out and there is no good repair because the panel boards are paper thin and the cheapest quality wood-like material they won’t hold a screw even with epoxy or wood glue. The blinds, for example, are falling off the walls and you can’t get the screws to hold by any means. The plastic film (super cheap) is peeling off the walls in numerous places because the glue they used can’t take the heat of Arizona. The microwave nearly fell out of its hole in the cabinet when its screws fell out. The shower floor support has given way and drops 2 inches every time you step on it. They forgot to seal some places around the shower and there is water damage where they forgot to seal. The refrigerator door latch does close every time. The bathroom door doesn’t close unless you move the wall back in place that holds the door - the wall literally moves back and forth. The opening roof vents are so cheap plastic and the plastic has already failed. Talking with another owner they said they carry two spares and a roll of duck tape. You need the duct tape because the two spares are not enough if you get a light hail storm it will crack all the vents and you get water everywhere if you don’t tape them up. The other two plumbing vents (again such cheap thin plastic) have already broken off in the wind.
We were lied to when we were told Thor was a quality-built motor home. There is no quality in any aspect of this piece of crap. Just try using the shower head. The motor home sites tell you to replace that right away as they can’t even put in a shower head that works.
