Rear exit door on driver side will not open. THOR has placed a cabinet on the side that blocks the emergency exit in case of a kitchen fire. Manufacturer should have reversed the cabinetry or made it where both doors open in case of emergency.

I bought this THOR Scope with a recall on the awning. I reported to you that the fuel leaked from line to generator. I also reported all lines, propane/fuel/electrical touching everything sharp. THOR has tried to fix my awning recall 3 times in less than one year. Each time they say they’ve fixed it, it comes out going down the road. I have to pull the fuse. So does EVERYONE who has bought these. Read the forums. THOR will not provide me a copy of paperwork of what they’ve done. They fly someone in to work on it at a dealer, but won’t say what they’ve done. No record. This RV has so many electrical issues, safety issues that are being ignored. The water filter behind a cabinet has two screws and flops into the back window-eventually breaking it out going down the road. The mounts on the roof solar panel are not thick enough, they will crack and break. Solar panel moves wile going down the road. The couch/rear seat does not have proper construction to hold anything in place. It has two screws holding it in. In a crash, the couch will come apart and impale all those setting on or in front. THOR had the dealer wrap everything under my vehicle after I complained of everything touching sharp objects. Dealer had to replace propane lines after I reported that propane lines curved in a 90deg will crack and eventually break. Mine were bad.. I have documentation. I also had THOR replace the straight fittings from propane tank, with 45-90deg copper fittings. To keep from damaging the new hoses. I had THOR remove zip tied lines to break lines. Look, I worked at the weight stations for years, I used to own two tractor trailers… I know what right looks like…this thing is not safe all the way around and I can’t get the manufacturer to do what’s right. Maybe you can request the records of repair as by law they are supposed to have for you for this exact situation.

While traveling on the highway, the solar panel situated atop the van flew off as a result of strong winds. Fortunately, there were no injuries, but this issue poses a significant risk of severe harm or even fatalities. The solar panel remains unaccounted for. It is noteworthy that other owners of the same vehicle have reported similar problems. I am in contact with a representative of the manufacturer, Thor, but an inspection has not been conducted yet. There were no warning indicators or messages to notify me that the solar panel had detached; instead, it was a passing motorist who alerted me to inspect my roof.

Solar panel on Thor 18M was completely blown off (now missing) the roof during a recent trip on 22-Oct-2022. The only remaining evidence of the solar panel is attached to the mounting brackets. PDF with pictures attached.
