STEERING
Potential Consequences:
RV- 2022 Thor Miramar 34.5 With 2021 Ford F53 Chassis I appreciate your attention because this is the BIGGEST issue and safety concern. We spent over 160k on this class A that doesn't even feel safe to drive. As the driver or passenger, we are white knuckled. There is no stability when driving. The steering wheel is all over the place. A gust of wind pushes us off the road, every bump completely jars the camper. This is absolutely horrible. It is unsafe and scary. We are very experienced drivers and have drove large trucks and fire trucks. But this doesn't compare to anything we have ever driven. But they said don't worry you can fix that: Install springs, shocks, sway bar, trac bar. All an additional added cost! 160k now add a 10k more to make it safe on the road. Why would Thor allow this on the road? Why build a camper that you know is unstable and then say oh you can add this to improve your drive. It's called taking the short cut, bare minimum to get it out the door. And it's a horrible practice. Why not add stability to the camper. This camper model 34.6 is extremely unstable while driving.

Defect Description:
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
This is a Class A Motorhome. It has one door for entering and exiting the camper. The door handle to get in and out is a horrible design. As a firefighter it scares me and I plan to change it as soon as I find a perfect match. If you are outside trying to get in you can not open the door easily. You have to pull it with 2 hands and violently force, yank, pull the door open. This is definitely a safety concern. This specific type of door handle is a well known issue with Thor motor homes. There has been so many complaints and concerns about it but currently there is no perfect match to replace it. How can Thor be aware of this and still continue to make this handle.
