UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

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.

Potential Consequences:

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.

EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER

Potential Consequences:

The Awning extends and retracts several times in a row, at about 1 foot extension, on intermittent occasions. If it goes fully out at highway speeds it could release from the van and potentially hit another vehicle, causing serious damage up to and including death. Thor has not issued a recall on this vehicle but other vehicles (Travato) with this same Awning have been recalled. This is an accident waiting to happen, actually it has happened numerous times already.

Defect Description:

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

This Thor Scope Class B RV is manufactured with two auxiliary batteries outside of and under the chassis to power electrical components in the RV. These batteries are not associated with the Promaster chassis/engine power and appear to be installed by the RV manufacturer. When the vehicle was delivered, there was a problem with battery charging in the auxiliary power system that was eventually traced to a cable that was supposed to connect the two auxiliary battery + terminals. That cable was connected two one battery but was left loose and disconnected in the other battery box. There is/was no overcurrent protection on this cable, and had the cable touched ground, it would have resulted in a direct short across the other battery, likely causing a fire. The lack of quality control at the manufacturer to deliver a vehicle with an imminent fire risk needs to be addressed.

Corrective Action:

This Thor Scope Class B RV is manufactured with two auxiliary batteries outside of and under the chassis to power electrical components in the RV. These batteries are not associated with the Promaster chassis/engine power and appear to be installed by the RV manufacturer. When the vehicle was delivered, there was a problem with battery charging in the auxiliary power system that was eventually traced to a cable that was supposed to connect the two auxiliary battery + terminals. That cable was connected two one battery but was left loose and disconnected in the other battery box. There is/was no overcurrent protection on this cable, and had the cable touched ground, it would have resulted in a direct short across the other battery, likely causing a fire.
