This was our second trip with Thor! An absolutely awesome RV with incredible support from Mady and John whenever you have a question or need assistance. We'll be taking it out again next year for sure!

Well, how should I start.  My wife and I booked Madys RV for 20 nights, to drive from Toronto to Halifax.   The owner did his walkthough with me when we were picking up the RV.  He went through the usual stuff, and I noticed that the propane was very low.  He assured me that it would be lots for our trip.  He mentioned the the engine AC sucked.  Told me that I could turn on the Generator, and then fire up the cabin AC’s.   So we loaded up, and went on our way for a 4,000 km journey.  For the most part, everything was fine.   We spent our first night at a Kingston ON Campsite.  When we opened up the fridge, everything fell into the door, then onto the floor.  One jar broke of my homemade sauce that was for my daughter.  We then tried to reorganize the fridge.  When we parked at out site, I went to hook up our Roku wifi/Tv system.  Spent too long with the RV’s wiring, and just hooked it my HDMI to the dinettes  TV.  Got that working, but no chance to play anything on the Bedroom or outside TV.  Next day off to a sight in Northern Quebec. During our drive, I noticed that the muffler was falling really low.  Then we noticed a screeching noise when driving, and we stopped in a gas station, and yes, the muffler had dropped and was scraping on the road.  I thought I should get a wire coat hanger, and see if I could fix it for now.  After going to several stores, I got a wire coat hanger, and lifted the muffler, and secured it as best as I could.  Now, off to PEI.   When we arrived at our PEI site, the muffler has fallen again, and we actually ran over it.  We lifted it just to get to our campsite.  Great campsite.  We took a taxi to Charletown and had lunch.  On our return I asked the cab driver to stop at Home Depot, to get some plumbers strapping, bolts and lock nuts.  On returning to our site, I secured the muffler.  Also, the automatic stairs stopped engaging.  When you open the door, the 2 steps automatically come out. The owner gave me some trouble shooting, but it did not work.  On our campsite map, there was an ad for service on site for RVs.  I called the owner, and he authourization to get it fixed, and he would e-transfer me the money.  OK.  They come, and it was a loose ground wire.  Fixed, and $299. WE now enjoy another day on PEI.   Off to our daughters in Dartmouth.  We parked in their backyard, with a water hook up, and only a 15amp breaker.  That was fine.  The nights were getting cold, at 13C.  The first night, the propane furnace came on.  It was great.  Second night, no heat!  No propane!  We froze for 5 more nights, and had to buy a space heater. In the meantime, I had been texting the owner on my $331 e-transfer.  No reply for days.  After 12 nights, we left my daughters place to head back home. The owners wife, Mady, did say she would cover $50 of propane Finally after 2 weeks, I was e-transfered $400. I put $47 worth of propane in the RV.  Hot showers, and the furnace now worked. I never did use the BBQ, as when you open the storage where it is, the dirt, grease and grime told me, do not use. The other big issue is that when you are going up a hill, it misfires, engine light flashes, and engine slows down.  I dreaded any hill.  Yes, it is a Ford motor and chassis and not meant for this. The cleaner who “cleaned” the RV before pick up, was not very good.  The garbage and stuff under the two captain chairs and recliners was pretty bad. To sum up, we did enjoy our trip, but the RV had so many issues.  They should have offered something back.
