What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
The front cap above the drivers and passenger compartment come loose from the body. Mine has been to a few dealers and back to Thor's plant. They supposedly fixed it at Thor. But it is coming apart again.
These units are ticking time bombs! Additionally, we believe our coach is beginning to show symptoms of 'cap separation' - ie the bunk over the cab of the F550 chasis is separating from the rest of the RV 'box'.
