Due to an unfortunate health issue, I am no longer able to make trips with the coach and certainly do not want it to sit idle and unused.
This coach will come with literally everything you need to get on the road and adventure! Just add your clothing and food and you’ll be off in no time. Includes everything needed from sheets to towels, plates, bowls, glasses, silverware and utensils, everything! Also includes a new water hose, filtration system, black hoses, 50 amp power cables (short and long), and many other accessories.
Owner manuals for the coach, the chassis, and all appliances/electrical do-dads are present.
Coach is kept always powered on with either air conditioning or space heaters running depending on the season when not in use.
Coach has never been lived in full-time, and we have never used it for more than about a month consecutively.
The coach has very low miles of 55,875 miles on it, and the generator has only 632 hours on it.



Chassis Features
- The chassis of this coach is the bulletproof Freightliner Custom Chassis. It glides down the road and runs and drives as it should. Air brakes stop the coach without issue. There is absolutely no rust or corrosion on the coach
- The Cummins 300HP ISB 6.7L engine runs flawlessly and has plenty of power, even through mountains. There are no leaks, squeaks, or funny sounds from the engine
- The Allison transmission shifts flawlessly and has no leaks or other issues
- The tires were replaced in 2021 and of course have plenty of tread on them. When parked, the tires have always had UV-protectant covers on them (included). No patches or repairs to tires. TPMS has been installed on the coach
- While this coach does have a DEF system (which I know everyone worries about), ours has worked flawlessly. I did purchase a computer capable of connecting to the Freightliner service connector to reset DEF issues to avoid the dreaded limp mode – this has never happened to us, I just bought the computer as a precaution (included in sale)
Electrical Features
- All electrical items work perfectly. Between the upgraded Battle Born LiFePO4 batteries, the Victron charger/inverter, and the 600W solar array, the coach can be powered indefinitely while boondocking (without using air conditioning)
- Onan 6KW generator is diesel and fed from the main diesel tank. The generator runs smoothly and without issue, and can run both rooftop A/C units due to the Soft Starts installed on both units
- Whirlpool residential refrigerator works perfectly, as do all other onboard appliances (convection oven/microwave, included air fryer, Kuerig)
- Installed a wireless Carplay/Android Auto display on dash with a built in dashcam
- Factory 3-camera system works great and hugely helps with safety. The rear camera is normally displayed, but when turn signals are used, the display automatically switches to a camera built into the side view mirrors to avoid that long blind spot
- The 10 gallon water heater works perfectly, and can be run on either electric or propane
Exterior Features
- Prior to my ownership (I’ve had the coach for 2 1/2 years), the coach was always garaged when not in use. This is obvious when looking at the coach as the paint shines brightly. Even the factory front clear bra is in excellent condition (they typically yellow over time and have to be removed)
- Both slides have toppers, which are great to help protect from leaks at the top of the slides
- The awning works without issue and is fantastic for those sunny days
- The roof was recently cleaned and any spots that looked like the Dicor was getting old were scraped away and replaced
- All storage compartments open and close properly and lock as they should. Seals were recently replaced to ensure they stay watertight
- Entry deadbolt was upgraded with an RVLock allowing for keyless entry via a combination or via remote control (or of course via a key)
- Both rooftop air conditioning units work perfectly and both have the WackO A/C silencers on them
- No cracks in the windshield
- There are several relatively minor scuffs and scratches in the paint, but nothing to detract from the beauty of this coach
- Leveling system has small leak at distribution block. It has been like this since I have owned the coach, likely that one of the pressure lines needs an o-ring replaced, but I just keep the fluid topped off
Interior Features
From front to rear of the coach:
- The dash and driving area is in excellent condition. There’s a LazydaysRV floor covering in that area
- Best part about the drivers area is the desk on the passenger side. It allows for a full work day in comfort – nothing better than a dedicated space if you work remotely
- Both seats were recovered and are in excellent condition. They are very comfortable for all-day driving, or to sit in at a camp site as they swivel around so additional guests have seating
- All switches and knobs work without issue
- Above the driving area is a motorized, full size bunk bed that comes down from the ceiling – it works great, and I’ve been told that the included air mattress is very comfortable
- The sofa pulls out into a full size bed and an air mattress can be used there. The sofa has also been recovered
- I have upgraded both interior televisions to the largest that would fit in the space (sorry, I don’t remember the size). They have Roku, which is excellent for streaming from the included Starlink satellite (hardware is included, not the service)
- The dinette booth has also been recovered and is a relaxing spot to eat, play cards, or chat. The table drops down and an air mattress can be placed there for additional sleeping. At the rear of the booth is a cat-sized opening, and we placed a litter box in the under-booth storage. It’s the perfect place as it provides the cat privacy, keeps the mess contained, and dies a great job of hiding any smell
- All is well in the kitchen! All sink/stove covers are present, the propane three burner stove works perfectly
- Behind the booth is a nice pantry storage area, and behind that are the separate washer and dryer! They are both Splendide brand and work great. It’s so nice when camping to not have to use potentially dirty public laundromats (or even campsite ones)
- Behind the kitchen is the half bath. It’s surprisingly spacious and everything looks and works great in there
- The bedroom is next! The pocket door dividing the area works great
- The queen size bed is incredibly comfortable since we upgraded the mattress just last year with a full memory foam/cool gel one
- There are nightstands on either side of the bed, which is very convenient, and a 110v electrical outlet at the foot of both sides of the bed
- Across from the bed is another television (recently upgraded), two closets, and the dresser
- Behind the bedroom is the full bath! It’s all in excellent condition with no issues and is very spacious. I’m 6’2” tall and can stand in the shower without issue. Huge amounts of storage in the bathroom
- There is storage galore in this coach! I am always amazed by the designers of this coach and their ability to maximize storage
- The luxurious padded ceiling is in excellent condition without any issues
- All windows open and close properly, locks work, and screens are all in place
Upgrades and Notable Repairs
- February 2025 – Rebuilt 3 doors due to common Thor issue of doors bulging due to water intrusion. Doors were disassembled and rebuilt, skinned with aluminum tread plate
- August 2024 – Vroom upgrade to large slide ($6,000). A common issue on the Thor coach large slides is the Shwintek slide system. Prior to me owning it, the mechanisms had been replaced once and it was working fine, but I wanted to avoid an issue mid-trip so I had the upgrade done
- August 2024 – Replaced levelling system controller ($600) with upgraded version due to intermittent issues (solved with controller replacement)
- August 2024 – Oil/filter change on coach and generator (49,000 miles)
