When it comes to motorhomes, Thor Motor Coach is one of the most recognizable RV brands. Anyone in the market for a motorhome will likely cross paths with at least one of their lines of Class A, B, or C RVs. With a lineup as extensive as Thor’s, a comprehensive overview will help you identify the models and floorplans to research more closely.
Some of Thor Motor Coach’s brand recognition may be attributed to its parent company, Thor Industries, one of the largest RV manufacturers in the industry. On its own, Thor Motor Coach is one of North America’s leading motorhome manufacturers, offering more than 120 motorized RV models.
You’re in the right place if you’re considering or comparing a Thor motorhome to competitors from Winnebago, Forest River, Tiffin, or even Jayco. We provide an overview of their extensive lineup to point you in the right direction. Have additional questions? Be sure to leave them in the comments below.
Let’s kick off with Thor’s smallest, most versatile lineup, their Class B motorhomes.
Thor Class B Motorhomes
Of the three classes of motorhomes they manufacture, their Class B camper vans are the newest (a result of a merger in 2010 between Damon Motor Coach and Four Winds International). Thor currently offers 12 lines of Class B campers on Ford, Ram, and Mercedes chassis.
Class B RVs are known and loved for being versatile and easy to drive. Thor recognized an increased demand for these adaptable RVs and expanded their lineup, which now ranges from basic entry-level “sleepers” to more luxurious, feature and amenity-packed floorplans.
The difference across Thor’s twelve lines breaks down in two ways.
First, there are several brother-sister pairs across their lines, which are nearly identical except for cosmetic differences. Those include Dazzle and Twist, Scope and Rize, Sequence and Tellaro, Sanctuary and Tranquility, Palladium and Talavera (and the Mercedes-Benz versions of Sequence and Tellaro).
Next, Thor organizes their Class B campers by chassis, with entry-to-mid level units using various-sized Ram ProMaster chassis (Dazzle, Twist, Scope, Rize, Sequence Transit, Tellaro Transit), more luxurious units using Ford Transit chassis (Sanctuary, Tranquility, Palladium, Talavera), and their 4×4-capable, diesel sprinter vans (Sequence and Tellaro) with Mercedes-Benz chassis.

Thor Class C RVs
Like its van camper models, Thor’s Class C motorhomes run the gamut from entry-level Class C RVs for those just getting into RVing to Mercedes-Benz Super C campers that offer luxury, residential features, and off-road capability. That’s great news for RV buyers. You get a large selection to find the right fit for your family.
Be sure to familiarize yourself with Super C RVs so you can differentiate these among Thor’s lineup.
Class C campers offer a perfect middle ground between Class A motorhomes and Class B vans. Generally, they give you more mobility, extra storage, and higher sleeping capacity. With Thor’s Class C RVs, look for the slide-out number, size, and placement. On their larger Super C units, there’s a significant addition to the living area. The same goes for their added storage capabilities.
Class C motorhomes are often recognized for being easier to drive than their larger Class A counterparts. Thor’s Class C models take that a step further with new features like hill-start assist, lane departure warning, and, in some models, SmoothTECH ride enhancement system, which is currently used in ambulances to provide a smooth and stable ride. These added features make for a safer and more comfortable drive.
Here are some other Class C features that Thor offers, but these vary depending on the specific RV model:
- Built-in solar charging system and controller
- Various optional and standard chassis
- Winegard® ConnecT 2.0 (4G Hotspot, Wi-Fi, TV antenna)
- Rapid Camp+ Multiplex System (control power, lighting, slides, tank settings, etc.)
- Automatic Leveling Jacks with Touchpad Controls
As is typical with Thor, you’ll see dual offerings across their gas lineup, and these units only vary cosmetically. Once we get into the diesel options, these are each individual lines with different price points, floorplans, and features.

Who Owns Thor?
Thor Motor Coach is a subsidiary company of Thor Industries, one of the “big three” in RV manufacturing. As well as Thor Motor Coach, Thor Industries owns additional subsidiary companies that also manufacture motorhomes. Prior to 2010, Thor Industries owned Damon Motor Coach and Four Winds International, but it consolidated these two companies to strengthen its motorhome offering, and these became Thor Motor Coach.
In addition to Thor Motor Coach, Thor Industries owns Tiffin Motorhomes, Entegra Coach, and Jayco, all of which produce their own lines of motorhomes. Thor Motor Coach offers the most varied range of motorhomes, from entry-level to luxury, with a similar range of different price options. For this reason, Thor is most well-known for its ability to appeal to various types of RVers.

FAQs About Thor Motor Coach
Still have unanswered questions? Here are some common queries about Thor RVs:
Who manufactures Thor motorhomes?
While Thor Motor Coach is a subsidiary of Thor Industries, they maintain their own manufacturing facilities, primarily located in Elkhart, Indiana and Bristol, Indiana, at multiple dedicated facilities.
Are Thor and Jayco the same?
While both Thor and Jayco are subsidiaries of Thor Industries and both produce motorhomes, they operate as distinct entities that manufacture completely separate units. With many RV manufacturers acting as subsidiaries under the “big three” manufacturers – Thor, Winnebago, and Forest River – this is a common situation for many mid-tier RV makers.
