Available Services and Repairs for Thor Motor Coach Motorhomes
Your Thor motorhome relies on a robust chassis to carry you on your adventures, and it requires consistent, expert service. We are fully equipped to service all chassis platforms used by Thor Motor Coach, including the Ford F-53, Ford E-Series, Chevrolet 4500, Freightliner S2RV, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, and Ram ProMaster.
Preventative Maintenance
Whether you have a Ford F-53 chassis or a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van, we follow the specific maintenance schedules recommended by the chassis manufacturer. This includes correct oil and filter changes for gas and diesel engines, fuel and air filter replacements, fluid checks (coolant, brake, transmission, differential), and chassis lubrication.
Brake System Repairs
We are equipped to service the full range of brake systems on your Thor motorhome, from the hydraulic disc brakes on a Class B van to the heavy-duty hydraulic and air brake systems on Class A diesel pushers. We perform pad and rotor replacements, caliper service, brake fluid flushes, and air dryer service to ensure your vehicle has the stopping power it needs.
Engine and Transmission Services
Our technicians are experienced with the diverse power plants in the Thor lineup, from Ford’s Godzilla V8 and Ram’s V6 to the Cummins diesels in their Freightliner chassis. We provide complete diagnostics, ignition and fuel system service, and full maintenance for the heavy-duty automatic transmissions (like Allison and TorqShift) to keep your RV running smoothly.
Suspension and Steering System Maintenance
A Class A Hurricane requires a different alignment setup than a Class B Tellaro, and our state-of-the-art heavy-duty alignment rack can handle them all. We also service steering stabilizers, replace worn shocks and struts, and inspect leaf spring packs and bushings to eliminate steering wander and provide a stable, comfortable ride.
Cooling System Maintenance
A motorhome engine is always under stress, making its cooling system critical. We inspect the entire system, including the radiator, radiator fans, water pump, and all hoses, to ensure they are in perfect condition. We perform complete coolant flushes with the manufacturer-specified coolant to prevent overheating and corrosion.
Electrical System Diagnostics and Repairs
We troubleshoot and repair the 12-volt automotive system that starts your engine and powers your driving controls. This includes testing and replacing chassis batteries, diagnosing failing alternators and starters, and fixing issues with factory lighting or dashboard warning lights.
Note: We do not service the 120V “house” electrical system.
Exhaust System Repairs
A safe and quiet ride is essential. We inspect the entire exhaust system for leaks, which can be a serious safety hazard on an RV. We can replace damaged mufflers, resonators, and sections of pipe, as well as service the catalytic converter to ensure your gas engine runs cleanly and efficiently.
Tire Services
RV tires require special attention due to their heavy loads and long periods of sitting. We inspect your tires for both tread wear and age-related sidewall cracking (checking date codes). Our heavy-duty equipment can handle the rotation, balancing, and replacement of all load-rated RV tires for your Thor motorhome.
DEF System Maintenance (for Diesel Engines)
For all Thor diesel models, including the Magnitude, Palazzo, and Sprinter-based vans, a functional Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) system is critical for performance and emissions compliance. We provide complete DEF system service, including fluid refills, diagnostics for DEF-related warning lights, and cleaning or replacing sensors and injectors.
