good information, there is though no mention of the AC condensate draining; it appears it is not directed and is at the mercy of the angle of slope where you are parked. Draining sometimes right above the door to the coach. Not a goo design. Is there a fix? Thanks. P.

@richardkoch8752 3 года назад

You have plenty of room in the kitchen for a oven and rectangular sink. ALSO, move your license plate arrangement so a carrier can be added to the hitch w/o contents blocking the license plate.

Hi, great video. Very informative and helpful. A couple of questions, does the TV up front extend out from the wall and/or swivel? Secondly, how does the sound system for the radio perform. Does it get a least a "little loud" and have decent bass response? As a musician, sound quality is important to me. Thanks a lot!

@ThorMotorCoach 3 года назад

Hi Bob. Each floor plan handles the TV differently. On the TE, it retracts out of the counter and on the TW it is mounted over the entry door not on a swivel. As for the sound system, it has the Ford Sync 3 set up in there and it's pretty good. With the EcoBoost being a fairly quiet engine, you get some decent sound. It's not going to be a Bang & Olufsen, Harman Kardon, or Mark Levinson but I think it holds it own. All you can do is find one on a dealer near you and take one out and give it a listen. Thanks for the questions. - Steve

@thomasgeremia2173 2 года назад

So are you saying that you would need to have the rv's suspension re aligned after its loaded with ones stuff. That sounds like a pain in the especially with how long I've been reading any kind of work takes at these rv centers. I really wonder how many people do that.

I am ordering the 2022 23TW, Frist question: Can I add 175W solar flex in parallel with the existing 100W solar panel? Second question: How many house AGM batteries ? and the Generator automatically run when batteries below the threshold? Third question: How much the clearance from the hookup waste outlet to the ground so that I can insert the macerator?

@@ThorMotorCoach I wonder why they have this 3.5 Eco tamed down so much? In other applications it has up to 400HP and 500 Lbs of torque. Wouldn't that be awesome in these smaller coaches?

@icare7151 3 года назад

Greetings Steve, 1) What is the fuel economy? 2) What chassis options does Thor select from Ford? 3) Are there plans for additional floor-plans? Thank you!

@ThorMotorCoach 3 года назад

Hello. Because these are new models I have yet to see any real world numbers. On the old engine I put 1,000+ miles on a trip and got around 14-15 mpg so I am guessing it will be similar. But until I see feedback from customers I don't have an exact number to give. Our product development team and engineers choose the chassis they feel is appropriate for the vehicle they are designing. As for new floorplans, I am not in on that part of the product - but we are always innovating and looking at customer feedback to create the best motorhomes in the market. Thanks for writing - Steve

@maethornaneth3917 3 года назад

@Thor MotorCoach With Ford now making the Transit Van in an electric version will there be an electric version of the Gemini coming out?

@ThorMotorCoach 3 года назад

Perhaps one day, but not right now. However, I'm sure our engineers and R&D team are thinking about the future of electric and the possibilities. - Steve

@maethornaneth3917 3 года назад

@@ThorMotorCoach Thank you. A question for them to ponder is 'if they can do that is there a way to possibly put enough solar on the unit to power the motor as well as the coach so there would be no need to have to stop every so many miles to recharge?' Just food for thought if/when they get to the planning stages. I look forward to the day when we can all have the ability to be truly self sufficient.

@fender7802 3 года назад

I love the Compass and Gemini. The Ford chassis was a smart choice over the Mercedes diesel. Who the heck wants to pay to maintain a Mercedes engine? I just wish there were other ways to get the cost of this unit down. I don't need AWD. Also don't need everything to be motorized - why not just a pull down shade over the cab? How about an option to remove the Wi-Fi system? Let's ditch some of the unnecessary tech and stick to keeping it simple. Realistically the price at the dealership for this RV should be $75,000.

@mannypvd2296 3 года назад

since this is all wheel drive and the tires cannot be rotated (front to back) would it be detrimental to have uneven wear on the tread?

@ThorMotorCoach 3 года назад

Hi. The tire still need to be rotated. Here is the Transit owners manual to show you the proper rotation pattern. www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/vdirsnet/OwnerManual/Home/Content?variantid=7386&languageCode=en&countryCode=USA&Uid=G2071282&ProcUid=G2102904&userMarket=USA&div=f&vFilteringEnabled=False - Thanks Steve
