Thor A.C.E. Class A Gas Motorhomes For Sale

Thor A.C.E. FAQs

What is the Thor A.C.E.?

The Thor A.C.E. is Thor Motor Coach's RUV (Recreational Utility Vehicle), a crossover Class A gas motorhome built on the Ford F-53 chassis. It pairs the walk-through Class A floor plan and panoramic windshield with the lower profile and easier driving dynamics of a Class C. The A.C.E. is aimed at first-time Class A buyers and families who want more interior room than a compact Class C but don't want the height or driving character of a full-size Class A.

What does A.C.E. stand for?

A.C.E. stands for "Class A-Class C Evolution." Thor Motor Coach coined the term when the A.C.E. launched as the first true crossover motorhome, combining the interior layout of a Class A with the height, driving position, and entry price of a Class C.

Is the Thor A.C.E. a Class A or a Class C motorhome?

The Thor A.C.E. is technically a Class A motorhome, but it's marketed and priced as a crossover. Thor uses the A.C.E. acronym ("Class A-Class C Evolution") to signal the hybrid positioning. The A.C.E. runs the open Class A floor plan and panoramic windshield while keeping the lower overall height, easier driving dynamics, and lower entry price typically associated with a Class C.

What chassis is the Thor A.C.E. built on?

The Ford F-53 chassis, which is the standard Class A gas platform. Exact chassis and powertrain specs (engine size, GVWR, wheelbase, hitch rating) vary by model year and floor plan, so verify with an MHSRV salesperson on the specific A.C.E. you're considering.

What is the difference between the Thor A.C.E., Thor Vegas, and Thor Axis?

All three are Thor Motor Coach RUVs (Recreational Utility Vehicles), a lineup of Class A gas motorhomes built for easy driving and lower entry prices. The A.C.E. is the largest and most family-focused of the three, with more square footage, more storage, and family layouts including a dedicated bunk model (the 32B). The Thor Vegas and Thor Axis are shorter and more compact, aimed at couples and shoppers who want maximum maneuverability. Pick the A.C.E. for family layouts and bunk options. Pick the Vegas or Axis for the shortest, most maneuverable RUV.

Does the Thor A.C.E. come in a bunk model floor plan?

Yes. The Thor A.C.E. 32B is the bunk model in the A.C.E. lineup. It adds dedicated interior bunk beds on top of the standard cab-over drop-down bunk and the rear bedroom, giving families three sleeping zones. The 32B (33 ft 5 in, 22,000-lb GVWR, sleeps 7) is one of the more family-friendly Class A gas motorhomes available at MHSRV.

Does the Thor A.C.E. have a drop-down bed over the cab?

Yes. Every A.C.E. includes a drop-down power bedding system over the cab area. During the day it stows into the ceiling and opens up the driver-passenger area. At night it lowers to become an overhead sleeping space that adds bed capacity without stealing floor space. That drop-down bunk is one of the features that makes the A.C.E. work for families in a footprint smaller than a full-size Class A.

Does the Thor A.C.E. have automatic leveling?

Automatic leveling jacks are available on the A.C.E. Standard versus optional status can vary by model year and floor plan, so verify with your MHSRV salesperson on the specific unit you're considering.

Is the Thor A.C.E. pet-friendly?

Yes. The A.C.E. is one of the more pet-friendly Class A motorhomes on the market. A pull-out drawer with an FDA-approved pet bowl liner is available, which keeps food and water bowls stable during travel and stows cleanly when parked. Combined with the residential vinyl flooring (easier to clean than carpet) and the lower step-in height, the A.C.E. works well for owners traveling with dogs or cats.

Is the Thor A.C.E. good for first-time RV buyers?

Yes, and that's a big reason it exists. The A.C.E.'s lower overall height, automotive-style cab, easy-to-drive Ford F-53 chassis, and 3-camera monitoring system make it noticeably less intimidating than a full-size Class A or diesel pusher. It's a common step-up choice for buyers moving out of a travel trailer, fifth wheel, or Class C into a first Class A.

Can I drive the Thor A.C.E. without a special license?

In all US states, yes. The A.C.E. sits under 26,001 pounds GVWR (well under the commercial driver's license threshold) and under the length triggers for any state's non-commercial motorhome endorsement rules. A standard driver's license covers it everywhere in the US.

How much does a Thor A.C.E. cost?

Pricing on new and used A.C.E. motorhomes varies by model year, floor plan, options, and current inventory. MHSRV discounts every new A.C.E. well below MSRP. Used A.C.E. inventory is priced competitively and reconditioned before sale. Contact the sales team for a current out-the-door quote on a specific in-stock unit.
