Thor Hurricane 29L vs Thor Hurricane 35J

Thor · Class A

The difference that matters

Size and chassis rating separate these gas Hurricanes. The 35J is 36.8 ft long on a 22,000 lb GVWR, sleeping seven; the 29L is 30.9 ft on an 18,000 lb rating, sleeping six. That extra 4,000 lb of GVWR gives the longer coach more room to carry gear for a full family.

Everything else is shared: the Ford 7.3L V8 with 335 hp, a 5.5 kW dual-fuel generator with auto start, 100 W of solar, a 1,800 W inverter, automatic leveling jacks, a king bed and an 8,000 lb tow rating. Tanks are identical at 50 gal fresh and 40 each gray and black. The 35J adds enclosed and heated holding tanks.

The 29L lists around $222,000 and the 35J around $243,000.

Thor Hurricane 29L: A Class A short enough for most state parks, with a king bed, for a couple or small family.
Thor Hurricane 35J: Families of up to seven who camp in cooler weather and need more room and capacity
