2025 Thor Motor Coach Chateau 27P Specs
Towing, weights and what the 2025 Thor Motor Coach Chateau 27P can handle
Start with the numbers, because they decide whether this coach works for you before anything inside it does. The 2025 Thor Motor Coach Chateau 27P carries a GVWR of 14,500 lbs and a gross combined weight rating of 18,500 lbs, with a towing capacity of 5,500 lbs and a hitch weight of 1,252 lbs. Dry weight is listed at 5,822 lbs and cargo capacity at 1,778 lbs. Overall length is 28' 8", width is 102" and height is 11' 1", so it fits the kind of campsite and the kind of parking lot that a 35-footer argues with.

What those figures mean in practice: weigh the car, boat or utility trailer you actually plan to pull, loaded the way you'd really load it, and check it against the 5,500 lb rating and the 1,252 lb hitch weight before you commit. Then add the coach, your passengers and your gear and make sure the total sits under 18,500 lbs. Don't take the brochure weight of your tow vehicle at face value, look up its own door-jamb and title ratings and do the math on your own numbers.
Underneath is the Ford E-Series chassis with the 7.3L V8, rated 325 hp at 3,750 RPM and 450 lb-ft of torque at 3,750 RPM, with tire pressure monitoring. Fuel capacity is 55 gallons and the tires are 15". Thor's SmoothTECH ride enhancement is part of the chassis package, which matters more on I-15 crosswinds than it does on paper. An electric stabilizing system takes the bounce out once you've parked.
Three numbers do most of the deciding here: 5,500 lbs of towing capacity tells you what can follow you up Parleys, 1,778 lbs of cargo capacity tells you how much family and gear you can load before the scale says no, and 28' 8" of overall length tells you which campgrounds will take you.
Check all three against your own plans before you fall in love with the floorplan.
Tanks, solar and power
Fresh water is 81 gallons, grey is 106 gallons and black is 53 gallons. That grey capacity is the one worth noticing, because showers and dishes are usually what ends a boondocking stretch, not drinking water. A 200 W solar charging system with a power controller sits on the roof, and there's a 4,000-watt gas generator on board for the heavier loads. The refrigerator is 12-volt with auto generator start, so if the batteries drop while you're off at the trailhead, the generator handles it without you standing there.
Climate control is a ceiling ducted air conditioning system at 15,000 BTU and a 30,000 BTU furnace, and hot water comes from a tankless water heater, which means the second and third shower are as warm as the first. The monitor panel keeps tank levels and systems in one place.
Sleeping six, and where the gear goes
This floorplan sleeps 6. It's a Class C motorhome with a queen bed, and there's a bunk for the kids plus the dinette doing its usual duty. Interior ceiling height is 84", so adults aren't ducking through the main living space.
Storage is the question every family asks second and should probably ask first. Outside there's a MEGA-Storage exterior compartment plus lighted rotocast compartments, which is where the camp chairs, hockey bags, totes and leveling blocks live. Inside, the closet space handles hanging clothes for a long weekend without anyone living out of a duffel.
The walk-through
Come in the entry door and the single slide opens up the living and dining area. The dinette gives you a table for meals, card games and the laptop that inevitably comes along.
The galley has a recessed 3-burner gas cooktop and oven with a glass cover, so the burners disappear under counter space when you're not cooking.
There's rear entertainment in this unit, and an outdoor kitchen, which is the feature that keeps the inside clean when six people are camping. Bacon grease and wet dogs stay outdoors where they belong. Overhead, the 16' power patio awning with LED lighting covers the outdoor cooking and seating area and lights it after dark.
The bathroom has a proper shower rather than a wet-bath compromise, which again is not a given at this length.
Construction is welded tubular aluminum roof and sidewall cage with a premium one-piece roof, a one-piece fiberglass front cap and a one-piece upper rear cap, finished in slick fiberglass with the standard graphics package. Fewer seams across the top is the single best thing you can ask of an RV roof in a climate that goes from 100 degrees in July to snow load in January.
As a used Class C motorhome, this one gives you the equipment list of a current model year without the first-owner depreciation. If you've been scrolling Class C motorhomes for sale in Utah and bouncing between coaches too long for your campsite and trailers that need a truck you don't own, a 28' 8" coach with 1,778 lbs of cargo capacity is the shape of the answer.
