Damon says: "From the ground up, Challenger is designed and built for the luxury gas motorhome buyer who wants more for his and her money. What other brands list as optional equipment Challenger delivers as standard features for much less than you’d expect. We challenge you to find a better motorhome.  You’ll find high-end amenities, clever uses of space, solid structural integrity and simply more of everything. And most of all, with Damon, you’ll always get more for your money!"

The Damon Challenger provides many features including lots of pass-through storage as well as recessed lighting as standard. Also standard is a one piece windshield for panoramic views.  You can see the panoramic windshield in the view below:

FLOORPLANS

We show 6 floorplans for the Challenger below.  If you click on any of the images it will take you to a bigger picture with further information: 

The 348 is a nice 2 slide layout while the 368 has a one and a half bathroom layout that many people now like.  The 371 has 3 slides and the "industry first front parlor entertainment area."  The 376 is the arrangement shown in the views above; this is also the model with the bunk beds.  The 377 has 3 slides and a really nice round dining table arrangement.  The 378 has a center kitchen sink and countertop arrangement.  The Challenger really does have a wide range of variations within the floorplan range.

The Damon Challenger has a lot of features that come as standard.  There is also a wide range of options and a "platinum edition package" that includes full body paint, gelcoat poured sidewalls and much more.  We think the Challenger is a really nice class A at a really nice price.
 

Base MSRP from $109,193 - $124,187(3/2009)

BonabobI own a 2009 Damon Challenger. It came with vinyl (leatherette) seat covers, 2 captain chairs and 2 couches) The unit turned 21 months old and the vinyl is peeling off the backing everywhere. Damon sent me the same defective material and said install it yourself. Damon Many owners are having the same problem and Flexsteel will not help because they say Damon supplied the defective material. Damon (Thor) does not stand behind its products, it merely hides behind its weak warranty.
Mike A.We absolutely love our Damon Challenger!! Great value for the money. Has anybody had any problem with the wheel fenders separating at the seams?? Splitting?? They seem very inadequate in structure!!

BobI purchased a new 2009 Damon Challenger. The customer service from Thor/Damon cannot be beat.They are the best. However my coach must have been built on the day after the annual Christmas party because it is in the shop more than it is used for poor workmanship.
Maxwell KrobYes, I've also found the Damon coaches to be much cheaper, but now I own an Astoria and wish I has saved the cash on my first two coaches. I think they just stay focused on make it a value.
jaseessThe motor home on the wheel with all the comforts and facilities, which is really a great experience.
Jamesi have a 2001 damon challenger with 41k and runs great for a 454 but what i don't like is i get a lot of air noise while driving and i can not cool the darn thing. we replaced the front windows $$$ helped a little but still can't cool with 15k unit...any suggestions??
Peter PAs a person of interest with regards buying his first RV the RoTi reviews are really interesting. I have narrowed my search to three manufacturing companies Tiffin Allegro Bus, Monaco Knight and Thor Damon units. I can't understand why the Damon range appear so cheap in comparison to the other two companies. I am looking for any feedback on this subject. Is quality the major issue here?
Brent ThompsonHave a 2004 challenger. Best motorhome I ever had. Very dependable. Problems with some electrical aspects during the warranty period but the warranty covered it all. Would recommend Damon.
Davei own a damon challenger 1997 it is by far one of the best motor homes i have ever had.............very dependable
