Detailed Comparison

Two noteworthy RVs face off: the 2024 Thor Magnitude 36BH and the 2024 Thor Compass 23TE. From dimensions to amenities, here's the full breakdown.

Starting with size, the Thor Magnitude 36BH measures 25.5 ft long and tips the scales at 12,900 lbs dry weight. The Thor Compass 23TE comes in at 32.5 ft with a dry weight of 10,400 lbs. That gives the Thor Compass 23TE roughly 7.0 extra feet of length.

Capacity-wise, expect to sleep 8 in the Thor Magnitude 36BH versus 5 in the Thor Compass 23TE. With 1 and 3 slide-outs respectively, the parked floor plans differ significantly.

Tank capacities are a key off-grid consideration. The Thor Magnitude 36BH carries 37 gal of fresh water, 45 gal gray, and 30 gal black. The Thor Compass 23TE offers 49 gal fresh, 43 gal gray, and 39 gal black. The Thor Compass 23TE has the edge for extended dry camping.
