since erins View thread got a bunch of us comparing notes i figured id put up our actual numbers on the Omni after a full year. 2022 Thor Omni Super C RB34, Ford F-550 4x4 chassis, 6.7 Power Stroke, TorqShift 10 speed, 12,670 miles when we bought it, one owner. family of five plus a golden, so the bunks and the 12,000 pound tow rating were the whole reason we went Super C. the boat comes with us.
found it on rubiautosales.com in october of last year after months of watching the nashville and louisville lots, where the same year Omnis were 170 to 175 with more miles. the listing was around 149. asked rubi for the service history and they had the ford maintenance printout plus the thor warranty work. we hired an inspector out of their area who spent most of a day on it and he found a chassis battery that tested weak on the load test and a loose bracket on the passenger side awning arm. that was the whole list. no moisture, no delamination on the fiberglass, roof good.
we had it transported to nashville in november and have put a little over 11,000 miles on it since, mostly to the gulf and up into the smokies. here is what it actually cost to own a 2022 Omni Super C for a year, for anyone trying to budget one of these.
| Fuel (11,200 miles, about 9.5 mpg, boat behind it half the time) | $4,900 |
| Oil change plus both fuel filters, 6.7 Power Stroke (ford truck dealer) | $410 |
| Chassis battery (knew going in, priced accordingly) | $265 |
| Awning arm bracket and hardware | $48 |
| Six 19.5 tires, my choice to do early (Continental HDR, mounted) | $3,900 |
| Full coverage insurance (annual) | $2,140 |
that is the honest year. the tires were my call, the originals were 2021 date codes with plenty of tread, but i tow 8,000 pounds of boat with my kids in the back and i wanted new rubber before the smokies. nothing else broke. the spread against the nashville dealer, 23 grand for a cleaner unit with fewer miles, makes buying off the rubi lot an easy call looking back.
