Plug in 120 Volt AC devices here. The kitchen, bathroom, and outside receptacles are
protected by a ground fault current interrupter. If the appliance does not operate, check
the circuit breaker located in the 120 Volt breaker box. (See page 42)
The 120 Volt power cord is stored in one of the rear compartments on the driver's side of
the motorhome. Plug the shore end into a suitable 30 amp power receptacle to provide
external power to the motorhome and converter/charging system.
The generator compartment is located in a storage compartment on the side of
the motorhome. You can start/stop the generator from the generator switch on the
monitor panel. Refer to the Generator Owner's Manual for operating and maintenance
information.
Thor Motor Coach furnaces have electronic ignition, and there is no need to access this
panel except for service. As with all appliances, service is best left for your dealer. To remove
the panel to check for insect nests, you will need a Square or a Phillips head screwdriver.
For further information, reference the furnace manufacturer's manual provided with your
vehicle.
You can gain access to the water heater control panel to check for insect nests by turning
the tab at the top and allowing the door to hinge down. Due to the electronic ignition,
it is no longer necessary to access this compartment for lighting the pilot. It has an
electronic module board, electronic ignition lighter, and a safety pop-off valve to relieve
the pressure, should it be necessary.
The refrigerator is an electronic ignition appliance and there is no need to access this
panel except for service or checking for insect nests. If a problem is encountered, follow
the guidelines for use as outlined in the Refrigerator Owner's Manual located in the
Owner's Information Kit. If the problem is not resolved, contact an authorized Thor Motor
Coach dealer.
The fuse block is located in the battery control center compartment behind the driver
front tire. These fuses control the automotive ignition and dash systems. To check the
fuse, pull straight out and remove from the fuse block. The fuse can then be checked
either visually or with an electrical tester.
Your motorhome may have an exterior TV hook-up located in a storage compartment.
There is a coax cable located in this area to hook your satellite or TV antenna up to. There
is also an electrical outlet. You may use this as an exterior entertainment center.
Your motorhome came with a Fan-tastic® Power Vent. Select "AUTO" and the dome
lid will lift automatically. Then press and hold arrow buttons to select desired interior
temperature. This vent came installed with a rain sensor. If the vent is open and the rain
sensor detects moisture, the dome closes and turns off the fan blade. When the rain
sensor dries the vent will automatically reopen. For further information and instructions
please see the product owners manual.
