Some lower compartment doors may have a pocket latch. To open, simply insert your
fingers under the flap and pull up. The door will continue to open on the gas assisted
struts until fully open. Push the door to close the compartment, and the latch will close
automatically. The doors under the slide-out and doors that are mounted below gas
fired appliances with exhaust may have a prop rod so the exhaust does not damage
the door. Many models have pass-through compartments for storing longer items.
Always keep the doors locked when traveling to prevent accidental opening or theft.
Thor Motor Coach motor coaches have plywood reinforced roofs which are strong
enough to walk on.
Use the ladder to climb up on the roof for inspecting the roofing seal and components.
Take the ladder into consideration when backing up or parking your motorhome.
Where equipped, the exterior rear ladder provides access to the roof for maintenance
of the roof and roof mounted items only. When ascending and descending the ladder,
ensure the ladder is clear of debris, such as water, ice and other slippery substances.
Always wear shoes that provide good traction, and do not wear sandals or other types
of slip-on footwear when ascending or descending the ladder.
Note: The rear ladder maximum weight capacity is 250 lbs.
CAUTION
CAUTION
The Slide Out Topper will automatically open and close as the slide out room opens
and closes. Because the awning is level, water may puddle on top of the canopy. As
the slide out room is closed and the awning rolls up, these puddles may spill over
the sides of the awning.
Note: For detailed information regarding the Slide out Topper Awning refer
to the Slide Topper Installation And Operating Instructions Manual.

DO NOT CLIMB ON OR WALK ON THE ROOF WHILE
WET. THE ROOF COULD BE VERY SLIPPERY CAUSING
YOU TO FALL, WHICH CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY
OR DEATH.
Do not use the roof as an observation
platform or storage area, as it is not designed for these
purposes.
IF THREATENING WEATHER APPROACHES, YOU NEED
TO RETRACT ALL AWNINGS. If the awnings are rolled
up wet, open them back up as soon as possible to
allow them to dry. Do not drive during periods of high
winds. Doing so may cause damage to the awning. Any
damage to the awning caused by driving under such
conditions will not be covered under warranty.
IN THE EVENT OF POWER LOSS OR AWNING MOTOR
FAILURE THE AUTOMATIC PATIO AWNING CAN BE
RETRACTED AS EXPLAINED BELOW. If you do not
feel comfortable performing this procedure, contact the
nearest authorized service center for assistance. Do not
drive the motorhome with the awning in the extended
position.
