The monitor panel gives its readings of the water and waste tanks by
means of an electrical signal between the tank probes. If there is an extremely
low mineral content in the water, or if there is buildup or coating on the sensor probes on the interior of the
tank(s), the readings on the monitor panel may be incorrect.
Avoid pouring grease, oils, or similar substances down your drain or the
toilet. If this should occur, the holding tanks may need to be washed out with
soap and water. Inaccurate monitor panel readings could occur.
Your Thor Motor Coach may be equipped with two roof mount air conditioners, one in
the front and one in the rear. Both air conditioners can be operated on either generator
power or by an external power source. Your motorhome may be equipped with an electric
heat pump. Using this for heat will reduce your furnace propane consumption. Use the
Remote to select your appliance and set the temperature. There is a timer available
for setting the heat or A/C operating times. You may notice some delays while changing
from heat to A/C and back. This prevents damage to the compressor. When changing
the batteries in the remote, be sure to press the Reset button with a pen or pencil. See
your Air Conditioner Owner's Manual in the Thor Motor Coach Owner's Information Kit
for more details.
This vehicle is designed with a propane system to provide a safe and reliable fuel
source for your range, furnace, water heater, and refrigerator. As with any flammable and
volatile material, proper handling and precautions should be exercised at all times. The
following warnings must be reviewed and adhered to for safe and trouble free operation.
Propane containers should not be placed or stored inside the vehicle.
Propane containers are equipped with safety devices that relieve excessive
pressure by discharging gas into the atmosphere.
It is not safe to use cooking appliances for comfort heating. Cooking
appliances need fresh air for safe operation. Before operation:
• Open overhead vent or turn on exhaust fan, and
• Open window.
A warning label has been located in the cooking area to remind the user to provide an
adequate supply of fresh air for combustion. Use proper ventilation when using the
cooking appliances to avoid the dangers of asphyxiation.
Do not fill containers to more than 80 percent of capacity. Over filling
the propane container can result in uncontrolled gas flow, which can cause
fire or explosion. A properly filled container will contain approximately 80 percent of its volume as liquid
propane.
Portable fuel burning equipment, including wood, charcoal grills, and
propane stoves, should not be used inside the motorhome. The use of this
equipment inside the vehicle may cause fires and/or asphyxiation.
Do not bring or store propane containers, gasoline, or other flammable
liquids inside the vehicle because fire or explosion may result.
