We just picked up our Thor Motor Coach 22B in February of 2022. She did a great job going over everything but I had forgotten to take my note pad and pen because I like to write things down. I have owned a fifth wheel in the past but we hardly pulled it, so this is a lot different. My best take away from this awesome tutorial was that we can run the generator going down the road. I do not remember hearing that in any presentation. Thanks for all the great advice!

Wow! We were given a pretty thorough presentation of our 2018 Thor 25F Class C motor coach B4 we drove our vehicle home. But this presentation and others on your Website take that introduction/information to yet a whole different level that was even more, if not all inclusive, information about our particular model. TY for doing this video presentation that takes us beyond the info contained in the owner's manual and reinforces the brief presentation given to us by our dealership that again, was pretty darn great, and got us off to the right foot.

Great video! I found it because I was looking for some suggestions/help with a storage bay issue. If anyone has dealt with this same issue, suggestions for a video that covers this issue, etc etc I'd love to hear some feedback. I have a 2015 Thor Fourwinds 24' Class C. I noticed last year that the floor of the main outside storage space is sinking. It is a plastic shell and because I have put heavy items on it, the shell is starting to separate at the edge, nearest to the body of the RV. I will be emptying out the storage bay this weekend and getting under that area to look at how to temporarily support the storage floor and possible future remodel solutions. Thanks for any assistance, wish I could post a photo to be more clear. But, if you seen it before, you know what I'm talking about! Jen

@Nadia Nenita That's a good question. I called the Thor warranty number, 574-584-3388, asking exactly that 10 mins ago, lol! Then he directed me to this video. The guy said we keep the LP gas and 12v electricity on at all times keep the fridge cold. Our fridge will automatically switch to the ideal power option on it's own when using shore power, the generator, or LP gas. Just make sure the Auto button is on. If the Check light is blinking, call them so they can help you diagnose it. When we want the ceiling a/c on, we can use either shore power or the generator. If we're driving and we want to use the a/c, have the generator on. It's perfectly fine on while u drive. The generator will automatically turn off when u reach about half or a quarter tank of gas in your rv. We just got our rv and everything is still new, confusing, we're learning as we go but I hope this helps you. 😊

Hi. The battery disconnect switch is for the 12volt systems in your RV. You'll want this in the on position anytime you are using it. The headlights and radio are connected to the chassis battery and the shutoff delay is part of the Ford chassis and will shut off after a predetermined amount of time. Thanks - Steve
