Introduction

CAUTION

How to Use This Manual

Your motorhome has been thoroughly inspected before shipment to the dealer. Your selling dealer is responsible for performing a complete pre-delivery inspection of all motorhome components as

specied in the pre-delivery checklists supplied by the manufacturer. You should receive a copy of

these completed checklists from your dealer when the motorhome is delivered to you.

Should a problem arise, your rst step is to contact your selling Thor Motor Coach dealer who will be

glad to handle your situation. This Owner’s Manual is not intended for use as a service manual, but rather as a guide to help you become familiar with your motorhome.

This manual is not model specic, which means that it is used for a variety of different models that Thor

Motor Coach manufactures. It is of a general nature, so the illustrations and descriptions may not be exactly as they are in your particular motorhome.

If you are unclear or unfamiliar with any procedure that is described in this manual, see your Thor Motor

Coach dealer for further clarication before proceeding.

Thor Motor Coach uses the following notations to warn the user of possible safety concerns and to provide information that will prevent personal injury to the user and/or damage to the motorhome.

A WARNING INDICATES A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION THAT, IF NOT AVOIDED, MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

A CAUTION INDICATES A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION THAT, IF NOT AVOIDED, MAY RESULT IN MINOR OR MODERATE INJURY.

NOTE: A NOTE INDICATES AN INSTRUCTION OR PROCEDURE THAT IS IMPORTANT FOR PROPER SERVICE. A NOTICE CAN ALSO SUPPLY INFORMATION THAT WILL HELP TO MAKE YOUR CAMPING EXPERIENCE MORE PLEASANT.

A DANGER INDICATES AN IMMINENTLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION THAT, IF NOT AVOIDED, WILL RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect, which could cause an accident, injury , or death, you should

immediately inform the National Highway Trafc Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying

Thor Motor Coach.

If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it nds that a safety defect

exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you and your dealer or Thor Motor Coach.

To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll free at 888-327-4236, TTY: 800424-9153, or write to: Administrator, NHTSA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue S.E., Washington DC, USA

20590. You can go to the NHTSA website, www.safercar.gov. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the Hotline.

Introduction

CAUTION

This manual describes many features of your motorhome and provides a guide to operating procedures so that you can obtain the best performance from those features. Your motorhome has been designed to conform with, or exceed, the

American National Standards Institute A 119.2, NFPA 1192, CANADIAN CAN/CSA-Z240 RV SERIES-99 (Canadian-built or units built for Canada), and applicable motor vehicle safety standards. These standards establish the plumbing, heating,

electrical and other requirements for quality and safety. The seal attached just outside the entry door indicates compliance with these standards. This seal is the outward sign of internal quality.

Like all automotive equipment, your motorhome will require care and regular maintenance in order to retain its maximum

performance characteristics. This manual, along with the specic instructions provided by the leading appliance manufacturers,

are in your Owner’s Information Kit. The Chassis Operator’s Manual outlines important areas of service and provides a maintenance schedule. Please follow them carefully to ensure a safe trouble-free service. Study these instructions carefully . A good working knowledge of your unit and how to care for it will help you enjoy many miles and years of recreational living.

If you have any questions regarding operation, maintenance, or service, please contact your dealer immediately so they can assist you. Your dealer’s Service or Sales Department is equipped to handle most any problem that may occur. Customer service is of the utmost importance to your dealer and is just as important to the manufacturer. This manual contains a section outlining the warranty and explaining your rights and obligations, as well as the rights and obligations of the dealer and manufacturer, under the terms of the warranty. Please read this section carefully . You will be better informed in case you have a warranty related problem and your dealer will be better able to get you back on the road again in a timely manner.

We sincerely believe that your dealer and the factory representative will be able to solve any problem which may arise. If their combined efforts are not satisfactory, please send a letter describing the circumstances to:

Thor Motor Coach PO Box 1486 Elkhart IN 46515-1486

Thor Motor Coach Customer Service is the support arm for Thor Motor Coach, and was developed to streamline technical assistance, warranty claims, authorization requests, and parts for our dealer network and owners. This will greatly improve our business relationship with you, and our dealer network, and in the event of a problem, will get you back on the road again in a timely manner.

You must include the dealer’s name as well as the model and serial number of your motorhome. The Thor Motor Coach serial number is located on the bottom of the federal sticker, which is located in the driver’s compartment area. Thank you

for choosing our product. Your dealer and we, the manufacturer, will continually strive to merit your condence.

Some equipment and features described or shown in this manual may be optional on your model. This instructional manual is of a general nature only. Because of the continuous process of product

improvement conducted by Thor Motor Coach, it is possible that recent product changes may not be included in this manual.

Specications may change without notice. This manual is accurate as of the date of publication. The instructions included

in this manual are intended as a guide, and in no respect extend the responsibilities of the manufacturing subsidiary , parent

company or afliates beyond the standard written warranty as presented in this manual.

Note: Photographs or illustrations in this manual are representative of function and may or may not be

specic in their depiction of actual equipment, fabrics, interior or exterior decor, or design options

as installed on or in your motorhome.

This product is designed to provide temporary living quarters for recreational, camping, or travel. Use of this product for long term or permanent occupancy may lead to premature deterioration of

interior nishes, fabrics, carpeting, drapes, or components. Damage or deterioration due to long term occupancy may not

be considered normal, and may under the terms of the warranty, constitute misuse, abuse, or neglect, and may therefore reduce or void certain warranty protection.

THOR MOTOR COACH’S LIMITED WARRANTY

WHAT THE PERIOD OF COVERAGE IS:

This Limited Warranty provided by Thor Motor Coach, Inc.

(“Warrantor”) covers those components, assemblies and systems of

your new motorhome not excluded under the section “What is Not Covered”, when sold by an authorized dealer. The duration of

the limited warranty ends twelve (12) months after you first take delivery of the motorhome from an authorized dealership or after

the odometer reaches 15,000 miles, whichever occurs first. However, this Limited Warranty provided by Warrantor covers the steel

or aluminum frame structure, only, of the sidewalls (excluding slide outs), roof, and rear and front walls for twenty-four (24) months

from the original retail purchase date or the first 24,000 miles of use, whichever occurs first.

If the motorhome is not of the current or prior model year when you take deliver of the motorhome OR you register your new

motorhome in a business name or use your motorhome for any commercial or business purposes other than for rental purposes, the

duration of the limited warranty ends ninety (90) days after you first take delivery of the motorhome or after the odometer reaches

5,000 miles, whichever occurs first. The duration of the Limited Warranty covering the steel or aluminum frame structure, only, of

the sidewalls (excluding slide outs), roof, and rear and front walls ends twelve (12) months after you first take delivery of the

motorhome or after the odometer reaches 15,000 miles, whichever occurs first. A conclusive presumption that your motorhome has

been used for commercial and/or business purposes arises if you have filed a federal or state tax form claiming any business tax

benefit related to your ownership of the motorhome.

LIMITATION AND DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES:

IMPLIED WARRANTIES, IF ANY, ARISING BY WAY OF STATE LAW, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY

AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE TERM OF

THIS LIMITED WARRANTY AND ARE LIMITED IN SCOPE OF COVERAGE TO THOSE PORTIONS OF THE MOTORHOME

COVERED BY THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. WARRANTOR DISCLAI MS ALL IMPLIED AND EXPRE SS WARRANTIES, INCLUDIN G

THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,

ON COMPONENTS AND APPLIANCES EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE AS SET FORTH BELOW. There is no warranty of any

nature made by Warrantor beyond that contained in this Limited Warranty. No person has authority to enlarge, amend or modify

this Limited Warranty. The dealer is not the Warrantor’s agent but is an independent entity. Warrantor is not responsible for any

undertaking, representation or warranty made by any dealer or other person beyond those expressly set forth in this Limited

Warranty. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

WHAT THE WARRANTY COVERS:

Warrantor’s Limited Warranty covers only defects in the workmanship performed and/or materials used to assemble those portions

of your motorhome covered by the limited warranty. See also the section “What the Warranty Does Not Cover” set out below.

“Defect” means the failure of the workmanship performed and/or materials used to conform to Warrantor’s design and manufacturing

specification and tolerances.

WHAT WE WILL DO TO CORRECT PROBLEMS:

Warrantor’s sole and exclusive obligation is to repair and/or replace, at its option, any covered defect if: (1) you notify Warrantor or

one of its authorized servicing dealers of the defect, which is discovered within the warranty coverage period, within ten (10) days of

discovering the defect; and (2) you deliver your Motorhome to Warrantor or Warrantor’s authorized servicing dealer at your cost and

expense. It is reasonable to expect some service items to occur during the warranty period. The performance of warranty repairs

shall not extend the original warranty coverage period. Further, any performance of repairs after the warranty coverage period has

expired or any performance of repairs to component parts and appliances that are excluded from coverage shall be considered

“good will” repairs, which shall not alter the express terms of this limited warranty. If the repair or replacement remedy fails to

successfully cure a defect after Warrantor received a reasonable opportunity to cure the defect(s), your sole and exclusive remedy

shall be limited to Warrantor paying you the cost of having an independent third party perform repairs to the defect(s). Warrantor

may use new and/or remanufactured parts and/or components of substantially equal quality to complete any repair. Defects and/or

damage to interior and exterior surfaces, trim, upholstery and other appearance items may occur at the factory during manufacture,

during delivery of the motorhome to the selling dealer or on the selling dealer’s lot. Normally, any such defect or damage is

detected and corrected at the factory or by the selling dealer during the inspection process performed by the Warrantor and the

selling dealer. If, however, you discover any such defect or damage when you take delivery of the motorhome, you must notify your

dealer or Warrantor within ten days of the date of purchase to have repairs performed to the defect at no cost to you as provided by

this Limited Warranty. If two unsuccessful repair attempts have been made to correct any covered defect that you believe

substantially impairs the value, use or safety of your motorhome, or repairs to any covered defect(s), which you believe substantially

impairs the value, use or safety of your motorhome, have taken 20 or more days to complete, you must, to the extent permitted by

law, notify Warrantor directly in writing of the failure to successfully repair the defect(s) so that Warrantor can become directly

involved in exercising a final repair attempt for the purpose of performing a successful repair to the identified defect(s).

Minor adjustments, such as adjustments to the interior or exterior doors, drawers, latches by way of example and not by limitation

will be performed by your selling dealer during the first ninety (90) days of warranty coverage. Thereafter, such adjustments are the

owner’s exclusive responsibility as normal maintenance.

HOW TO GET SERVICE:

The “Acknowledgement of Receipt of Warranty/Product Information” form must be returned to Warrantor promptly upon purchase to

assure proper part replacement and repair of your motorhome. Failure to return the “Acknowledgement of Receipt of

Warranty/Product Information” form will not affect your rights under the Limited Warranty so long as you can furnish proof of

purchase. For warranty service simply contact one of Warrantor’s authorized service centers for an appointment, then deliver your

motorhome (at your expense) to the service center.

If you need assistance in locating an authorized warranty service facility, contact Warrantor’s Warranty Department (877-TLK - 2 –

TMS or 877-855-2867). The mailing address is:

P.O. Box 1486

Elkhart, Indiana 46515-1486

WHAT THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER:

This Limited Warranty does not cover: any motorhome used for rental purposes and any motor home sold or registered outside of

the United States or Canada; items which are added or changed after the motorhome leaves Warrantor’s possession; items that are

working as designed but with which you are unhappy with because of the design; normal wear and usage, such as fading or

discoloration of fabrics, or the effects of moisture inside the motorhome; defacing, scratching, dents and chips on any surface or

fabric of the motorhome, not caused by Warrantor; owner maintenance, including by way of example replacement of wiper blades,

bulbs, filters, wheel alignments and resealing exterior sealant areas (see Care and Maintenance Section of Owner’s Manual); the

automotive chassis and power train, including, by way of example the engine, drive-train, steering, ride and handling, braking, wheel

balance, muffler, tire wear or failure, tubes, batteries and gauges; appliances and components covered by their own manufacturer’s

warranty including, by way of example the microwave, refrigerator, ice maker, stove, oven, generator, roof air conditioners, hydraulic

jacks, VCR, television(s), water heater, furnace, stereo, radio, compact disc player, washer, dryer, inverter and cellular phone; or flaking,

peeling and chips or other defects or damage in or to the exterior or finish caused by rocks or other road haz ards, the environment

including chemical off-gassing, airborne pollutants, salt, tree sap and hail causing any damage including but not limited to corrosion.

Component part and appliance manufacturers issue limited warranties covering those portions of the motorhome not covered by the

Limited Warranty issued by Warrantor. To learn more on what specific component parts and appliances are excluded from the

Limited Warranty issued by Warrantor please contact your selling dealership or Warrantor directly or review the warranty packet

inside the Motorhome.

EVENTS DISCHARGING WARRANTOR FROM OBLIGATION UNDER WARRANTY:

Misuse or neglect, accidents, unauthorized alteration, failure to provide reasonable and necessary maintenance (see Owner’s

Manual), damage caused by off road use, collision, fire, theft, vandalism, explosions, overloading in excess of rated capacities, and

odometer tampering shall discharge Warrantor from any express or implied warranty obligation to repair any resulting defect.

DISCLAIMER OF CONSEQUENTIAL AND INCIDENTAL DAMAGES:

THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER OF THE MOTORHOME AND ANY PERSON TO WHOM THE MOTORHOME IS TR ANSFERRED,

AND ANY PERSON WHO IS AN INTENDED OR UNINTENDED USER O R BEN EFICI ARY OF THE MOTO RH OME, SH ALL NOT BE

ENTITLED TO RECOVER FROM WARRA NTOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY

DEFECT IN THE MOTORHOME, INCLUDING BY WAY OF EXAMPLE FUEL AND T RANSPORTATIO N EXPENSES TO DELI VER

THE PRODUCT TO THE SERVICING DEALER, HOTEL ROOMS, LOST WAGES AND MOISTURE DAMAGE SUCH AS MOLD

AND MILDEW. THE EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL AND INCIDENTAL DAMAGES SHALL BE DEEMED INDEPENDENT OF,

AND SHALL SURVIVE, ANY FAILURE OF THE ESSENTI AL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REM EDY. Some states do not a llow the

exclusion or limitation of consequential or incidental damages, so the above exclusions may not apply to you.

LEGAL REMEDIES:

THIS LIMITED WARRANTY DOES NOT “EXTEND TO FUTURE PERFORMANCE”. ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE THIS LIMITED

WARRANTY OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES SHALL NOT BE COMMENCED MORE THAN

DAYS AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF

THE WARRANTY COVERAGE PERIOD DESIGNATED ABOVE. IF YOUR MOTORHOME IS NOT OF THE CURRENT OR PRIOR

MODEL YEAR WHEN YOU TAKE DELIVERY OF THE MOTORHOME OR YOU USE YOUR MOTORHOME FOR COMMERCIAL OR

BUSINESS PURPOSES OTHER THAN FOR RENTAL PURPOSES, ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE THIS LIMITED WARRANT Y OR ANY

IMPLIED WARRANTIES SHALL NOT BE COMMENCED MORE THAN ONE YEAR AFTER THE EXPIR ATION OF THE WARRANT Y

COVERAGE PERIOD DESIGNATED ABOVE. THE PERFORMANCE OF REPAIRS SHALL NOT SUSPEND THIS LIMITATIONS

PERIOD FROM EXPIRING. Some states do not allow the reduction in the statute of limitations, so the above reduction in the statute

of limitations may not apply to you.

Warrantor participates in the Consumer Arbitration Program for Recreational Vehicles (CAP-RV) operated by DeMars & Associates.

The CAP-RV program operates as a certified mechanism under the review of the California Arbitration Certification Program. You

must utilize the arbitration program before claiming rights conferred by 15 USC section 2310 (Uniform Commercial Code) or Civil

Code section 1793.22(b) (Tanner Act). You are not required to use the program if you choose to seek redress by pursuing rights

and remedies not created by those laws. To find out more about the program or to request an application/brochure please call the

Arbitration Administrator Office toll free (800) 279-5343. Members of the Armed Forces who purchased the vehicle in California, or

who were stationed in or a resident of California at the time of purchase (regardless of state of purchase) or who are stationed in

California at the time of application to this program, may utilize the CAP-RV program.

If, however, you discover any such defect or damage when you take delivery of the motorhome, you must notify your dealer or Warrantor within ten days of the date of purchase to have repairs performed to the defect at no cost to you as provided by this Limited Warranty. If two unsuccessful repair attempts have been made to correct any covered defect that you believe substantially impairs the value, use or safety of your motorhome, or repairs to any covered defect(s), which you believe substantially impairs the value, use or safety of your motorhome, have taken 20 or more days to complete, you must, to the extent permitted by law, notify Warrantor directly in writing of the failure to successfully repair the defect(s) so that Warrantor can become directly involved in exercising a nal repair attempt for the purpose of performing a successful repair to the identied defect(s).

Minor adjustments, such as adjustments to the interior or exterior doors, drawers, latches by way of example and not by limitation will be performed by your selling dealer during the rst ninety (90) days of warranty coverage. Thereafter,

such adjustments are the owner’s exclusive responsibility as normal maintenance.

HOW TO GET SERVICE:

The “Acknowledgement of Receipt of Warranty/Product Information” form must be returned to Warrantor promptly upon purchase to assure proper part replacement and repair of your motorhome. Failure to return the “Acknowledgement of Receipt of Warranty/Product Information” form will not aect your rights under the Limited Warranty so long as you can furnish proof of purchase. For warranty service simply contact one of Warrantor’s authorized service centers for an appointment, then deliver your motorhome (at your expense) to the service center.

CAUTION

Thor Motor Coach reserves the right to make changes in Vehicles built and/or sold by it at any time without incurring any obligations to make the same or similar changes on Vehicles previously built and/or sold by Thor Motor Coach.

As the proud owner of a Thor Motor Coach, you want to trust that your unit will continue to perform at its peak. To ensure this Thor Motor Coach has provided you this checklist of the responsibilities of the Thor Motor Coach owner . Please make sure that this list is carefully observed and adhered to in order to maintain your Limited Warranty.

Please refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine when your inspections should take place.

Check both house batteries and chassis battery and tighten connections if necessary . Clean the terminals if necessary . Check to make sure that the batteries have the proper

water levels in them, and ll if necessary. Check the charge and recharge if necessary.

Keep connections clean and covered with a light coat of grease.

There is a certain danger involved when working with

batteries. If you are unfamiliar with these dangers, contact

a Thor Motor Coach dealer.

Just as in your home, it is the owner’s responsibility to periodically check the batteries in the smoke detector, propane detector and carbon monoxide detector when applicable. We recommend that you change the batteries every six months to ensure proper working order. The owner is responsible for checking to ensure that the vehicle has as little condensation in it as possible. The condensation in a motorhome is much greater than in most houses because the insulated walls of the vehicle are much thinner than house walls, and the small size and tight construction of the vehicle allow a quick buildup of high moisture levels in the inside air.

Condensation

This can be reduced by always keeping the bathroom door closed and the window or

vents open when bathing, and for a period of time when you have nished bathing or

cooking, to allow for dissipation of all the moisture. Use your vent hood and fan when cooking. Don’t hang wet clothes in your unit to dry . When left for prolonged periods of time, condensation can cause considerable damage to your vehicle.

Most exterior parts of your motorhome are made of berglass, which is a very durable

material, but not indestructible. Exposure to the elements can cause premature deterioration without routine maintenance, especially in hotter climates. The effects may be; fading, yellowing, or chalking, however these are surface cosmetic changes, which do not affect the strength of your unit. Simple maintenance through cleaning by washing and waxing will ensure lasting beauty.

The same fading may occur to carpeting and upholstering. Be sure to keep your shades down in extremely sunny locations and maintain proper cleaning techniques for both carpet and upholstery.

The front suspension and steering system of this vehicle was factory aligned using highly accurate equipment prior to delivery to the dealership. We recommend that the alignment is checked after you have fully loaded the motorhome according to your personal needs. If necessary, adjust alignment for the loaded motorhome. Thereafter, the alignment should be inspected yearly to help prevent uneven tire wear.

Sanitize the fresh water system at least once per year or whenever the motorhome is unused for prolonged periods of time. This will help keep your water system fresh and discourage the growth of bacteria that can contaminate the water supply. Make sure that the tanks are properly treated with the right chemicals for disinfection.

Y our motorhome is built to withstand a certain maximum load. Check the amount listed

on the Federal Certication Label in the driver’s area of your motorhome to determine

safe load limits. NEVER OVERLOAD THE MOTORHOME. Reference pages 21, 23 and 24 for proper loading and weight distribution.

Weatherproong sealants are used around the doors, windows, vents, and joints

during construction of your motorhome. These sealants are subject to deterioration from exposure, and must be checked periodically to assure the weatherproof integrity of your unit. If evidence of cracking or voids in the sealants is apparent, have your dealer reseal these areas. Proper sealant coverage should be checked and resealed at least once every six months. Please see Chapter 10 - “Care and Maintenance” for instructions on properly sealing the roof area. Failure or neglect of proper sealant maintenance could result in leakage, and may reduce or void your warranty protection.

It is important that the owner realize that Thor Motor Coach’s Limited Warranty covers warrantable repairs that are performed by an authorized Thor Motor Coach dealer at their service center or facility only. If you are unable to bring your unit in for repairs, Thor Motor Coach is not responsible for the cost of the actual service call charged to come out to your unit.

If your slide-out system becomes squeaky or makes any noises while operating, it is permissible to apply a coat of lightweight oil to the drive shaft and roller areas located

below the main oor. Remove any excess oil so dirt and debris cannot build up.

To maintain the integrity of the retractable step in your motorhome, you must periodically inspect it for rust or damage, also see that it is lubricated to function safely and to ensure proper working order.

Tire Pressure

Travel Bars

Windshields

Winterization

The owner is responsible for maintaining proper tire pressure in the vehicle’s tires.

Check the tire specications on the Federal Certication Label located in the driver’s

area for the proper pressure. You will ensure optimum driving standards by keeping your vehicle maintained.

Never forget to remove your travel bars from your slide-out prior to opening. Failure to do so could result in severe damage to yourself and/or your motorhome, which will not be covered under the Limited Warranty.

Like most cars, your motorhome’s windshield is not covered under the Limited Warranty . Items such as cracks, stone chips and holes are regarded as normal wear and tear, and will not be considered as a manufacturing defect.

Please make sure that your vehicle is properly winterized before long periods of storage.

To nd a complete listing of the winterization procedures, refer to this manual’s section

called “Winterization Procedures”. Failure to properly winterize your vehicle may result in damage to your motorhome which would not be covered under the Limited Warranty .

SUPPLIERS PROVIDING SEPARATE WARRANTIES

The following list of components has been compiled to help you know which products on your motorhome may have their own warranties. If you have any of these components on your motorhome, be sure to check the literature supplied by the manufacturer to see if they require that you register your purchase with them to validate their warranty. We recommend that you send the various warranty registration cards immediately before any time constraints on registration expire. Manufacturer’s literature is contained in a separate packet furnished with the owner’s manual on newly delivered units. Only those products and options which are on your motorhome will be included in this packet. You should go over this literature with your dealer during the pre-delivery inspection. Any

shortages of literature should be reported to the dealer at that time

Planning and Preparation

CAUTION

A thorough working knowledge of your motorhome is important if you are going to get the most out of the convenience and safety items built into your unit. Be as familiar with it as you are with your personal car or truck. Study all the booklets included in your Owner’s Information Kit. These booklets cover details of operation for the major appliances and equipment built into your motorhome for your comfort, convenience and safety . Your selling dealer should provide you with a complete walk through of your vehicle at the time of purchase. Any questions and concerns should be addressed at that time.

The vehicle licensing laws vary from state-to-state. Check with your state license bureau

or nearest branch ofce for the requirements of your state. Be sure to renew your

license if it has expired or will expire during your trip. Your motorhome is considerably larger and heavier than your car, therefore certain precautions should be exercised. A CDL license may not be required to operate your motorhome, but Thor Motor Coach recommends you attend a CDL class to better understand the motorhomes driving and handling characteristics. Thor Motor Coach wants your driving experience to be pleasant and enjoyable.

Talk to your insurance agent about the appropriate coverage for your motorhome. Always carry your policy card.

Follow a consistent schedule of inspection and maintenance for your motorhome. Your continuing safety and comfort depend on it. This manual includes recommended maintenance intervals and instructions. Adherence to these schedules will minimize the possibility of failure of any important system or part of your motorhome. The time spent inspecting and maintaining your motorhome will provide you with many years of recreational pleasure. Improper inspections or maintenance neglect may invalidate your Limited Warranty.

Proper loading is one of the most important considerations when traveling in a motorhome. Your motorhome is built to withstand a certain maximum load. Check the

Federal Certication Label located in the driver’s area to determine the safe load limits.

For safety’s sake, NEVER OVERLOAD THE MOTORHOME. This chapter contains information about proper loading and weighing of your motorhome.

Know how to control your motorhome on the highway. Be familiar with passing and stopping requirements, and problems that can develop. Know how to brake properly, how to back up and how to turn. Practice in a secluded place until you become familiar with the handling characteristics and techniques of your motorhome. Don’t overlook the laws of your state that govern driving a motorhome. Your state Motor Vehicle

Department ofce can provide you with the applicable vehicle codes that spell out your

rights and responsibilities as a motorhome owner. Whenever you depart, be it from your home, rest area, or campsite. Y ou should perform

these pre-travel checks: Should be inspected before each trip for uneven wear, road damage, foreign objects,

peeling or bulging, and correct tire pressure. Heat generated by surface friction will increase the tire’s air pressure, therefore do not bleed air out of a hot tire. Check

tire pressure after the vehicle has been parked for at least one hour. Inate tires to recommended pressure as indicated on the Federal Certication Label located above

the Drivers area.

Proper tire ination is extremely important.

Should be closed and secured or adjusted as desired.

If the motorhome was properly and carefully prepared for storage, taking it out of

storage will not be difcult. The following checklist assumes that you stored your RV

with care. If you didn’t, and extensive freeze damage or other serious deterioration has occurred, consult your dealer or an authorized service center for advice.

Be sure all loose items are secured or properly stored

while the vehicle is in motion. Possible overlooked

items may include canned goods, small appliances (on countertop), cooking pans (on range), or free standing furniture. These items could become dangerous

projectiles during a sudden stop.

• Thoroughly inspect the outside of your RV. Look for animal’s nests in wheel wells, in engine, air cleaner, or in other out of the way places. Clean all appliance exhaust vents, ceiling vents and air conditioning covers.

Planning and Preparation

• Changing the wiper blades on your motorhome is similar to your car. Remove the screw, take off the old blade, and replace with a similar style and length blade. Lubricating pivot points with thin lubricating oil is also recommended.

• Check that all furnace, water heater and refrigerator openings are free of debris, insect nests, webs, etc.

• Open all doors and compartments. Check for animal or insect intrusion, water damage, or other deterioration.

• Check charge level in batteries. Rell with distilled water and recharge if necessary.

Reinstall batteries if necessary. Be sure cable ends and terminals are clean and free of corrosion. Turn the Battery Disconnect Switch off if applicable.

• Check tire pressure. Inate to the specied cold pressure.

• Remove coverings from windows if necessary.

• Open vents and windows for ventilation.

• Drain, ush and sanitize the fresh water system. Inspect drain lines for leaks.

Replace if necessary. Do not try to repair, as this is usually ineffective.

• Install a new water lter (if your unit is equipped with this).

• Operate all faucets and xtures in the fresh water system. Check for leaks at all joints and ttings. Repair if necessary.

• Check 12 Volt circuit breakers and inspect all fuses.

• Operate all 12 Volt lights and accessories.

• Install new batteries in battery operated devices.

• Test propane, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Replace the batteries if

necessary.

• Check the monitor panel operation.

• Open and operate all vents and vent fans. Remove any outside coverings if

applicable.

• Inspect 120 Volt electrical system which includes power cord, converter, all outlets and exposed wiring. If defects are found, consult your servicing dealer or an authorized service center.

• Operate 120 Volt appliances and air conditioner (s). Be sure to uncover air conditioner shroud(s).

• Inspect the propane system and check for leaks. If propane tank shows signs

of rust or corrosion, have it inspected by a qualied propane technician. Rell if

necessary.

• Operate each propane appliance. Observe all burner/pilot ames for proper color

and size.

• If necessary, have propane regulator adjusted for proper pressure by a qualied

technician.

Planning and Preparation

• Check sealants around all roof and body seams and windows. Reseal if necessary.

• Lubricate all exterior locks, hinges, and latches.

• Wash and wax exterior. Inspect body for scratches or other damage. Touch up or

repair as necessary. Flush underside of the motorhome thoroughly.

• Check all the chassis uid levels including engine oil, coolant, power steering uid, brake uid, transmission, rear axle oil and washer uid. Top off if necessary.

• Check all exterior lights; clearance, brake, turn, and reverse should be fully

functional.

Your motorhome should be ready for a new traveling season. Your dealer can check your preparation and correct any defects or make any necessary adjustments.

These items are the absolute minimum requirements necessary for pre-travel.

WEIGHTS

Your motorhome is designed to carry the loads dened by the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR - the value specied by the chassis manufacturer as the load carrying capacity of a single axle system, as measured at the tire/ground interface.) The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR - the maximum permissible loaded weight of the motorhome) is shown on the vehicle information sticker posted near the driver’s side

front window or inside the driver’s side door jam. These ratings are for a fully loaded vehicle including passengers and normal belongings

EXCEEDING THE GAWR OR GVWR OF YOUR Motorhome CAN CAUSE UNDESIRABLE HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS and may even create a safety hazard. Modification of your vehicle to carry additional

equipment or vehicles is not recommended and may void your warranty.

Note:

Be sure the weight of passengers, equipment and supplies does not cause your motorhome to exceed axle loads and overall vehicle loads for which it was designed. If in doubt, weigh the vehicle at a public scale. Keep in mind the number of safety belts in a unit are there for the convenience and use of the owner. Carrying the number of people equal to the number of seat belts may exceed the weight ratings. A motorhome has the potential to be overloaded and removal or redistribution of weight may be necessary from time to time to stay within weight ratings. Your motorhome includes a "Weight Information Label." This label provides specific weight information for your motorhome as a guideline so that you can determine the load carrying

capabilities.

Federal Weight Label

Capacity

The Thor Motor Coach Motorhome

concisely states the occupant and cargo carrying capacity of your motorhome ( per the requirements of 49 CFR part 571.120 as issued by the National Highway Trafc Safety Administration - NHTSA).

The yellow Motorhome OCCUPANT AND CARGO CARRYING CAPACITY weight

label is afxed to the interior side of the forward-most door of your motorhome on the

passenger side This label indicated how much weight you can safely carry within the

vehicle and is afxed to the entrance door, directly below the window screen for Class

A units and on the front door jamb for Class C units.

AND THE TONGUE WEIGHT OF A TOWED TRAILER COUNTS AS CARGO

The total weight of passengers, cargo, trailer tongue weight, and water should never exceed the value shown on the label.

A typical example of this label is shown below for reference purposes only. The numbers shown on this page may not be applicable to your vehicle. Please reference

the Yellow label afxed directly to the door of your motorhome for your actual Occupant

and Cargo Carrying Capacity:

Note: DO NOT OVERLOAD THE Motorhome

When loading your cargo, be sure it is distributed evenly to prevent overloading front to back and side to side. Heavy items should be placed low and as close to the axle positions as reasonable. Too many items on one side may overload a tire.

Periodically weigh the motorhome at a public scale to determine axle loads. The following procedure is suggested, although any method recommended by the scale operator which correctly determines weight value is acceptable. During all measurements, it is important to keep the vehicle as level as possible.

To weigh your motorhome correctly, measure the fully loaded vehicle axle by axle and wheel position by wheel position. You can find several certified public or commercial scales at moving and storage lots, farm suppliers with grain elevators, gravel pits, recycling companies and large commercial truck stops. You can also look in the telephone book under “weighers” or “weighing”. Allow adequate time, since the entire weighing process can take up to 30 minutes. There may be a small fee for each weight taken, but the expense is a worth while investment toward the safe and economical operation of your motorhome.

Your motorhome must be weighed fully loaded. That is with passengers, food, cloth-

ing, fuel, water, propane, supplies etc. Any towed vehicle (car/pickup, boat, or trailer ) or item loaded on brackets on the back of the motorhome should also be

included in the weighing.

1. The following steps are suggested when using a long platform scale: a. Pull onto the scale so that only the front axle is on the platform with the end of the scale midway between the front and rear axles and record the scaled weight.

b. Pull forward until the full unit is on the scale and record the weight. c. Pull forward so that only the rear axle is on the scale and record the weight.

To obtain the individual wheel position weights, repeat this process with only one side of the motorhome on the scale. To determine individual wheel position weights, it is

necessary to repeat the previous three steps (1a, 1b, and 1c), but this time, use only

one side of the scale. To calculate the opposite side of the vehicle wheel position weight, subtract this side’s weights from the weights recorded in steps 1a, 1b, and 1c.

Your motorhome must remain as level as possible on the scale, even though

an axle or side is not physically on the scale. To obtain the side-to-side weights, there must be enough space on either side of the scale to allow the motorhome to be

partially off the scale. Individual wheel position weights must not exceed the maximum tire load capacity.

on the sidewall of the tire.

Even though the weight of the total axle may be within the axle's rating, it may be overloaded on one side. This causes one wheel position to be overloaded. Therefore, side-to-side weighing should be done.

Maximum tire load capacity can only be achieved by

utilizing the maximum allowable pressure (psi) as listed

Weight Distribution

Note: The above information is provided by the Tire Industry Safety Council

Rubber Manufacturer’s Association. Used with permission. ( http:// www.rma.org/tire_safety/ )

For improved accuracy, Thor Motor Coach recommends using a segmented 4-pad scale, when possible, to determine individual wheel weights. The corner weights

should not exceed half of the respective Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) or the

maximum load rating for the tire or set of dual tires at the rear, whichever is less. The maximum load rating for the tire can be found embossed on the tire’s sidewall. If any of the corner weights exceed half of the listed GAWR or tire ratings, relocate the passengers and redistribute or remove a portion of the cargo until the weight is within the proper limits for all four corners of the vehicle.

Note: Additional cargo carrying capacity can be obtained by reducing the

amount of fresh water carried while driving. Check vehicle weight periodically to obtain optimum mileage from tires and

improve handling. Tires should always be inflated as recommended in the chassis manufacturer’s instructions or on the tire sidewall. See your chassis operator’s manual.

Improper weight distribution or too much weight on your motorhome’s suspension system can cause spring, shock absorber, or brake failure, handling or steering problems, irregular tire wear, tire failure or other damage.

An overloaded motorhome is hard to drive and hard to stop. In cases of serious overloading, brakes can fail completely, particularly on steep hills. The load a tire will carry safely is a combination of the size of tire, its load range, and corresponding inflation pressure.

Planning and Preparation

The following is an explanation of commonly used weight abbreviations:

• Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is the maximum permissible

weight of this motorhome.

• Unloaded Vehicle Weight (UVW) is the weight of this motorhome as

manufactured at the factory with full fuel, engine oil, and coolants.

• Occupant and Cargo Carrying Capacity (OCCC) is equal to the GVWR

minus UVW and LP. In other words, OCCC is how much weight in occupants, cargo, water and trailer tongue weight that can be added to the motorhome without exceeding the GVWR.

• Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) means the maximum

allowable loaded weight of this recreation vehicle with its towed trailer or towed vehicle.

• Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) is the value specied as the load

carrying capacity of a single axle system, as measured at the tire- ground interfaces.

• If a boat, trailer or other vehicle is being towed, it should be weighed and combined with the towing vehicle's weight to ensure the total weight does not exceed the GCWR.

Identication and Safety

It is advisable to contact the Department of Motor Vehicles in each respective state, for up-to-date information regarding operation and licensing requirements for your particular motorhome.

The state of California currently requires operators of motorhomes over 40 feet in length to obtain a non-commercial class B license. California has also enacted legislation limiting use of motorhomes in excess of 40 feet, to approved roadways. You may contact Caltrans at www.dot.ca.gov or 916-654-5741 for current information regarding these California statues.

The motorhome serial number label is mounted on the inside wall next to the driver’s seat on a Class A motorhome and on the inside of the driver’s door post on a Mini motorhome. Refer to the chassis owner’s manual for the location of the chassis vehicle identification number on all motorized motorhomes.

Note: Always give model, year, and the VIN information

when ordering parts. Also, we recommend that you keep a copy of this information separate from the motorhome in the event theft or vandalism requires you to supply a copy to the authorities.

Decals and data plates used throughout the motorhome aid in its safe and efficient operation; others give service instructions. Read all decals, data, and instruction plates before operating your motorhome.

LAWS OF THE

ROAD

Note: When any decal, data, or instruction plate is damaged,

painted over, removed, etc.; the item should be replaced immediately.

The following warnings are posted throughout the motorhome to provide information on Propane safety. They have been installed not only because of the requirement to do so, but also as a constant reminder to occupants of the motorhome to exercise proper caution when using or being around Propane appliances and equipment. We are listing them here so you may study them and make sure that you and your family understand and follow them.

IT IS NOT SAFE TO USE COOKING APPLIANCES FOR COMFORT HEATING. COOKING APPLIANCES NEED FRESH AIR FOR SAFE OPERATION.

TO ENSURE PROPER VENTILATION BEFORE OPERATING PROPANE APPLIANCES YOU SHOULD OPEN OVERHEAD VENTS, TURN ON THE EXHAUST FAN, AND OPEN A WINDOW.

Warning labels are located in the cooking area to remind you to provide an adequate supply of fresh air for combustion. Unlike homes, the oxygen supply is limited due to the size of the motorhome, and proper ventilation when using the cooking appliances will avoid dangers of asphyxiation.

FIRE SAFETY

Fire safety is an important part of owning a motorhome. Make sure that everyone traveling in the motorhome is familiar with the location of exits, including emergency exit windows should an emergency arise. The following basic rules of fire prevention can help eliminate the possibility of a fire:

• Never store flammable liquids within the motorhome.

• Keep cooking surfaces clean.

• Never clean with a flammable liquid.

• Never leave cooking food unattended.

• Never smoke in bed, and always use an ashtray.

• Never allow children to play with Propane gas or

electrical equipment.

• Never use an open flame as a flashlight.

• Always repair faulty or damaged wiring and electrical

components.

• Never overload electrical circuits.

• Locate and repair Propane gas leaks immediately.

• Don’t allow rubbish to accumulate.

• Spray fabrics annually with a flame retardant.

If a fire does start, make sure to follow these basic rules of safety:

1. Have everyone evacuate the motorhome as quickly as possible.

2. After everyone is clear, check the fire to see if you can attempt to put it out. If it is too large, or the fire is fuel fed, get clear of the motorhome and have the fire department handle the emergency.

3. DO NOT attempt to use water to put out the fire. Water can spread some types of fire, and electrocution is possible with an electrical fire.

EXTINGUISHER

FIRE

DO NOT STORE PROPANE CONTAINERS INSIDE THE

Motorhome. Propane containers are equipped with

safety devices which relieve excessive pressure by

discharging gas to the atmosphere. Failure to comply could result in explosion resulting in death or serious

injury.

Portable fuel burning equipment including wood or

charcoal burning grills and stoves should not be used

inside the motorhome because they may cause fire or

asphyxiation.

Underwriter Laboratories classify fires into three types: Class A: Fires in wood, paper, fabric, rubber, and certain plastics Class B: Flammable liquids such as grease, cooking oils, gasoline, or kerosene Class C: Electrical fires started from live electrical wires, from short circuits, motors, or switches

The fire extinguisher, which is located by the entry door of the motorhome, is a chemical type suitable for extinguishing small fires of the class B or C type. Extinguishers are designed to put out fires in the initial stage, not when it is blazing out of control. If a fire cannot be approached within 10’, the extinguisher will not be effective.

To fight a fire with an extinguisher, first remove the tamper tape which covers the discharge push button. Hold it upright and stand six to ten feet from the fire with a clear path to an exit. Press the button down all the way, aimed at the base of the fire and spray with quick motions from side to side.

Identication and Safety

Avoid inhaling the dry chemicals. Although non-toxic, they could cause temporary irritation and vomiting. When the fire is out, clean up the area as soon as possible. The dry chemicals are non-corrosive, but some residue may cause surface damage if left too long.

To keep the fire extinguisher in proper operating conditions:

1. Check Pressure monthly or more often. Check the nozzle for obstruction. Press the green pin below the nozzle. If it returns and sticks out from the extinguisher, it is operable. If the pin does not come back, discard extinguisher. Refillable models have a pressure gauge to check.

2. Check the Tamper Tape to make sure it is intact. DO NOT test the extinguisher. Even a partial discharge may cause leakage.

3. When checking the extinguisher for pressure, enter the date checked on the Inspection Tag furnished with the motorhome. Regular inspections will help insure the condition.

4. Agitate Dry Chemical every six (6) months by inverting the bottle and lightly shaking for several seconds. This will help prevent the dry chemical from settling due to in motion vibrations.

THE SMOKE ALARM CANNOT OPERATE WITHOUT A 9 VOLT BATTERY. Removing the battery for any reason, or failing to replace the battery at the end of it's service life, removes your protection. Refer to the manufacturers owner’s manual for proper replacement batteries.

Test smoke detector operation after vehicle has been in storage, before each trip, and at least once

per week during use. Replace battery every six months.

The motorhome should never be operated or occupied

unless the smoke detector is present and functioning

properly.

The smoke alarm will only indicate the presence of smoke that reaches the sensor. The smoke alarm is not designed to sense gas, heat or flames.

For instruction on programming the alarm refer to the Smoke Alarm User’s Manual within your Owner’s Packet for detailed setup information.

Identication and Safety

CAUTION

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, tasteless, odorless gas. It is a by-product of combustion in the engine, generator and propane appliances. The engines in your motorhome and generator system produce it constantly while they are running. CARBON MONOXIDE IS DEADLY. Please read and understand the following precautions to protect yourself and others from the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.

DO NOT ALTER OR MODIFY ANY COMPONENT OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AT ANY TIME. Inspect the exhaust system at regular intervals for damage. If you suspect or locate damage to the system, have it repaired immediately

by a qualied service facility.

NEVER SLEEP WHILE THE ENGINE OR GENERATOR IS RUNNING. Be aware of carbon monoxide poisoning and its symptoms: Dizziness, Severe Headache, Vomiting, Weakness, Sleepiness, Muscular Twitching, and Throbbing in Temples. If anyone in the motorhome experiences any of these symptoms, shut off the engine, and immediately go outside into fresh air. Get medical

attention as soon as possible.

Over-filling the Propane gas tank can result in uncontrolled gas flow which can cause fire or explosion. A properly filled tank will contain approximately 80% of its volume as liquid Propane. An 80% automatic shut-off valve is installed on the Propane gas tank which will automatically prevent further filling when the gas volume has reached 80% of tank capacity.

CARBON MONOXIDE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

LP SAFETY

This tank is equipped with an automatic valve designed

to close at 80% liquid full. Always open 20% fixed liquid level bleeder gauge while filling. Stop filling if liquid appears before valve shuts off.

ALL PROPANE GAS IS CONTAINED UNDER PRESSURE. DUE TO THE DANGEROUS POTENTIAL OF ANY COMPRESSED GAS, IT IS MANDATORY THAT THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE USE OF THIS TANK BE FOLLOWED: Tanks are to be installed, fueled

and maintained in accordance with the state and local

codes, rules, regulations or laws and in accordance with the NFPA Pamphlet 58, division IV.

Only personnel trained in the handling of Propane may fill, test or repair the Propane gas system.

IF YOU SMELL GAS, EXTINGUISH ANY OPEN FLAMES, PILOT LIGHTS, AND ALL SMOKING MATERIALS. DO NOT TOUCH ELECTRICAL SWITCHES. Shut off the gas supply at the tank valve(s) or gas supply connection.

Open doors and other ventilation openings. Do not use the range hood. Leave the area until the odor clears and have the system checked by a trained professional

before using again.

Propane gas regulators must always be installed with the diaphragm vent facing downward. Regulators that are not in compartments have been equipped with a protective cover. Make sure that the regulator vent faces downward and the cover is kept in place to minimize vent blockage which could result in excessive gas pressure causing fire or explosion.
