caution - Thor Motor Coach

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 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 fill 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 CAUTION
a Thor Motor Coach dealer.
Just like 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.
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 finished 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 fiberglass, 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.
