To extend a manual awning you first have to loosen the round knob and lever at the<br />
bottom of the side rails. Using the provided awning rod, unlatch the lever at the top right<br />
side of the awning. Using the same awning rod, pull on the loop in the center of the<br />
awning. To retract, have the rod in the loop and release the lever at the top right side.<br />
Be careful, the awning is under spring pressure and will start to retract immediately.<br />
The awning is a convenient way to extend your campsite to include a patio within your<br />
location. When using the awning, always set one side lower than the other to allow for<br />
water runoff. For complete instructions on the use of your awning, please refer to the<br />
instructional guide in your Owner’s Information Kit. When used properly, your awning<br />
provides a comfortable atmosphere during your camping excursions.<br />
Many RV parks have cable television and telephone jack connections available. This<br />
will enable you to watch cable television in either the bedroom or the living area by<br />
utilizing the video selector box in the dash overhead. It will also allow you to access a<br />
telephone jack hookup. Simply plug in the TV cable or telephone cord into the outside<br />
cable and telephone receptacle.<br />
The generator compartment is located in a storage compartment on the side of the<br />
motorhome. You can start/stop the generator from outside the unit by pushing the start<br />
button in and holding it until you hear the generator start/stop. Refer to the Generator<br />
Owner’s Manual for operating and maintenance information.<br />
The furnaces used by <strong>Thor</strong> <strong>Motor</strong> <strong>Coach</strong> have electronic ignition, and there is no need<br />
to access this panel except for service. As with all appliances, service is best left for<br />
your dealer. To remove the panel to check for insect nests, you will need a Square or a<br />
Phillips head screwdriver. For further information, reference the furnace manufacturer’s<br />
manual provided with your vehicle.<br />
You can gain access to the water heater control panel to check for insect nests by<br />
turning the tab at the top and allowing the door to hinge down. Due to the electronic<br />
ignition, it is no longer necessary to access this compartment for lighting the pilot. It<br />
has an electronic module board, electronic ignition lighter, and a safety pop-off valve to<br />
relieve the pressure, should it be necessary.<br />
The refrigerator is an electronic ignition appliance and there is no need to access this<br />
panel except for service or checking for insect nests. If a problem is encountered,<br />
follow the guidelines for use as outlined in the Refrigerator Owner’s Manual located in<br />
the Owner’s Information Kit. If the problem is not resolved, contact an authorized <strong>Thor</strong><br />
<strong>Motor</strong> <strong>Coach</strong> dealer.
