the TV are located on its side. You may need to program the TV prior to use. Please see
the products owners manual provided for complete instructions.
Your motorhome was provided with a digital converter box for the television. This will
allow you to receive digital stations without being connected to a satellite. For complete

To use the drop down bed first remove the bed ladder from the overhead. Locate and
unsnap the safety straps that secure the ladder. Place ladder out of the way until the bed
is in the down position. Return the ladder to its overhead when not in use.
Make sure the bed ladder is secured by the safety snaps before driving.
To use the bed first pull out the beds’ mechanism pins located on the left and right side
on the mechanism. Unlatch the safety straps. While standing in the center of the bed
frame, pull towards you and down on the bed frame, until bed has reached the lowest
position. To raise the bed to the “up” position, stand in the center of the bed, lift up on the
bed frame until bed reaches “up” position. Insert the locking pins on either side of the bed
on the mechanism and securely latch the safety straps.
The bed mechanism will stop when having made contact with the
internal bumpers.
The bed will stay in the “down” position until manually lifted up.
Thor Motor Coach recommends to strip the bed of all bedding and
pillows before returning the bed to the “up” position.
The maximum weight rating for the bed is 450 lbs.
Interior doors and drawers have travel latches to keep them closed while you are in transit.
To open drawers lift slightly to clear the catch, then pull open.
When storing articles:
• Always keep tools and equipment stored in areas where they will not shift while
traveling.
• Whenever possible, place heavy articles in storage compartments which are low and
near the axles for better weight distribution. Pack articles carefully in the storage
compartments to minimize shifting. If necessary, use straps to prevent movement.
• Be sure liquid containers are capped and cannot tip or spill. Secure all glass containers
and dishes before traveling.
Additional storage is accessible directly beneath the bed. Simply unlatch and lift the foot
of the bed. The device is equipped with gas struts to assist with opening, holding, and
closing the bed storage lid.
