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
specified 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 first 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 specific, 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 clarification 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 Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying
Thor Motor Coach.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds 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: 800-
424-9153, 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.
