modes of operation, the unit takes fresh air from outside
of the vehicle and heats or cools it before discharging into
the cockpit area. Only when operated in the MAX A/C
mode does the system recirculates air from inside the
cockpit area, thus maximizing the cooling effect of the air
conditioner.
Operating Features
The air conditioning system is designed to operate in all
modes except VENT, FLOOR and OFF. Operating the air
conditioner provides significant moisture, dust, and pollen
removal for enhanced passenger comfort. Use MAX A/C
and HI Fan for quick cool down. To assist with cooling,
close all windows and vents to hot, humid outside air.
To achieve the maximum comfort in the motorhome, the
air must be directed where it is needed. Some dash units
may feature a mode switch, which gives the driver the
ability to select where the air will flow; floor, dash vents,
or a blend.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Keep the condenser and radiator free of bugs and debris.
During periods of little use, operate the A/C system
monthly to keep the compressor lubricated. Periodically
inspect belts and hoses for wear and proper tension.

If repairs are necessary during the terms of the motorhome
warranty, please contact the nearest authorized Thor Motor

Heating/Cooling with Multiplex
Integration
Your motorhome may be equipped with a programmable
multiplex system that, among other features, will include
integrated control of the motorhome’s interior climate
(both heating and cooling), and all HVAC-related devices.
Your multiplex system panel may look different than the
illustrations below, but will function similarly.
TO OPERATE:
1. Turn ON the Master Battery Disconnect Switch , pro-
viding 12 volt DC power to the HVAC control unit(s).
a. If heat is desired, ensure the main propane valve is
ON prior to selecting HEAT.
b. If cooling is desired, ensure 120 volts AC is available
for the air conditioner(s).
2. Select the Temperature-setting feature by either
touching the temperature icon along the edge of the
multiplex panel, or touching the temperature icon on
the panel screen.
3. Select the zone you wish to control. Depending on
motorhome configuration, there may be one, two, or
three temperature zones.
4. Select cooling or heating by pressing the appropriate
area on the screen.
5. Select the desired temperature setting by either touch-
ing the UP or DOWN arrows.
If desired, select the fan speed by touching the HIGH,
