What owners report
Driver side wiper sweep angle does not fully clear the field of view.
1. Problem: main power (connect) switch doesnât communicate It shows there is power to the coach but IT DOES NOT SHOW whether or not the main power is connected to the chassis (motor) battery. I have been stranded with a dead chassis battery because of Thorâs neglect to use a communicative power switch. Safety issue because one could be camping in an area without emergency start services because of this. 1. Thor is aware these improper power switches in the 2018 (and in other model years) are non communicative and can leave people stranded. Thor has admitted the 2018 switch is wrong and corrected the switch in the2022 models (I confirmed this at the dealer). They have admitted fault. 3
