The inverter is actually always in play and passes through 120 when on shore power. You are correct you can turn off the dial inside the fridge but the power is still there and will kill the...

New 2020 Challenger with some lose rocker switches across the dash (dash fans, generator start, etc.). Are these supposed to be clipped into the dash somehow? I have a few that pop out randomly and...

Picked up a new 2020 Thor Challenger 35MQ this weekend from MHSRV in Texas and drove it back to Florida on Saturday and Sunday.

Called the manufacturer. They said the bars used to be held on by the middle screws which probably explains the goo on the threads (prevent it from coming loose). The newer ones have bars attached...

That's what I thought initially, but no it does not. Putting two wires under a single screw is not code and I'd prefer not to unless I had no other options.

I definitely intend to rip into all this as soon as I get some time as I'm very curious. My inverter is a Xantrex Pro XM 1000 which does have an ATS. I believe the drawing to be accurate based on...

Yes, sorry I don't mean Thor's factory, I mean the WFCO factory that makes the converter.


With that said, Thor's factory could have easily cut the split and just ran the single wire. If you're...

Seems like a combination of both to be honest, but I'm having trouble making sense of it (I haven't unhooked and dug into the wiring yet).

Based on that it may have been intentional. I'm probably inclined to just leave it as is at least for now even though it gives me zero outlets on the inverter excluding the TVs. I'll also ask Thor...
