need to replace this front unit, does anyone recommend a new replacement? any info on the camera switch that is supposed to be located somewhere in this mess in the dash? I noticed that the factory unit was wired with an wiring harness to the factory plug , is there a unit i can buy that plug and play Thanks

Most Thor MHs use a standard double-DIN radio form factor; so any double-DIN form factor radio will work.

The replacement will NOT be plug and play - you will need to wire the harness/connector that comes with the new radio to the chassis wiring.

Where the switch box is depends on what Year/Make/Model MH you have. Most are under the dash.

The switch box supplies power to the cameras and takes the 3 camera feeds and supplies the video to the radio via an RCA style plug. Rear view camera is always fed to the radio by default. The turn signal tells the switch box to change the video feed to the appropriate side camera.
The switch box also triggers the radio to switch to the camera input whenever the transmission is in REVERSE or the turn signal is activated.

Your new radio only needs a backup camera input and trigger which 99% of all new radios have.

You may do a search for the radio's documentation on line. That should have the pin out for the connector. Sometime you can get the factory adapter kit from Crutchfield. You can get the radio from them as well. If you run into a problem, they have techs that can help.

Check out this forum.

Thor will be able to recommend a Plug and Play replacement. Otherwise, the forum link above will have several recommendations. I personally am installing the Kenwood DNX775RVS for the RV navigation features. If you have class B or class C motorhome https://www.crutchfield.com/ might be able to help with a wiring harness but if you own a class A motorhome you will be on your own.

I replaced the Axxera in our previous 2016 Vegas with a double din unit from Crutchfield.
If you can match yellow to yellow, red to red and etc, you can splice the wires to a new unit,. The camera feed from the switcher was the easiest part.

You don't need plug and play, IMHO.
