Thor Vegas automatic transfer switch
Wanted to add to the experiences with this item. We have a 2015 Thor Vegas 24.1. Over the past few months, the shore AC would not always go on when plugged in . Thought it was post power problems at the campsites, but it happened at home too. No distribution AC breakers would trip. The generator AC would be ok, never tripped out when activated. Since the problem was so intermittent, it took a while to solve. I searched for a long while to find the ATS in my rig. Turns out, it is located under the hall closet, but you have to remove the two drawers to get to it. Once I removed it for inspection with the wires still intact on the unit, I discovered one very blackish discolored neutral wire (they are white). Further inspection revealed the wire was very loose on the terminal. I stripped the blacken part, connected it tight, and tried the shore AC, as well as the Gen. All worked very well. I suspect Thor would say that it was shaken loose from travels, maybe so, but it also might not have been installed at the factory three years ago with the correct screw torquing. Anyway, the unit was not damaged, apparently, and it was a satisfying self-fix!
