First trip out

[Pappadeaux]

Good morning !
We took our new Thor Chateau 29G out for her maiden voyage this past weekend... Everything appears to be working . It's always a bit nerve-wracking the first trip out. You just never know...

Anyway, a couple of questions that the Dealer didn't answer during the PDI and doesn't seem to know the answer to even now.
1. Where are the "low point drains"? Here in Cincinnati, It's almost time to winterize.
2. We have a "mystery key"... Please take a look at the attached pic.
From L-R... Ignition Key, Storage Area Lock key, Entry door Key and ????? Key.
Any ideas ?

On my coach the entry door locks uses two keys. The one on your right looks like the key that is used for the right lock on my entry door.

Not familiar with the 29G but on our 31 L the low point drains our under the bed in the corner. Very hard to see. The stem pulls up. Also agree that the mystery key on ours is for the entry door dead bolt.

Agree with Dave on keys. On our Vegas the mystery key you are asking about is the key to the entry door dead bolt. The smaller entry door key fits the tumbler for the door latch lock.

Just checked the "mystery key" and YES... It operates the Dead Bolt lock mechanism.
DUH !
Now why wouldn't the dealer know that? Oh, well....
Many thanks, Folks !

Alrighty then.
The search for the 29G low point drain continues.
I see nothing from below the coach under the bedroom.
Hmmm.... perhaps a call to Thor ?

[Pappadeaux]

GOT it !
It took a call to Thor to get the info.
There are 3 low point drains in addition to the Fresh Water Tank drain which is a petcock on the outside of the unit.... So, we have 4 total
The 3 in question are all located under the shower pan in the bathroom.
There is an access panel below and on the left side of the of the shower pan.
Remove 4 screws, remove the panel and there are 3 petcock drains located amidst the flexible heat ductwork. They are not very easy to reach but they are accessible from just above the floor underneath the shower.
As they say in the YouTube video... "GOT EEM !"

FYI.... Thor says that there is NOT a water filter on the Chateau 29G.
