Obamacare is not available to retirees. You must be employed, and have no other healthcare options in order to qualify.

Thor worthless warranty

I have to ask, why are you returning it to them again, when they were unable to repair it properly the first time? Why are YOU driving it there? Are they paying your expenses?

I read all the time...

Reimbursement

It's going to be a cold day in hell if THOR agrees to a refund. If you have a lemon law case, file now, don't wait a day longer.

THOR apparently cares nothing about "Customers for life". One and...

Schwintek mechanisms are all under engineered, then poorly built with the cheapest, crummiest junk Chinese parts available, in China.

Towing Capacity

I think you need to revisit the towing specs of your motor home. The brochure for your model, under specs, shows it with a 4000# towing capacity, not 8000#.

Towing a 5000# vehicle behind any...

Weber Conversion

I just bought the hose adapter and hooked the Weber up with the same hose as the Aussie Grill. I get the same temps as you, glad you posted your results.

Weber Grill

I am pretty sure the Aussie Grill had a regulator too. Anyway, I hooked mine up to the same LPG outlet THOR provides, and it works. Maybe it's unregulated?

I converted mine to use the LPG outlet. That fitting was a bear to find. Wasn't on Amazon. Forgot where I ended up finding it, sorry. Even when I got it, I had to file it a bit to get it to work...

Bent Jack

I don't know of any way a hydraulic Jack could bend during normal use. Those are very expensive, like $2k. Good luck with warranty coverage.
