THOR #421
Had the same issue on my new 29.2. Catastrophic failure on the genset under 40 hours on the way to Orlando. Therw a rod and broke the turbine shaft. Cummins/Onan said it was due to overheating. New genset installed and still it had issues shutting down in high temps. Thor designed the most perfect place NOT to put a Gen. Behind the engine, open at the bottom to pull hot air in and no ventiliation. My bin door even started melting. My dealer (who is awesome) is fabricating me a vented bin door, a heat shield around the gen, and runnign insulated lines and a metal junction box (the plastic one started melting). And Thor is covering it. I like Thor for their support, but man that was a dumb design.
