You also recommend starting the generator during the winter while the unit is in storage. Will the generator start and/or charge anything if the coach batteries are removed? Does the generator help the chassis battery in any way?



Next job, winterizing the RV...and sigh, it is only September.



Thanks for the manual...it really does answer so many questions that the Thor manual does not. Still trying to get the On Demand Hot Water system to work properly as it is super sensitive to pressure and often goes from hot to ice cold.

The generator starts from the coach batteries... the emergency start switch might allow you to start from chassis, but those coach wires better be taped.
Personally I’ve never physically removed the batteries for winter when I was in Michigan... Just made sure I had a complete disconnect...

We have a cure for winterizing... Florida!

For the on demand system, try setting the hot water temp to a comfortable shower temp - so you don’t need to mix in any cold water... An issue if different occupants like significantly different shower temps... but if you can agree, the system seems the like the more consistent flow.
