But if there,s no other way, As mentioned, go to the Thor owners website at https://www.thormotorcoach.com/owners/ input your vin number and you should find the manuals for your motorcoach. Read them as you are driving off, but before you go at least
1. fill the potable water tank (this is water used on board to take showers, flush the toilet and wash things in the sink. DO NOT DRINK this water as I'd guess your tanks have not been sanitized in a while. Bring your own drinking water.)
2. fill the propane tank (Propane is used to run the fridge while driving, run the heater and run the stove and oven. Make sure your propane leak sensors are working correctly.)
3. fill the gas tank. (That's obvious but gas also runs your onboard generator.)
4. Have the basic supply's needed like a 30 amp power cord, sewage dump tube and clean water drinking hose. All can be bought at Walmart.)

Don’t connect to the sewer at a campground and keep your black and gray water tank valves open. You will end up with a big stinky mess in your tanks. Watch some videos on dumping. You will want lots of water mixed in before you dump. Open the gray tank valve for a brief time to ensure there are no leaks and close it. Then follow the procedure for dumping the black and then gray tank. We are also newbies, so this is the main thing I could think of.
Welcome to the forum! These people here are awesome! We have learned so much from them!
