2016 Thor Outlaw owner
I suffer no delusions that motor homes are built like toyota's and hondas and are problem free, but it is a little bit concerning when right off the lot I have a host of issues. That being said, I still love this thing, I love the floor plan and all the space! Coming from a well used 19' toy hauler was a huge upgrade.
I'll leave off the petty fixes that the dealer will take care of ie, alignment, bed coming off tracks, doors not latching, blah blah.
My biggest concern is the invert er, it appears to not be working. 12volt power works in the coach but I'm getting a e05 code despite being fully charged. Put it on on auto mode and the generator has to run to keep the fridge cooled. I tried the GFI in the bathroom (it was tripped) but didn't fix the problem, I reset all the breakers I could find but maybe I'm missing something. I'll bring my 12volt tester home tonight to make sure the invert er is getting power but did I miss a reset some where that might keep me from being held hostage by the dealer?
The dealer is already aware of the problem and trying to get me in this week before my planned trip this weekend. I'm willing to work with them, I even said I'll order another one and install it my self, keep it as a spare. I'd hate to be dry camping for an extended time and have to run my generator full time to keep the fridge cool. The service guy said it would void my warranty.
Are inverters going out a frequent thing? I was already hesitant about a residential fridge, this is kinda what I was worried about.
Also had an issue with the slide out, first time using it this past weekend and it got stuck open, had to do the manual override. Then it went in once it was reset. Hopefully that's not a frequent thing to go bad.
Thanks for your time, I hate to sound like a whiny first time RV owner but it's a little concerning after one trip so many issues.
