I have a 2021 Thor Sequence 20K built on the Ram 3500 chassis. Everything was working completely fine but today when I got in to start up the vehicle, my radio and backup camera is not working and the odometer on the dash keeps flashing and when I put it in reverse it does not make the constant beeping noise. It's just too little tiny light sounding little beeps and it's completely different than what it should sound like. I haven't checked the fuses or any breakers yet but wanted to put this post out there to see if anyone has any suggestions as to what may be the problem. Has anyone else had this happen?

Into a lame search engine.
Read those.

You have either a corroded connection or a multi-thousand dollar problem.

I'm not sure we should be the only resource asked about such specific problems.
I think we're far more valuable after you've done some research and are stymied.

We are nothing of value to others if you don't report back with th answer.

I called and spoke to a few texts with Ram/Dodge and also spoke to GoodSam. GoodSam was more helpful than Ram/Dodge. From with the tech at Good, Sam told me that the odometer is tied in with the pioneer stereo and most likely it just needs to be reset. If your RV's been sitting for a while and has not been plugged in and the battery goes low, it sets the stereo system a haywire and will cause it to not turn back on. This is something specific to just the pioneer unit that is put into the 2021 Thor sequence models. Once I do the reset everything should be back online and working and I'll report back. But apparently the pioneer system is tied into the odometer. It will cause it to flash if the radio is not working. I did have my van parked and not plugged in for a few days but was running the generator as well as the solar and didn't seem there were. I thought it could be an issue but this is the battery for the vehicle/chassis. The year of my Thor sequence 2021, the pioneer system is tied into the vehicle's battery and not the house batteries.
 
Looks like I have to take it into a Dodge/Ram dealership and get a Proxi Alignment so the computer systems all start talking to each other. The non-working stereo and flashing odometer issue is all connected.
