I’ve went through the manuals, dealt with trying to get the wood cover that’s mounted on top of the base under the slide where they put a screw in it up never the slide to where you can’t remove it.

However, it appears from the factory, Thor installed, the fly fly modules as well as the transfer switch and them framed them in with no access.

In the picture, the main disconnect switch, the above items are mounted on the opposite side of that wall. Looks like I’m going to have to either cut the top out above for overhead access or try to remove the battery disconnect and cut that wall, probably going with the top. Just curious what others did and why would Thor enclose items like this in a way you can’t easily access them?

I have a solar panel on the roof and have a suspicion the charger controller for it’s behind there as well.

For anybody else running with these models, turns out the transfer switch and the FireFly control modules were framed behind the wall.

I had to unbolt the Power center, pull it out, remove bolts out of the front panel. Then use a pry bar to start prying the brown panel off carefully as it was stapled to the frame.

Then there were plywood cutout stapled to the frame, had to cut those staples to pull the plywood panels out.

After all this still haven’t located the solar charger, if one exists.
