THOR MOTOR COACH | MADE TO FIT
Interior Lighting
e interior lighting installed in your or Motor Coach
motorhome provides safe and convenient illumination for
the living space of your RV. All interior lighting xtures,
which include ceiling, reading, accent, and safety illumination
operate on 12-volts DC. Most, if not all, interior lighting
comprises of energy-ecient and long-lasting LEDs.
Controls for interior lights are conveniently located on
wall-mounted switch panels or on the main multiplex control
panel. Multiplex systems include a master lighting control
and dimming functions. Some accent lighting xtures have
a built-in push-on, push-o switch located in the center of
the xture cover.
Operating Interior Lights
Since all interior lighting xtures operate on 12-volt DC
power, the motorhome’s 12-volt DC power system must
be activated.
To operate lighting fixtures by the 12-volt battery
system:
1. Turn ON the main battery disconnect switch, located
near the main entrance door of the motorhome.
2. Operate interior lights as needed.
To operate lighting fixtures by shore power:
1. Connect the shore power cord to an external power
source.
2. Operate interior lights as needed. Power for the lights
(and other 12-volt devices) is sourced through the
on-board converter (located within the power load
center), which transforms incoming 120-volts AC to
12-volts DC.
Efficient 12-volt LED lighting provides safe and convenient illumination
in all areas of the motorhome
To operate lighting fixtures by the generator:
1. Turn the main battery disconnect switch ON (must be
ON in order to start and operate the generator.
2. Operate interior light as needed. Power for the lights and
other 12-volt devices is sourced through the on-board
converter (located within the power load center), which
transforms incoming 120-volts AC to 12-volts DC.
NOTES:
•
Motorhomes equipped with a multiplex control
system have the interior lighting controls integrated
into the main control panel, with additional remote
lighting panels located throughout the motorhome.
Individual lighting icons that display and arrow are
dimmable. Press and hold the light icon until the light
fixture dims to the desired illumination level.
•
When leaving the motorhome for longer than a few
hours and not connected to shore power, it is good
practice to turn off interior lighting and turn OFF the
main battery disconnect switch. Doing so will prevent
the auxiliary (house) battery from unnecessary
discharging.
Appliances
DO NOT USE GAS COOKING APPLIANCES FOR
COMFORT HEATING. CAN LEAD TO CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING, WHICH CAN CAUSE DEATH OR SEVERE
INJURY.
DO NOT OPERATE GAS RANGES OR GAS COOKTOPS
WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.
DANGER
GAS COOKING APPLIANCES NEED FRESH AIR
FOR SAFE OPERATION. BEFORE OPERATING:
• Open vents or windows slightly or turn on exhaust
fan prior to using cooking appliance.
• Gas flames consume oxygen, which should be
replaced to ensure proper combustion.
• Range covers must be open when the surface
burners are in operation.
• Improper use can result in death or severe injury.
