Does anyone know a source of online or print user manuals for Thor? My recently purchased 2005 Thor Wanderer did not come with a manual and I have the usual types of newbie questions.
thank you - M

I should add if you are connecting to a household receptacle you will only be able to use 15 amps. If you are using an extension cord the current will be limited to the rating of the extension cord. You should use a 12 gauge extension cord if you want to use the AC or the microwave, or an electric heater.

You probably have a 30 amp power cord. If it has 3 prongs it is, if it has 4 it is a 50 amp cord. If you are at a campground, simply plug it into the appropriate receptacle. If you are at home you will need an adapter to connect the type of power cord you have to the household power receptacle. You can buy one at Wallmart.

It would be a good idea to tell us what your Thor Wanderer is. By googling it I found it could be a travel trailer, fifth wheel or a toy hauler, and it comes in many lengths.

Most of the appliance makers have PDF manuals for their products at their web-pages.
For general repair/maintenance work I recommend the RV Repair and Maintenance Manual by Robert Livingston. This book covers just about everything, appliances, frame, tires, generators, etc, etc, etc

When someone tells you to buy the same rig they own, listen, they might be right. When they tell you to buy a different rig then they own, really pay attention, they probably know something you don't.

I bought my 2005 Thor Four Winds new and all I got was a generic booklet that "covered" practically any motorhome. I don't think you will find a manual specific to any Thor product. As Mike said, ask in this forum. Some free advice, and worth the price - limit each thread to one question.
