Expert Answers about Thor ACE Motorhome

  • Is It Normal For Edge Of L Bracket On Blue Ox 2-Point BLU44XR To Wear A Lot?
  • That is not normal wear for the L-Brackets on your Blue 2-Point # BLU75FR to be that worn. It looks like you have too much angle in the head, so I recommend trying to tilt the L-brackets a little to try and get the bar less on just that one edge, and verify your system is rated correctly for your trailer. The tilting of the head is used to add tension to the spring bars so it's possible your spring bars are underrated for the tongue weight your using it for. With all of that said for...

  • Recommended Driver And Passenger Seat Cover For Captain Chair on 2012 Thor Ace 29.2
  • The Classic Accessories RV Captain Seat Cover # CA80112 is a fit for most RV captain-style seats and my recommendation for a cover. The Thor seats are notorious for the cracking vinyl you show in the attached photo, so a cover is a great option. The seat back on this cover is 24 inches and the overall height is 33 inches. The width and depth measurements are both 24 inches. It comes with 2 arm rest covers and a cutout for the seat adjustment lever. This cover has an elastic cord through...

  • Blue Ox Patriot3 Brakes Always On Solución de Problemas Frenos del Blue Ox Patriot3 Siempre Activado
  • Hello Eduardo. I have a few questions for you. Is this something that has recently started to happen or is this the first time you are using the Blue Ox Patriot part # BLU37TR? Is it intermittent braking or always applying the brakes? Is it something that happens over time while towing or from the start? Is there any error codes or messages showing? There are a few reasons why this could be happening. If the main unit is not sitting on the vehicle floor properly it can cause the unit...

  • Recommended Brake Controller for a 2018 Thor Ace Motorhome
  • For your 2018 Thor Ace Motorhome, I recommend using the Curt Spectrum Trailer Brake Controller part # C51170. The reason for this is because this unit is composed of two main parts, the control box and the output knob. The control box gets mounted out of site and then the output knob will get installed up on your dash for easy use and a very aesthetically pleasing look. The color output of the knob also helps with ease of use. Since your motorhome is on a Ford F-53 chassis, you can use...

  • Recommended Air Bags for a 2020 Thor ACE 30.3 to Help w/ Ride Height and Clearance
  • Welcome back Michael. I don't have any parts that are designed specifically to lift your Thor ACE motorhome but I do have a solution that will help your suspension from sagging. If your suspension is flexing because of the weight of your motorhome a set of front and rear air bags will limit how much your leaf springs will compress. This in return will raise your ride height, giving you additional clearance for your landing gear and steps. To add a front and rear air bags to your 2020...

  • Will Thermostat for Furrion Chill Cube Work With Non-Ducted Systems
  • Hi Stanley; the Thermostat for Furrion Chill Cube # LC74DX is only designed for the ducted version of the Chill Cube. It is not compatible with your Furrion Chill Cube # FR27TD. If you want a thermostat to control a separate furnace I would pick up a simple mechanical one like # CAM09221 and run the furnace separately. If you want another way to control the AC, aside from the remote and ADB controls, I would check to see if any aftermarket thermostat companies make one that will work...

  • Why Would Safe-T Plus Steering Stabilizer Seem Like Its Not Working on 2017 Thor Ace 30.14
  • Hey Thomas, Safe-T plus states that their stabilizers should last the lifetime of the motorhome with many reporting well over 100,000 miles before needing replacement. If yours doesn't seem like it's doing much I would suspect its either failed somehow (it has a limited lifetime warranty) or the wrong one was installed on the RV. It should be white in color and while our part number is the # ST88MR the Safe-T Plus part number would be 41-180. You might also check to make sure there aren't...

  • Can Existing Wires Be Used to Connect SeeLeveL RV Holding Tank Monitoring System
  • Hello again Stanley; as long as you have 18 gauge wire for the signal wire and ground for each sensor that will work. However, if the trailer is older it is probably a good idea to run new wire to avoid any issues down the road while you're working on it. I went ahead and attached a picture of the wiring and wiring chart from the # SE99VR instructions below. The full instructions are linked a little further down on this page for your reference.

  • SumoSprings Kit Recommendation for 2019 Thor ACE 30.2
  • For your 2019 Thor ACE 30.2 I recommend the SumoSprings part # SSR-187-40-1 over other options as it will give you the better suspension support and improved handling you are looking for without creating harshness in the ride quality like the Timbren kit would. The matching front kit is the # SSF-170-40-2. I attached install videos for both of these kits for you to check out as well.

  • Looking For One Replacement Jack Foot pad For 2014 Thoe Ace Motorhome
  • Hello Mary, thanks for reaching out. Yes we do sell individual replacement SnapPads, but there is no way for me to look up your RV to know exactly what size/shape you need. I will just need to know the diameter and shape of your jack feet. For example, the Replacement Pad for SnapPad Jack Stand Pad System # SP54FR is for a 9" round jack foot. Let me know the shape and size of your jack foot and I am happy to look into it. It is not unheard of for the SnapPads to go missing. Sometimes...

  • Should White Plug Remain Unused When Installing Furrion Chill Cube
  • Hey Stanley! To clear things up, you need to connect the white plug. However, this is definitely confusing. I just looked at the # FR27TD instructions and I see where it says to tuck the white connection off to the side, unused. Directly below that it shows the white 2-wire plugs connected. When we installed this we also connected it. We actually have the Lippert rep for the Furrion Chill Cube here today so I went out and asked him about it. He said he isn't sure why it is written that...

  • Recommendations to Improve Ride and Suspension on 2014 Thor ACE 30.1 Motorhome
  • It sounds like you're looking for some enhancements to help improve the ride quality in your 2014 Thor ACE 30.1 Motorhome. If this is the case I highly recommend starting with the Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer # RM-RBK22-RSSA, which is a confirmed fit for your RV's Ford F-53 chassis and 18,000 pound GVWR. This is going to mount between the steering mechanism and chassis to create a tight connection which will drastically reduce wander and quickly correct any oversteering. From...

  • How To Remove RV Steps When The Bolt Is Spinning And You Can't Access The Top Of The Bolt
  • Hey Aldo, sorry about your troubles, that sounds frustrating for sure. While that is not super common, I've heard of it happening from time to time. Sometimes the manufacturers weld the top of the bolt in place or press it in so that you can't access it when replacing, which is super annoying. If you watch the video I attached below, Kevin was able to get the nuts off while leaving the bolts in place so that the new steps could attach in the same manner with the same bolts. Being that your...
