Thor Chateau Model 30D Class C RV with Bunks (32’) - YouTube

Welcome to B&B RV. We're located at 8101 East 40th Avenue in Denver our phone number is 303-322-6013

We're gonna walk around the model 30 D today let's take a look at the outside

here the first compartment we come to is the generator it all operates from

inside you don't need to do anything out here just be aware that's the exhaust

for the generator so if you do have kids around that does get hot this is a

storage area it also has your cord in it so this is a cord for the campground

when you get to the campground they're gonna have an outlet a 30 amp outlet

you're gonna plug this into the campground then there's going to be a

breaker at the campground where this plugs in make sure that breaker is on as

well when you leave the campground you unplug and you put this cord right back

into this compartment one thing to be aware of on this compartment is there is

a box up front which is the controls for this slide she just want to make sure

you're not throwing anything heavy or sharp or against that box as we moved

back along and so be your propane tank that's going to be full when you leave

and if you need to fill that for any reason it's not a self-serve thing they

fill it for you so campgrounds truck stops you hauls any place that has the

propane they can fill that for you this is a little outside shower rinse off

anything that you need before you get back in the coach this is going to be

the cable so this is a hookup for cable TV if you're going to have cable at the

campground that you're at regular unleaded fuel in this unit

this is for your dump so back here in the bumper you're gonna find your dump

hose and it's just stored here so you're gonna pull that hose out bring it up

here take this cap off hook the hose up put the hose down into the drain this is

your black tank that's your toilet so pull that black tank first let it

completely drain when it's done pull this grey tank that's the soapy water

from the sinks and shower so that will kind of rinse out that hose for you when

you're all done take your hose off put the cap back on put your hose back here

in the bumper and put the cap on the bumper make sure you get that on nice

and tight this is a city water connection for leaving your hose hook to

water so if you're gonna hook your hose up at the campground just leave it

hooked up you can hook up to this if you're gonna fill your onboard water and

you're gonna do that here so you just hose just goes in fills it up there's an

overflow underneath or it'll come back out when it's full there's also the

gauge inside that I'll tell you when that's full this compartment will have

blocks for leveling so what we include

we include these blocks that are three steps so you're going to lay this down

under the tire wherever it's low if the back is low the side the front wherever

you're low you just lay these these blocks under the tire drive up on the

block to get level there's a level in the - we'll show you that when we get

inside you're gonna have some camp chairs we include for camp chairs we

include a water hose this is a V hose its line so it won't taste like hose for

potable water cable for cable TV and gloves we include some gloves for

dumping if you'd like to use those on the back

of the coach we do have a ladder just for our use we're going to get up there

and check the roof every time it comes back it's only for emergencies if you

need to get up there for an emergency be careful it's very slippery when it's wet

and it's not a patio on this side of the coach this unit does have a storage

compartment here as well as here so two storage compartments on the back another

storage compartment here all these storage compartments have a key that

opens all of those we have two more storage compartments up front on this on

each side of the door these compartments are pretty handy for things like muddy

shoes getting in and out of the door or any other storage you might need as

outside speakers on this unit does have an awning thought awning is sit here in

the patio so if you're under the awning enjoying it that's fine if you're gonna

leave the coach do not leave that awning out put the awning in anytime you're not

sitting under it and enjoying it and right inside is the awning switch will

show you as we get in if you're plugged into electricity or have the generator

on you've got a couple of outlets here plug in any appliances each might want

to use let's go inside and check this one out this is the inside of the model

30d it's got a heated mirror this button here is just for heated mirrors for

winter use and then obviously this is to adjust left and right marriage or

driving this has a tow haul feature on the end of the gearshift

so as you're going up the mountains at about 40 to 45 miles an hour this will

start to slow down and it'll shift down once it shifts down just push this tow

haul button in and a little tow haul light will come on on the - leave that

on going up the hill and especially leave it on coming back down the hill as

you're coming down if it's still going a little faster

you watched you don't want to have to break coming down the hill then you just

tap the brakes twice and it'll shift down for you so that you don't have to

brake coming down the hill you want to just let the engine and the transmission

do that for you there's a couple of outlets here to charge phones these are

all run off of your car battery you have a car battery to start it and you have

two house batteries we upgrade everything to do all house batteries for

you and those will run everything in the back except your microwave your air

conditioner and your outlets we'll get to that when you get back to the

generator there's a level here for you so you want to make sure as you park

that you're three D level you want this bubble to be touching that black circle

in the middle your refrigerators fluids have to be able to circulate you need to

be relatively level for that if you're parking somewhere where you think you

need the emergency brake park somewhere else we discourage the use of the

emergency brake on these your backup camera is going to be on anytime you put

it in reverse it's built into the radio here you can also go into the radio by

pushing the home button and just turning that camera on manually and just see

what's behind you so anytime you want to do that everything else up here is

pretty standard you've got your air conditioner if you're renting in the

summer and that - air or in the winter and the - heat isn't sufficient you can

turn that generator on turn the air conditioner you do not need the

generator for the furnace just air conditioner microwave and outlets up

above we've got a bed so this piece will flip over into this hole to make a bed

and this ladder will come down here for access up and down from the bed TV he'll

swing out up in this compartment you got the DVD and remotes for the TV up on the

side where the cables connected there's a tiny little button you want to have

that button pushed in and have a green light on for broadcast TV have that

button out for cable or for DVD otherwise everything that will run

you'll have to go in to the menu for the TV tell what your source is or your

input depending on what how it's labeled and then have it search for channels so

that it knows what it has in your area there's a couple of curtains that pull

across here for privacy when you use those just kind of hold them up edges

slide them this is a plastic rail so you don't want to pull down too hard on that

there's a privacy curtain here too that goes around the cab area blocks that off

at night for privacy in this cabinet we have a lighter for you a flyswatter and

a deck of our custom cards in here for you we also have a manual that we've

created specifically for this unit everything in this unit is covered any

questions you have will be in here if you ever need to reference that while

you're out all these curtains work the same you're just gonna pull down in the

middle and back up just try to pull it in the middle instead of the ends we're

gonna slide this out and show you how this works we'll come back up and show

you the two beds as we get back to the control panel and give us a little more

room in the living room here so we'll go skip to the middle to the control panel

here this is the control panel and this does control everything in the unit

we'll start by extending that slide out so if you just hit extend and hold that

extend down while the slide goes all the way out when you push this button down

to extend it you want to make sure that up by the driver's seat it's not wedged

against that slide or anything's falling in behind the slide that would tear up

that trim once it's to the wall like that you want to just let go of the

button so we'll come back up now that we have a little more room that we've run

the slide out and show you this can convert to a bed this is called the

dream dinette so you don't have any leg in the way everything runs up and down

on the wall there's a little handle under the table you just turn that

handle and then you're able to push this all the way down so it's going to come

all the way down to this rail and then these four cushions just lay flat to be

a bed once you're ready to put it back in the morning you just move the

cushions pull this back up that's the latch and you're ready for

breakfast this is also a sleeping area with this sofa you're just going to lift

the bottom and you're gonna pull this toward you you're gonna pick this up

push it back in simple as that to make another sleeping surface we upgrade

pretty much everything in these coaches we have stainless steel sinks an upgrade

of faucets we have a microwave and an oven with the stove in these all you

have to do is turn this burner on and hit the spark and these alight for you

if you're going to use the oven you have to take this put it on pilot hold the

pilot in and while you're holding in the pilot you're gonna reach back in and

light it it's about two-thirds of the way back and it's just a little finger

sticking down hold this in and light it it takes a long time you think it's not

working it's not working it finally works in lights it's a small light a

small little flame it's not gonna poof at you and then hold it about thirty

more seconds then you can turn it up to the temperature that you want and go

ahead and use the oven microwave just like home you have to have electricity

for the microwave in the air-conditioner shouldn't run them at the same time if

there's lights on this microwave that's how you know that yep excuse me that you

have electricity and everything's working that's when you plug into the

campground if you don't have lights here then out where you plugged in you'll

probably need to throw that breaker the fridge is right here it's gonna be an

all automatic fridge it'll switch between electricity and propane so if

this orange lights on it's working on propane if that orange light is flashing

you just need to turn it off and back on auto and it'll relight itself you

probably won't see it but it's a good thing to get in the habit of looking for

so that's not off for hours before you realize and turn it back on if you plug

into electricity or run off the generator that orange lights going to go

off and you'll only have a green light there's an adjustment for cold here

freezer on top fridge on the bottom all runs

automatic and those work great back to finish the control panel now at the top

of the control panel is your generator so you're just going to hold down this

Start button until it starts and then just let go of the button and give it a

30 seconds to a minute to kick in you'll have electricity anytime you want to run

your air conditioner your microwave or your outlets you'll need power if you're

not plugged into a campground if you're plugged in then you don't need the

generator this is all your gauges he just push the button and they'll light

up for propane battery fresh water and black water on the battery gauge we

don't encourage relying on that because in a deep cycle battery it's going to be

good good good bad so just know that if you're dry camping or you're not having

any services now plugged into electricity

you're not driving during the day you're not running the generator that you'll

need to either do one of those things most likely run the generator if you're

dry camping so you can keep those batteries charged and so that's only if

you're dry camping somewhere without electricity for you know a day or days

at a time and we can go over that if that's the case when you're going out

we'll explain that to you a little more the fresh water

the black water and the gray water they will all light up to tell you what the

values are in those tanks if you dump your black tank and it doesn't go back

to just empty it's because things just hang up on those sensors there is a

bucket that we include in the bathroom with some cleaning supplies you can fill

that bucket with water dump it down the toilet when you're hooked up to the

drain and see if that will help wash those sensors off but just be aware that

it's no big deal you know you just dumped it and it's just not showing

empty because things do hang up on those sensors once in a while you have slide

this slide is up front this slides in the back to push this rear slide out

just gonna hit extend and this is the back so we're sliding

out the whole back of the RV your bunk beds and your wardrobe in the back we're

all going to slide once again we're going to hold this down until they get

all the way out you want to have the slide either all the way in or all the

way out once it gets out you can just let go of the button and now you've got

to walk around queen bed and all kinds of room with your bunk beds here they'll

finish up this control panel these are tank heaters for winter use if

you're plugged into electricity to campground and it's cold freezing or

just below then we'll turn these on so if you're going out in the winter we can

explain that but you're only going to use these if you're plugged in at a

campground you don't want to use them if you're not plugged in because they'll

drain your batteries water pump any time you're going to use onboard water you

want to have the water pump on if you're hooked up with pressurized water for the

hose you won't need the water pump your water heater has two options we have a

hundred and ten bold options so if you're plugged in electricity you can

use that 110 to eat your water if you're not plugging into electricity or have

your generator on then you're going to use the propane option and turn that

that switch on to heat your water this is your thermostat for both heating and

cooling so you're gonna take this switch over to the left for cool over to the

right for heat and then just set the temperature to your desired level we

recommend leaving this switch on Auto high anytime that that furnace or air

conditioner comes on then the fan will just automatically come on with it

there's a light switch here with your bunk beds we've upgraded these so that

now you have another dining area because in this coach it accommodates more

people but you just have the one table for four so now you have another table

back here this top bunk does have latches on both sides you want to make

sure that latches in before you lift this up so it won't scrape up the wall

but this will just flip up and latch out of your way we don't recommend driving

with that up that latch is not a percent so make sure that you put this

down before you drive don't have this up with people sitting here while you're

driving this table will come off of the leg that leg comes out of the floor and

just lays here so this table also lays flat here and these for cushions make

your second bed and that gives you the two bunk

you've got lights and you've got windows in each one this has another TV back

here with its own remote in behind you've got the whole bedroom you got

another TV here full wardrobe this is all upgraded to be a pillow top mattress

and again you have lights overhead and light switches so that anything back

here you have a an emergency window if you cannot get out the front for some

reason you can get out the back just open those latches that window swings

out and you can get out the back the bathroom here in the middle it's an

all-in-one bathroom they call because you have your shower toilet sink

everything in the one room so on the toilet you're just gonna push this pedal

to flush the toilet part way down we'll fill it with water all the way down

we'll flush it there's a shower we include a trash can a bucket with some

cleaning supplies and then there's a shower head has an on in and off so you

can get wet turn it off soap up turned on and save

water if your boondocking and trying to save water while you're camping under

the counter here we're going to have toilet paper and chemical so there's a

bag with little pouches anytime you dump that black tank after you're done

dumping the black tank for the toilet come in take one of those pouches put it

down the toilet and flush it down with a little bit of water

that'll make it smell better and help it break down a little quicker

there's RV and marine paper in here for you if you need more on your trip try to

get the RV and marine paper you can get it at campgrounds or Walmart's and

probably other places as well but you don't want to use like a heavy home

quilted northern type of thing because it'll get into a ball in your tank and

then it doesn't dump and drain properly so you want to make sure that you use

that right paper this is our model 30d with our bunks and thanks for visiting
