2017 Freedom Elite 23H Ceiling Lights switch location?

Okay, friend of mine bought a brand new 2017 Thor Class C Freedom Elite 23H. With the generator on the ceiling lights come on automatically, as with being hooked up to shore power. We could not find a light switch to shut the ceiling lights off with the generator running or while hooked up to shore power? Is there something we are missing?

First off, those lights are 12v and have nothing to do with the generator. The gen/shore power runs the converter which will charge the coach battery if the store/use switch is in the use position. So may be another problem there.

Some of the lights in my 2017 29fe are controlled by switches mounted up under the cabinets, others have a small off/on switch the size of a pin head in the center of the lens.

Spoke to him yesterday and he took his MH back to place of purchase and they finally found a wire that was hooked up to the wrong terminal. They had to order the light cover and some other fastener covers that were missing. He also had water in the floor and a seal on one of the water line connectors was not properly installed (twisted/pinched)! Found screws in the floor, not sure if they were extras or they had been left out somewhere? This exact same motorhome is featured on the cover of Motorhome Magazine (July Issue) and they were not really impressed with the workmanship and quality of this Class C motorhome either. I would not purchase a new Thor product nor would I purchase from this particular dealership. Quality control is not a concern at the factory nor is there any inspection procedures in place at this dealership for receiving new MH from the factory. I think the purchase of a "gently used" motorhome is a much wiser choice IMHO!
