"Could not see restrictor plate in a/c, supposed to have 15K BTU unit."
Check your manual in Thor black bag. See what model # you have on the A/C manual. Go to A/C website. Enter model # and see if there are specs for that model.

My initial terminology "restrictor plate" was confusing here until I got into manual and then saw it internal A/C. It is designated as a "chute/supply air plate". I understand its function now. My Model # is 48254C869.

AGM Battery Upgrade
Ordered my AGM batteries.
If you have this upgrade in your wallet, I suggest purchase these from your local Advance Auto Store. Much easier to deal with the local store on any warranty issues.
Engine battery. An Advance Auto AGM battery. "Autocraft 78 AGM".
http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/a...agm/10310751-P
Two house AGM batteries. "Optima D27M "
Also listed as "Model 8027-127 (D27M)"

When camping world sent the title there is a title from ford for the chassis and a title from thor. I guess they take the two and merge them together. I have to rake motorhome over monday and have a vin inspection because it is a new vehicle purchased out of state

Interesting. I am sure my switch are exactly opposite. What is your top row is my bottom row.

Checked chassis specs via the web this morning:
2014 and 2015, 18,000 have same:
Rear end- Dana 80
Outside to outside @ rear tires- 95.4"
I think I'll try the TT2400
Blue Ox did not impress me with their response. I bet the TT2400 is one of their top sellers. We are 3+ months into 2015 and no one at Blue Ox has checked this out yet? Business must be good! Or someone is in their rocking chair.

At this point, I see no reason to change the converter-charger. Most are 45 amp. Need to find brand of the converter-charger. As you found, it is under fuse box panel on right corner of bed.
