2018 thor palazzo 33.3

Just purchased a used palazzo 33.3
And need some help with how the big slide rubber flaps should look.

The dealer removed the slide and i am finding alot off stuff that was done half ass.

The picture is of the bottom of the slide, there is two rubber flaps.
Im pretty sure they are supposed to be overlapping or closed enough where its not as easy for a rodent to make a new home.

Any pics of how it should look is appreciated
Thanks again

Wish i could help with this exact question. Sorry, 8 can't. But for future reference, I did own a 2018 33.3 from brand new to 48,000 miles and I dealt with many different issues over that period, not in a bad way, but just typical things. So if you have questions on other items that come up let me try to help. I loved my 33.3 for the most part. What a great DP for the money. Good luck

I removed the kitchen drawers and found adjusted the flap
Unscrewed it from the outside and they are much better now.
Also added some support to the cabinets in the rear.
Found a random cable that says ethernet/ hdmi
Anyone else have this cable. Seems like it was never used

The radio went out on the first drive after purchasing
I ended up removing the whole dash and added 2 speakers as well as a new radio.
Wired the dash speakers as the front channel and the 4 original speakers as the rear.


Would be nice if there was an improved camera system.
My drivers side camera is very blurry. The passenger is ok but the resolution is. Not that great.

Nice work. My radio stopped working on my 33.3 but I took it out and it was just a loose connection. Not the best nav system. I like the speakers. I found the defrost for windshield was really weak and needed upgraded venting in frosty conditions. I also had to silicone around the wheel trim. My roof was good, as it was always stored indoors

Those front ends are really low....watch out. I scraped and damaged mine several times. It is actually why we sold ours. Couldn't get down some of our favorite dirt roads. But wow we loved that Palazzo otherwise. Check the wet bay and storage compartment flooring for rot. Had to replace mine. Keep me posted.

I'm pretty sure that is the upgrade but not positive. Mine got upgraded and Thor sent a material in 4x8 sheets about 3/4 thick that was PVC plastic on both sides with a firm foam in between. Totally waterproof
