I'm surprised that you don't have sub. We have a 2014 36.1 with a Jensen TV & Vizio sound bar. Ours was under the dinette seat. You could get the model number for the sound bar (ours was VSB211Z), then check the Vizio site to see if it is supposed to have one.

I moved our sub from under the seat to under the table. This wouldn't work for everyone, but it will work for us. We seldom use the table for more than just the two of us, so having the sub there is not a problem.

I have the same TV/sound bar and I looked under the dinette as well as behind the screwed in long panel, lower right below TV, and no sub woofer. There is no other place that Thor could of placed the sub woofer so it would appear that we did not get one. Which is odd because the remote has sub + and sub - buttons.

I do not use the sound bar because it sounds like I am in some echo chamber regardless of how I adjust the volume controls.

Headed North on I-95 from Cape Canaveral this morning in the rain. Driver's side wiper started going past the A pillar. Finally able to pull into a Loves truck stop to check it out. Found where the shaft comes through the cowl (wiper arm mounts to it) that it was loose and floppy. Checked inside and found that the large nut was loose. Tightened it up and everything is fine. I will grab where the wiper arm connects and make sure everything is solid from now on.

Thanks. We aren't headed back to Ohio. Going to Gaffney, SC for Camp Freightliner and for one year chassis service. Then to Tom Johnson Camping in Marion, NC for some warranty work. After that, headed for warmer weather. We are staying the night at Lake Harmony RV Resort near Townsend, GA. Nice little park and $29 a night full hookup. Road isn't paved and a little rough but nice setting on a lake. It's going on my list of will return to parks. 59 degrees, low will be 46. Gaffney is colder. Heck of a lot better than Ohio. :-)

Just got my 33.2 back from CW where they installed Sat dish and set up my Wrangler for towing.

After I got home I noticed that all the lights on the left side of the leveling panel were blinking, no button I pushed would change the blinking display.

Read up on it and that display indicates some sort of Latch Fault.
Trouble shooting instructions were to push all four direction arrows at the same time, I pushed all 4 and the lights went out, problem solved.

Just in case anyone else runs into this problem.

It seems that just the left side lights blinking is a different problem than all lights blinking.

Jack,

When using the sound bar in the past, have you made sure the built in TV speakers are disabled through the TV settings? If not, that might account for the echo effect you're experiencing.

Norb,

Thanks for the info...echo is gone!

My daughter has a sound bar on one of their TV's and all they do is to turn the TV volume all the way down and they use the sound bar control to adjust the volume. I tried the same thing on our RV TV and got no sound but when I turned up the TV volume I got this echo.

Thanks Again!
Jack

Glad I could help - just love it when my guesses are right!

I am at Daytona for the big race. It is my first time dry camping. I have the ags working...starts at 12 volts and cuts off at 3 hours. Last night it shut off at 9pm and started at 7 am. so...10 hours. Started this morning at 7 and it shut off at 9am. At 1:30 it restarted. So 5 1/2 hours. Before this second restart, I checked the inverter drain and it showed 52 amps. Nothing on except my tv and sat antenna and fantastic fan. Shut it all off with no result. Anyone have thoughts on what could cause this? It did stop on it's own about an hour before the 1:30 restart.

Hummm, How about the fridge? But still, 52 amps is very high. The entire service going to the Motor Home is 50 amps (IF you were on shore power but as U said u r not.). You would have to have every single thing turned on at once that could possibly be on to come close to 50 amps. That just does not seem right. I doubt the fridge would even draw 15 amps on start up or even an AC or two at that. If it is truely saying 52 amps, something is shorted and getting VERY HOT at this point.

Let's see if I can still remember ohms law... at 120 volts - 50amps and say for example the 6Kw generator at (FULL capacity) was running that would mean something in the Palazzo is drawing current through a resistance of 2.4 ohms. Something is definitely cooking.
