OPEN: Every day, thousands of campers choose to sleep on the ground..
Campers like Tom…
Tom spends his days under this awning… in a tent (Tom yells: it’s my parents tent)
In His parent’s tent- with no electronics…..
Tom is what we call a No Electronics Regular Dirt Sleeper… we can change that.. with
Rapid Camp Plus from Thor Motor Coach.
TOM: Wouldn’t you like to help a camper like me?
Here’s a rundown of everything happening on your home screen….
In the upper right corner…. you can see your house battery voltage and the time of
day… we’ll see how to set that in a bit.
Let’s Start on the top row..
Working our way from left to right…
You’ll find buttons that control your awnings, overhead bunk if you have one, vent fans,
and generator with auto gen start set up.
Moving down… we have climate control, lights - inside and outside your coach,
you can pull up your monitor panel, control your slide rooms
and if equipped... level your coach with the electric stabilizers.
You can return to this screen at any time by pressing the home key… located on the
bottom of the frame.
The usb and micros SD ports are for manufactures use… and reset will reset the system to
the factory defaults.
So let’s go ahead and tap each button and take a closer look at how the system works.
Tapping the Awning button pulls up the plus for extend and the minus for retract... simply
press the direction you want your awing to go... the gear icon moves… and your awning
is right where you want it…
If you coach is equipped with a dropdown bunk…
The bed lift button allows you to raise or lower the bed.
Simply press the down arrow to lower and the up arrows to raise….
Don’t forget to remove the pins before lowering and put them back in after the bunk is raised.
Tapping the fan button brings up the location of your vent vans and allows allows you to
turn the fans on or off.
Let’s dive into the generator settings… to fire it up… tap the start button.
Your generator will prime and start.
Stop turns it off.
The three dots brings up a sub menu…
This is where you log your generator maintenance… and configure you’re preferred auto start
settings.
First, determine what triggers you want to kick your generator on…
Auto Start voltage is how you hand pick the voltage the generator fires up at when the
house batteries drop to that level.
You can choose a range from 10 and a half to 12 volts.
If you turn on the Auto Start when needed by AC….
your generator will start when either the air conditioner or furnace hits the temperature
you selected in the climate setting.
The generator will stop when the set temperature is reached.
Auto start duration is how long you want the generator to run once it fires up… you can
choose between 30 and 180 minutes.
Auto start off duration is how long you want the generator to stay off before your triggers
fire it up… again you can choose between 30 and 180 minutes.
To set your quiet hours… which is the time period you do not want your generator to run...
such as overnight in a camp ground… first turn the enable switch to on.
Set the start time and your end time…
Make sure your RV time is set to whatever time zone you may be in...
Now you generator will not fire up during those hour … and you do not have to worry
about disturbing yourself or other.
HVAC brings up this screen… you have a number of options here.
Choose from heat/cool... which will cycle between the ac and furnace to keep your coach
at a certain temp... you can also choose simply heat or simply cool or off.
The option gear allows you to choose Celsius or ferenheight
Just like home…
You can also select your fan speed… high- low or auto
Moving to lighting… from these screen you can pick and choose what lights you want on
or off or simply choose all on or all off.
Tapping the monitor panel button brings up this screen which shows you a read out of
your black tank, fresh water tank, grey tank and propane..
Over on the right, you can see the house and chassis battery voltage as well as turn your
water pump and this is where you turn your tank heaters on and off.
Tapping the slides button brings up your slide controls… chose the slide room you want
to operate… slide one or slide two... tap the down arrow then chose in our out.
If your coach is equipped with stabilizers, tapping this button will bring up the controls...
you can extend or retract each one until your coach is level.
You can also control your coach with your phone or tablet…
Simply download the One Control app from your devices app store.
You’re going to need your owner tag card to get all set up...
Make sure the Bluetooth is on, on your device.
Once you see your Rapid Camp Plus pop up….
go ahead and tap it.
Now enter the password on your owner tag here...
A connection screen will pop up…..
When you are all connected... you’ll get three blue checkmarks and you’re ready to
use the system from your app.
All the buttons and functions are now accessible from your phone or tablet and work exactly
like they do on your main screen.
