Our 2024 Thor Aria 3401's generator is bolted to angle iron that prevents access to the panel cover used to change the oil filter. The responses to questions to Thor range from owner maintenance is the owner's problem to a suggestion that we disassemble the mounting arrangement, disconnect the exhaust, jack up the generator somehow, replace the filer, and undo that process. This for routine maintenance that Onan says is required after 50 hours and every 150 hours thereafter.
The servicing dealer (the same chain from which we bought the RV) had no reasonable approach.
Is this design malpractice, is our unit the only one like this, or has someone figured out how to change the oil filter without paying someone a few to several thousand dollars?
Thanks.
